Bsky federates. I follow several people from my Mastodon profile.

Edit: I should add a caveat here. Federation doesn't work as smoothly as Threads yet. You have to use a bridge service: https://fed.brid.gy/

I thought it was unsuccessful as xitter was already the preferred platform

It isn't anymore, ad I expect that to accelerate. The Guardian just announced today that they will no longer use it, for example (although individual journalists may still choose to do so)

Exactly, especially to placate a country with no electronics manufacturing industry to speak of. How would Apple even meet that 40% target, and how is that number defined? Is it by % of material cost, or size, or weight, or what?

Blackmail is a terrible way to attract investment to your country. This is like Elon suing advertisers who left Twitter after he told them to fuck off.

Jakarta is seeking to boost investment from foreign tech companies with restrictive measures that require their phones to be 40 per cent sourced from parts in Indonesia.

Absolutely ridiculous policy. Imagine if every country pulled this stunt.

I'm not surprised the Corsair is better - it looks like there's a whole nvme drive in there.

What’s that number in words?

Per the article, it's 20 decillion.

Last time someone did that it triggered a conflict between Serbia and Albania!

I can absolutely see how the greedy would get scammed by this.

Really? The only way that could sound more like a scam is if there were a chyron at the bottom spelling out THIS IS A SCAM.

I wish they had agency pricing. Buying a license for every install is a bit much.
