Not subtle enough. Some conspiracy theorists think it’s about the Covid vaccine.

MacOS owns the developer/sysadmin laptop market.

Nothing that involves authoritative state of data can be decentralized. Ultimately something is a source of truth. Who decides what the torrent data is? Congratulations, your system is now centralized.

Decentralized systems are anarchist mastubatory fantasy, distributed systems are what runs the world.

This is a neckbeard dream, and it is why activity pub will never take off.

Grandma ain’t running her own instance, but she can swipe her card and get “grandmahotstuff.com” tied to her ATproto DID.

As long as the did is maintained by a neutral org like let’s encrypt, and icann remains functional, it’s a superior model, as those orgs are now tied to the functioning of the internet itself.

Decentralization is is unobtainable. You have to have a source of truth. DNS has shown us the way, everyone else is fucking around.

Gotta have a trusted org to manage identities.

Penises should be loved.

Until fediverse advocates stop thinking of people as simple minded, they will never understand the steps needed to be relevant.

The main advantage to Bluesky’s architecture is centralized identity and distributed components.

The centralized identity is key. Unless someone figures out a way to do this in activitypub, the fediverse will remain niche.

Nope. It’s over. Threads only had momentum from it automatically creating accounts for Meta users. Bluesky is organic.

Rumors are indicating that they want to offer some subscriptions to users(domain registration and hosting of various bluesky components).

The company is currently TINY, under 50 employees. So as long as the infra costs stay low, it won’t take much. If enough users get vanity domains, and they get some govt/enterprise accounts for hosting bsky.cnn.com and such.

So the idea is that they want to get to some ethical monetization strategy before releasing the software to aggregate content is released, and federation is enabled.

Is the 5 watts on an M series Mac?

Why is the moon more relevant than mars?

How is SpaceX destructive compared to other rocket companies? Also, do you know who built the Saturn V?

You are totally ignoring their arguments. Not every place can do wind or solar or hydro. Like it’s simply not an option.

Unfortunately LG makes the best panels, and many other brands use LG panels(not as good as what LG puts in their own units).

The solution here is to buy their ad subsidized tv and never connect it to the internet.

They transitioned most of their devices to usb save the iPhone before the EU legislation went into effect.

Apple caught shit for going USB-C only on their laptops years ago.

If you have other Apple devices the Apple TV is the best option.

Plex makes an app for it, and infuse makes a fantastic media server client.

Also enables all kinds of useful home automation integration, and FaceTime via your television(this is a game changer).

The chin would act as a lever no? The longer the chin the harder your brain is shaken.

It’s a weird moral grey zone. Everyone has forgotten the hundreds of people Boeing murdered as a result of their desire to skirt modern safety regulations. I just flew my family across the country yesterday on one of these end-stage-capitalism products for lack of any other option.

Were I to be ash this morning, I would be forgotten too.

But if astronauts were killed, maybe the outrage would finally be enough for all the greased palms to be sheepishly shoved in pockets just long enough to get justice, ground all those affronts to safety, and jail enough executives to maybe make Boeing stop being a global safety risk and a national security concern.

Docker exists because most programming languages don’t give a shit about producing easily executable outputs.

Nobody cares about your stupid python egg or ruby gem. How do I run it on my local?

Apple couldn’t get the carriers to do shit. They blocked eSIMs for years on iPhones, meanwhile the iPad eSIM implementation was happily allowed.

Even up to the iPhone launch nobody wanted to collaborate with Apple(especially for the voicemail) except Cingular.

HomePod is still mid. But people really sleep on how terrible the first Apple Watch was, and how AppleTV is a media juggernaut now.
