This is the most defensible point. Designing APIs to determine what content on your screen is ok to send to a third party (Apple offers ChatGPT integration) is a decent amount of work.

Sure, here’s a station just for you.

They were running everything on a single rack during the first big rush.

I would argue Trump has great business acumen for exactly the reasons you describe.

He’s a mobster who got rich off strong arming, manipulation, and fraud.

Stop assuming his incompetence at being an evil capitalist billionaire and maybe people will finally accept that he is a highly capable amoral danger to the world.

No, but it is moral to disrupt Tesla’s supply chain.

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.

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

Reason.com is a libertarian propaganda mill. This story is meant to pit you against the state so you can swallow their other bullshit.

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.

What actions have you taken to save lives in Gaza?

If you didn’t vote for Harris, the answer is absolutely fucking nothing of consequence.

How about the left instead make compromises with reality instead?

Fuck that noise, drama baby leftists who can’t think past tomorrow cost us this election.

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.

The Apple mouse comes with some weird pads. They’re meant to work OK with a certain amount of friction on a wide variety of surfaces. However as you’ve found they suck on a mouse pad.

Replace the Apple pads with some made from teflon and you’ll be good.
