Hell yea +1 for shepherd.

Declarativity on steroids.

More than likely we’ll see in/outbox functionality similar to activitypub, so the PDSes could interop with ActivityPub and individually talk to one another

This is not true.

The App view, relay, PDS, and mobile app, code is all open source. Anyone can spin up their own version if they want.

If you want a complete copy of bluesky (reflecting the bluesky post firehose) it’s prohibitively expensive, but you can spin up your own version if you want.

The only thing that’s missing is bluesky federating anything other than PDSes by default, but you can 100% go in the other direction.

A good overview is here: What bluesky is and what bluesky is not

But he went on to say: “We’re not adding any more software engineers next year because we have increased the productivity this year with Agentforce and with other AI technology that we’re using for engineering teams by more than 30% – to the point where our engineering velocity is incredible. I can’t believe what we’re achieving in engineering.”

This announcement is just advertising for agentforce (their AI) they’re likely not being serious about it.

This is already implemented on windows

It’s actually using whisper.cpp

From the README:

Memory usage Model Disk Mem tiny 75 MiB ~273 MB base 142 MiB ~388 MB small 466 MiB ~852 MB medium 1.5 GiB ~2.1 GB large 2.9 GiB ~3.9 GiB

Those are the model sizes

I’ve never seen a big company like bytedance give PTO for a death in the family, much less for someone’s house burning down.

Any of those companies big enough middle management can hide behind “company policy” and then off their hearts and brains.

I mean DMA (direct memory access) devices are only like 170 bucks now:

These are almost impossible to do anything about even client-side because they operate on a hardware level.

In general state-reading hacks (like invisible walls and Gameworld state information hacks) are almost impossible to do anything about, to the point where when companies are able to find a way to defeat one of these things it’s huge news.

They can’t, actually, because they don’t hold the rights to that content, only to GOG and the installer. Once it’s installed their distribution and license rights end.

If the game you install has its own license from the rights holder that gets revoked then you’ll be in breach of that license, if anything.

This is just the license to download the game installer, not to install it.

Once you’ve downloaded the software they can’t revoke the license for that installer file.

…Yes?

This is specifically about making the plc DID you’re given when you sign up (@username.bsky.social) move to the web DID you create when you verify your domain (@username.domain).

You can still use whatever usernames you want under your domain (@username.username.domain).

This guy guix it

That’s not true at all actually, running a PDS uses about as many resources as a regular personal blog HTML server (as it doesn’t do anything but serve up your signed posts), and running a relay with only the couple thousand people that have decided to host their own PDSes is home self-hostable.

Good blog post here clearing some stuff up: https://whtwnd.com/alexia.bsky.cyrneko.eu/3l727v7zlis2i

Guix user pains. The packages download at that speed.

It’s a tossup whether downloading Librewolf or building it will take longer

The way Coffee Stain explained it for satisfactory is that the exclusivity windfall gave them enough runway to finish the game.

If the system of temporary exclusivity in exchange for upfront development cash continues I think it’s an overall win for the gaming community as games get to come out at less rushed pace and with potentially less cash generation grabs in the game itself.

This is much more likely as LLMs typically only respond that they can’t formulate a response when there’s an error in the prompt pre-handling systems.

This isn’t entirely accurate. Main issue is that this is all very new and moving very fast, so while it’s not fair to call atprotocol completely open it’s not fair to call it centralized either.

Right now you can run a relay independently and you can scrape bluesky’s PDS set with it (guy did that in July and it cost about 150 bucks a month, probably more expensive now. https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3kwzl7tye6u2y) there’s just not much incentive to do so. This recent policing of accounts might change the calculus on that thought process, but for now it’s not really that you “can’t” it just nobody really wants to. (Additionally there’s only like one client that lets you set multiple relays and/or appviews, so the front-ends haven’t caught up with this idea either.)

Theres about 760 or so independent PDSs right now: https://blue.mackuba.eu/directory/pdses and the list is growing.

You can host an independent blog using your own PDS and not even using bluesky’s Relay network at all: https://github.com/haileyok/blug

Or you can still have your data independent on your PDS but still allow the relay to scrape your blog update mentions: https://whtwnd.com/

tl;Dr:

They are VC-Funded, they will inevitably screw over everyone!

I understand where this notion might come from, though, ATproto has already matured enough that it could be used without BlueSky PBC existing. It could die tomorrow, and with little effort the ~650 non-bsky PDSs and a relay (which would have to handle much less data at that point) could be ran by volunteers and interested people.

That’s ironic considering the magic word is basically shouting “balls”
