YOU WILL DIE

Quite the opening to that game.

So ATProto that bluesky is built on has 3 core aspects. PDS’s (personal data server, stores your account content and data), Relays (transmits your actions such as likes, favorites, replies etc), and Appviews (basically the front end that you use to convert the data to a human readable front end like the bluesky app)

PDS’s are allowed to be hosted by others right now but Relays are not. So even if you host your own PDS on the bluesky network, you rely on the bluesky controlled relay to be able to interact with the network.

In theory there is a future where other people can host relays on the network but it’s not that way right now and is likely going to be too cost prohibiting for the people hosting to ever be realistic.

A game that’s never mentioned on the internet? Probably would have to be something that came on those shareware discs in the 90s then.

I’ll go with the Adventures of MicroMan

“What’s up Wanda” “Let’s sprint”

The delivery of those two lines are burned into my memory.

Inevitably every movie I’d make in that program would just be 2 characters karate kicking each other and then exploding

The bridges are singular points of failure. If the bridge you use goes down you lose all your audience that was on that bridge. It’s better than nothing however. I will consider normies using threads and Bluesky a win as much as I can but it’d be so more ideal if we just all were on open and truly federated protocols instead of relying on half measures

Not really. You can host your own data but you still rely on Bluesky’s services to access it. And there is no realistic way to migrate your content or audience to another platform outside their control

57 different 3rd party apps is probably a good start. Mastodon has to be easy to on-board and it isn’t for someone with no technical understanding what domains, servers or instances are. To that group Bluesky makes sense. You are signing up for Bluesky. Try to onboard that group to mastodon and they don’t understand if they are on mastodon.social or mastodon.world or any other instance.

Why would they be on one of those fringe services with less users than bluesky? That’s what a non expert understands

I think you could make an argument of combining the essentials of physics and chemistry into a single year long course but that would include teaching the conservation of energy, periodic table and so on.

But I disagree that people don’t use apply these subjects in your life. I think it’s pretty necessary to be able to estimate distance or be able to engineer repairs at home without having to call a professional or order brand new goods, or for chemistry, be able to clean your home without accidentally making a bomb.

Providers have a market incentive to provide the most convenient experience to their patients. The market incentive does not exist for sending information to other providers so they will take the path of least resistance to be compliant with regulation

Ok don’t make it mandatory but then what would you be teaching instead? These are all like the basic building blocks of chemistry and geometry. You just aren’t gonna teach kids those subjects then?

Whether there is something wrong with doing that is a matter of ethics and personal values…

Regardless of those, it’s profoundly stupid to taunt Nintendo with confessions of piracy and threats to commit more

You will use vim and like it. 40 lashes if you have to look up what the hot keys are

Just get the confusing branding over with and call it “Intelligence for Windows Live Business Premium”

I had the original 2019 Motorola razr. I treated it like a precious heirloom. The screen started to have pixels die and the touch digitizer went out after 6 months. Kept it in a case and never dropped it.

I think there are a wide range of outcomes based on the manufacturing process but my experience has soured me on foldables. I’d rather use a mini phone instead. But it seems like the mini phone niche is just as small as the clamshell foldable one so I may have no choice at some point

Is a p2p system for media with the instances just hosting magnet links too slow for fediverse purposes? To me this seems like the most resilient way to handle media in a decentralized system

A live service game failing isn’t newsworthy. It’s newsworthy when one isn’t completely terrible

After 6 months VC money demands they move on into live service and other ways to screw their audiences

I believe what he is saying is that he can’t load Reddit results because Reddit blocks his VPN, so blocking Reddit from search results is useful to him

To me office is the bonus to the cloud storage and syncing. Yeah I know it’s easy to run a NAS but the UX of having to manage it is a headache and quite frankly it gives me more piece of mind to pass the buck of getting pwned to Microsoft or Google

Todays Mac’s are tomorrow’s Linux machines.
