Threads is view-only without the app, so no using it on PC. Probably because they wouldn't be able to get as much data. I would never use it anyway but it's so stupid.

Wow. Did not know that. That's crazy. Let's cripple something running on a more powerful processor and with a bigger screen and full keyboard? That's just backwards and terrible.

Not backwards for them maybe. They will frame it as being a mobile-optimized experience that captures your (whatever), but of course it is monitoring your gyro right now to determine whether you're sitting upright, lying in your bed, or ... something else.

Safe bet if you are on threads, Lemmy, or Reddit, you're probably pooping.

It's fundamentally backwards. I miss times when tech people ran technology.

I meant threads in this case.

And yes I am literally pooping. Goddamn diarrhea.
