Yes the original use case is sending patches back and forth on the Linux kernel mailing list

You can vibe code the tests too y’know

when r/drama sends its people, they’re not sending their best

Brain oxygen levels are the most important one iirc

now i’m sad that this is (afaik) impossible in the future with everything switching to wayland

yeah i’m thinking that if you want you might be able to wrangle this into a semi permanent job

man after my own heart

Matrix/element is good for private group chat but quickly falls apart for any public/semi public scenario where you might need automated moderation :( discord still undefeated there

Are the jetbrains ides open source?

On bluesky/atproto, your handle is a hostname and is only recognized valid if you control that hostname. Basically the same as rel=me except it’s a .well-known file instead of a html tag

This was true for a while but they’re updating the sync protocol to support sharding etc. people are running full network relays off a raspberry pi

The authentication parts uses a standard w3c developed format called DID. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_identifier it’s basically a more general form of a url that must point to a specially formatted file. There are several did methods. atproto supports did:web which stores the doc at a user-set http URL path, and also did:PLC which stores the doc in a special database controlled by bsky. They plan (hopefully) add more methods in the future.

But yeah, the currently supported did:web authentication method is fully independent of bsky inc

Web browsing 101: if you see a hyperlink on social media, you can click on it and then look around to see if it contains more links with useful information, often in the header or footer of the page. Here I found one for you: https://xkcd.com/about/

Sponsor block just uses crowd sourced submissions people vote on. No reason an ai bot couldn’t submit entries too, if they’re good they’ll get upvoted

They don’t even use absurd amounts of energy. I literally have one running on my computer at home

Don’t we have compression built into http already?

Yeah wholesome mom and pop businesses getting eaten by larger, more specialized and efficient corpos is not a flaw, it’s an inherent feature of capitalism. A worker at a specialized firm can manage dozens of apartments for the same salary as your aunt managing just one or two- she stands no chance in the long run. Same for retail stores and most other kinds of businesses really.

The only solution is democracy- having the larger more efficient firm be democratically owned by its workers and accountable to them and through them the community, rather to a cigar chomping investor hundreds of miles away

No, not all investment is the same. look up the difference between rent and profit.

It might, but actual leftists should object to that framing

Not strictly speaking. Bluesky supports did:web as well as did:plc, and with any luck they’ll add more decentralized methods
