Another weird phenomenon about Threads is that, even though I just had a post hit 1,300 likes, I didn't gain a single follower.
I don't want to suspect foul play, but that seems unusual.

Y’all, I don’t understand Threads. My posts either get absolutely no engagement or this:

@npub1rar…q4yr Not much of either in dead silence.

I'm going to be honest with y'all...
I'm struggling to continue posting on Mastodon. It just doesn't feel like it's worth the effort.
Here's the engagement of one of my posts on Threads vs. the same post on Mastodon:

I believe the reports. I’ve been on the iPhone Upgrade Program since the XS (2019), and the 16 Pro is the first generation that I decided not to upgrade to.
There’s just nothing about it that makes it a compelling upgrade from the 15 Pro.

5.50” of rain at my house from the remnants of Hurricane Francine.
It was a steady, soaking rain for about 3 days. The yards and trees really needed it, and, luckily, there was very little flooding in the area.

Judging by the state of its UX, I'm beginning to wonder if anybody who works on the Apple Music app actually enjoys listening to music.

At this point, if you still choose to work at an Elon Musk company or purchase his products, I’m going to have major reservations about your character and motivations.
He’s given you plenty of evidence that he’s a fascist troll at best and creepy predator at worst.
Willful ignorance is no excuse anymore.

On a lighter note, I finally broke down and bought one of those delicious looking Pepperidge Farm cookie packages today…
…it was like eating a yoga mat. 🤣
Glad I haven’t been missing out.

I remember that Pop-Tarts held a contest in the early 2000s for kids to submit a new flavor, and the one that won was “Chocolate Chip”.
I think that was the moment the last bit of my childhood innocence died.

I find it unfortunate that Apple has completely abandoned masculine colors for iPhone. Would love umber, orange, forest green, or navy options, but apparently “men get black or white”.
It’s literally become the exact same setup as formal wear, and I hate it.

Thinking back to when Chick-Fil-A discontinued the spicy chicken biscuit for a multigrain bagel.
(The spicy chicken biscuit was reinstated after a few years and the bagels were discontinued.)

It bothers me when a peripheral company will make an amazing keyboard, but then not put forth the effort to make it fully compatible with macOS.
I understand that the market for keyboards is mostly geared towards PCs and gamers, but, dadgummit, I want to use my nice keyboard with both of my computers.

@npub1kmk…mtuy The hardest part is the night before. Fasting + Purging is rough. The procedure itself is as easy as taking a nap.

@npub1k9m…tej5 I don't understand why Apple won't sell the black braided cable that comes with the new iPad Pros separately. I’d buy at least 3 more.

@npub1u24…32pl I hope WWDC brings some compelling iPadOS updates, because the hardware feels perfected.

I don't understand how the generation that literally watched CFCs in aerosols wreck our ozone layer (and the rebound it had when those CFCs were banned) can sit back and deny that manmade climate change is real.

@npub1eee…e209 How bad of a pressure mark/indention did it leave on your face, and how long did it last?
(My biggest worry about using it is having a permanent raccoon mask on my face.

@npub1p9k…865w It was mandatory on the previously top-of-the-line LCD model (pre-OLED). It was one of the selling points.

@npub1fh6…zu76 @npub1pxe…y0a7 What caused the dip from the 50s to the 70s? Seems weird that it would dip during a time of rapid growth and industrialization. Maybe recovering from a decade of Europe being on fire/exploding? Or just natural ebb and flow?

#Figma Pro-Tip:
You can use the Tab key to navigate between text layers. Saves a ton of time when filling out table rows. Works better than it has any right to work.
