For a simple Twitter clone it has way to much hype. It tastes a lot like Google+ (RIP)

[–] Grabbels@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, let’s be real: it’s caught on way better than Google+ and is already pretty mainstream with lots of people flocking over in need for a Twitter replacement. Google+ entered into a space that was saturated by Facebook with very little extra value (or none at all) when switching.

[–] FoxBJK@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago

Google+ also infected other Google products and basically forced itself onto folks who didn’t even want it, making it tainted from the start. It’s not like Threads is being forced onto WhatsApp users or anything. The only thing that’s possibly going to be an issue is once they start adding advertising, but I doubt that’ll matter much.

The most and perhaps only important thing is it is not helmed by Elon Musk. I’ll keep using it as long as that’s the case.

I mean, Zuckerberg is neither any more egalitarian nor any more respectful of your privacy. Seems like a lateral move if that's your thing.

This cartoon says it all.

I definitely wouldn't call the Zucc a better person than Elon Musk, but at least he's not as unpredictable.

This is the biggest value proposition for it at the moment

Pretty funny that the Windows ME one has the windows logo in the bin. They knew from the start it was a flop

[–] Oreeeee@social.fossware.space 11 points 1 year ago

It's sadly edited in. Windows Me and 2000 shared the same trash icon.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

My first thought looking at this meme was that Windows uses the "recycling bin" OS X uses the trash. My brain picking problems with jokes online.. oh how far I have fallen

it s honestly just scary to think if threads takes off zuckerberg will have even more of our data

[–] Grabbels@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

He already has everything, check the Instagram specs. Threads is nothing new in that regard.

yea that s still more than 90% of the world population

[–] FarLine99@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

If you do not want to, you don't have to. It is good 🙂

I miss the awesome Windows 95 Plus! High color version. It was way prettier than the Windows 98 high color version that is on the pic.

Classic, my man 🤝

2006 Windows XP had the best icons.

[–] Amputret@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] fennec@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Vista had the best icons!

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

2006 is Vista though. The one XP used was 2001.

[–] fennec@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve always said Vista had the best icons.

Kinda funny how Microsoft went the fuck back to the original but Meta

[–] Aicse@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This illustration is missing Twitter as well, it is not a phase, I'd say it is a ramification together with Threads.

Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook (old school trash at this point), Snapchat, Instagram, etc.

The corporate online space is trash.

[–] woshang@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Can't agree no more

[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Oh man, this one gets Double Nerd Score!

[–] Ultra980@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why did they decide to rotate the trash can, and then canceled that decision?

[–] Flughoernchen@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Because the finally realized that left facing trash is superior trash

[–] captainkaladin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty impressive they got so many people to sign up with a logo that looks like a kid scrawled it when he was bored in class
