  • Forgive my ramblings, but here's the main differences I see, from a community perspective:

    Bluesky's for people who loved twitter circa 2015Mastodon's for people who loved the format but hated the way the platform made use of it. The community is FOSS-focused and anti-corporate.Bluesky folks are anti-corporate, but they still want their social media to be on a single platform and tend to dislike federationMastodon folks tend to be in smaller circles and more tech enthused

    Features-wise, Mastodon kills the algorithm in favour of chronological timelines and lists, while Bluesky embraces algorithms, allowing people to even make their own algorithms for the platform. Bluesky's AT Proto uses "DIDs" to identify users, which are associated directly with a domain^[or subdomain]. This means that when federation does eventually happen, usernames will just be @my.domain.com instead of ActivityPub's @actor@my.domain.com.

    Federation's still not enabled so I have no clue how things will look and feel on that front, nor am I familiar enough with the protocol to make any claim about how versatile it is. ActivityPub is flexible enough to be a Twitter clone, a reddit clone, a blogging platform, a youtube clone, a twitch clone, a goodreads clone, or several other formats. AT Proto's currently only proven to work for a Twitter clone.

  • So I'm just thinking about how this would work, in a perfectly non-competitive world:

    There'd need to be some Browser Standards Association to implement and suggest browsers to add to a list of "certified browsers", with transparent requirements to be included to ensure low quality or outdated browsers aren't included. The OS would need to implement that entire list in a randomized format. There'd preferably be some sort of built-in pros/cons list of the browser, I suppose these could be put together by a combination of the BSA and the competing browsers.But these pros/cons won't be understandable or significant to 95% of people.

    The BSA would also want to ensure there's diversity not just in browser and companies (like Opera getting 3 fucking entries), but would also want to ensure there's a variety of browser engines (preferably not just chromium and webkit).

  • You really need a ukelele for your apologies.

  • You've got something on your lip, right hereɯ9:-)

  • You can use this logic to explain away any other ponzi scheme too.

  • IIRC they backpedalled on that before they released due to the massive backlash

  • Came here to say this. Not only is it a great OST, but it's great enough that I feel no desire to mention any other game. As an OST to listen to, it's truly top notch, and imo best of class.

  • Good. We need to protect our kids from this anti-LGBTQ garbage. The premiere stands on the wrong side though, even if he were to pay lip service.

  • You're such an awful piece of shit, nice obvious dog whistle though.

  • IIRC current twitter blue subscribers see 50% fewer ads than free users.

  • I can't imagine there's many people who even like twitter on the fediverse, much less would like it enough to pay for it.

  • For me the biggest thing was motion controls in the future Xbox controller. To me that means motion controls in XInput, and a standardized motion control library on PC that's not reliant on Steam. Hopefully means multiplats will be more willing to implement them where they make sense, for people who like them.

  • My mistake, I figured it was easy enough to confuse X as in Twitter with X as in several dozen other tech and tech-adjacent projects.

  • Internet Archive's been victim to anti-preservation efforts for years. They'll deal with them likely the same way they always do, and are dealing with a lawsuit right now over The Great 78 Project.

  • TL;DW

  • I'm gonna second both Violet Evergarden and Your Lie in April.

    Violet Evergarden, hands down, is the most I've cried watching something.

    Plastic Memories is also really good for that at the end, but the overall show imo isn't quite as good. Still, I rated it a 9.2/10
