TLDR:

• Meisner effect caused by ferromagnetic impurities, wasn’t actually levitating, just parts of it were repelled by the magnet.
• Extreme change in resistivity at 104.8 degrees C caused by internal copper sulfide molecules, which exhibit a phase change exactly at that temperature.
• a team grew a single crystal version. It’s an insulator.

Nah I hate jira because it’s so damn slow to do any action

I’m okay with tickets, it’s the price we pay, but there is a serious lack of “in and out” with jira. As a dev, I want to spend as little time as possible in a software like jira.

I think that any service that is not “sponsored” by the restaurant should make it abundantly clear that is the case.

I don’t think it should be outright banned, but a distinction must be made to the end user.

Season 7 is the best!

I’m hoping corporations start their own instances (like nytimes makes an instance for its main account and its journalists) and institutions like universities make their own instances as well (there’s so many .edu emails, there should be .edu fedi accounts). This prevents their posts being governed by a big entity like Facebook and prevents a Twitter style enshitification.

From a normal user standpoint, follow your friends on threads, talk to them about how they don’t need to be on the threads app, and encourage posting/replying between instances with those around you.

I think this is a good point, but I think the fedi community is established enough to bring people in when threads starts federating. If people show others tools like mastodon groups, following hashtags, etc it could encourage users to interact enough with outside instances to keep the federation necessary.

That’s the big question I think, can we convince new threads user to want to be apart of the fediverse? The door is going to get opened between the two communities and we need a substantial amount of cross-instance participation to justify Facebook not being able to defederate or make breaking changes without angering their user base and jumping ship to a non-threads instance.

I just don’t see the point of defederating from them. If they want to steal users they can do that without federating. All we are doing is sharing content.

Facebook will build a good service no matter what. If we want any chance of the fediverse to extend to every social media user I’m of the belief we should federate.

To be clear I think it’s totally fine for a server to defederate. I’ll be staying on an instance that does federate as I want to be able to see my local community and also interact with friends and family from threads

I think we should federate at first unless there are actions Facebook is currently taking that could harm our instance. My home mastodon instance fosstodon is taking a measured approach that I think should be mirrored.
