It’s a simple command line calculator! I use it all the time.

I love locate! I have a cronjob that updates the db every night, then I can just find a file without having to think about where it is

Holy shit I was just talking about cp with progress today. Awesome

I like the freedom to watch the kids remote work brings, but I hate the loss of concentration that having kids “at the office” (home) brings.

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.

The harder your freeze, the more you’ll need to rewarm the markets to get your economy going again.

Milei is pumping millions into shale oil pipelines and lithium mines, I assume that’s his game plan for “rewarming the markets”.

This is a super comprehensive book on the entire topic.

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

Same thing happened with Shinzo Abe’s killer.

I would be very suspect of gofundmes that have appeared already

Lots of scams are going to pop up around this I assume.

Rev up those gofundmes for his bail and lawyers.

I love it when people participate in the Overton window right-wing ratchet and think they’re just being pragmatic.

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.

Commenting on the joke’s explanation explaining that it makes it funnier makes it even funnier

Illuminati trying to keep America away from delicious beef fat boiled meats

That’s a really fun rule of thumb

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.
