I got an invite to join last year and signed up to test it out.
Felt like there was a lot less people and a lot less content on it than Mastadon.
Unless the users/content now really starts to take off, there's not enough on there to make it interesting.
Some forums are still reasonably active. I use Whirlpool fairly regularly. Mostly tech related, but has lots of other sections too.

If you search around you can find others.
Yeah, it seems to work now. Didn't used to work reliably a few years ago. Now, text within any document I save seems to come up in search shortly afterwards.
This happened to me once.
I forgot I had contraband on me and jumped to New Atlantis. I got scanned and asked to hand it over, but instead I just jumped out to The Den to sell the Contraband.
As soon as I got there security started shooting at me.
Had to load a previous save.
An interesting read. Yeah, it's complicated.
I think sound has been a bit under-appreciated compared to visual effects/quality in recent years.
It's things like this that make me glad that my email service defaults to not loading any images/links/html. There's a small button at the top to load them if I want.
Yes, I remember that! I recall thinking, imagine how good this will get in the future. Sadly it didn't.
Exactly the same in Australia.
This.
I use Adguard, if a site blocks me for it, then it goes on a black list of "never visit" sites.
In a few cases, if I use and like/support a specific site a lot and that site is ad supported with no other ad-free option, then I white list it.
But to read the odd crappy article? No I'm not disabling my ad blocker.
Yeah, I really liked the movie and it's hard to describe exactly why.
It's not an amazing story, or amazing characters, it's not exciting....but it has a certain vibe/mood to it that I liked.
I was also a bit fascinated by Japan, so that's part of it. Got to visit a couple of times in the years after seeing the movie and whenever I've been in a Tokyo hotel room it's reminded me of the film!
Yeah, that's on my to watch list.
__ New age technology has enabled consumers to pay for groceries with one wave of their hand, a development that has been deemed “kind of scary”.
The technology was highlighted in a video of a woman checking out of US retailer Whole Foods with Amazon One – a system allowing shoppers to pay with a mere flash of their palm. __
Hmm, interesting. Not sure what I think about this. Anyone in the US using it already?
I mean it's convenient. You can't forget your palm at home. Your palm can't run out of battery. It's pretty hard to replicate based on the article which suggests it is "impossible for a person’s palm to be replicated because its scan captured the hand’s 'underlying vein structure to create a unique numerical, vector representation'”.
I'm guessing this is for small transactions, not buying a car, so I doubt people are going to be chopping off people's hands and using them to buy groceries (hopefully!).
Could be a useful tech?
Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?
Even allowing people to follow that account?
Sounds like they really wanted to push Threads out the door in a big way.
I've found that the text markup toolbar (is that what it's called?) does not function in Connect when replying to an existing post. Tapping on any icon has no impact.
However if I'm creating a post, like this one, then it works fine.
Is this by design or is it some sort of bug or limitation?

Agreed, it's so good.
