How finalized is the rel="self" part? I was thinking I might submit a PR to Snac for this, but I see at least Mastodon and GoToSocial use rel="alternate" and Threads doesn't seem to have a rel attribute on the tag.
Edit: cc'ing @evan@cosocial.ca in case this doesn't make it back to Threads. -

Something I'd be interested in that I can't seem to find:
A low-powered Linux laptop with an e-ink display, that I could use for long-form writing or coding.
What I've found so far are mostly either
- Tablets intended for note-taking (like the ReMarkable or BOOX's various lines)
- Higher-end where the e-ink display is an extra (like Lenovo's swivel designs where you rotate the display to use either an OLED or e-ink).
Some of the tablets do have keyboard cases, which would be better than just hooking up a random Bluetooth keyboard, but it doesn't look like I can just install programs on them, except for the Android ones, which aren't going to be ideal for things like coding or running build scripts or anything like that.
The closest I found was the Modos Paper Laptop, but seems to still be in the prototype phase.
Does this form factor exist yet? Am I just having trouble finding them because of the current state of search?

@evan@cosocial.ca @ClickyMcTicker@hachyderm.io @stinerman@mastodon.social The GOP is hyper-supportive of Israel and not too fond of Muslims. Any Republican president would likely be more thorough in their support and not even bother with token humanitarian aid. Many would actively encourage wiping them out and replacing them with settlements. And Trump, known for his hot-headedness, literally launched his political career on racism and his administration on anti-Muslim policy.
Even Palestinian-Americans are going to be in greater danger under Trump than Biden.
In short: anything you don't like about what Biden is doing in this situation, Trump is likely to do more of it, more intensely, and with enthusiasm. -

Looks like #Threads still doesn't federate properly with #Snac2 or #GoToSocial.
Which may be a feature as far as most GTS and Snac users are concerned!
But I do want Threads to technically be able to federate with most/all other software that uses #ActivityPub, so it can be user/admin choice whether to accept connections from the giant instance...and more importantly, to cut down on the risks of vendor lock-in and EEE.
And I hope more compatible systems will cut down on the "OK, my software federates with itself and Mastodon, I'm done" problem. In some cases there may be bugs on the smaller project's side, and fixing them might also fix issues talking to other small projects.
GTS has already fixed a bug found by trying to federate with Threads, but there's still a bug on the Threads end preventing them from talking to each other.

Key quote:
If Facebook had an issue tracker for threads, someone could open an issue there. If threads was an open source project, we could look at the code and immediately know what's up, but... 🤷
I might take a look at the Snac logs later and see if there's anything on this end breaking communication with Threads, or if it's all on the Meta side. -

This is interesting: In Snac, I can see a Threads post boosted via a Mastodon account. It's a post from a few days ago on the account I tried to follow earlier. And according to the timeline and API, I am following them from Snac. But they aren't showing up on the list of people I follow.
This suggests that Snac is able to interact with Threads posts, and is able to follow Threads accounts, but runs into trouble retrieving Threads profiles.
Partial federation is a more interesting problem IMO than no federation, so now I really want to take a look at the logs!
