One time I asked my brother how he installed iPhone apps that aren’t in the app store. He just said you can’t ???

I could never figure out NFS … ( it only works with unix usernames??) But since I have smb servers I can use that with Android

How was this show real

In the thread it looks like in the US you can’t copyright the shapes, but in the UK, you can for 25 years. Also the .ttf file that contains the code to make the font render correctly at low DPI is copyrightable in the US.

Different ad

I would rather have unlimited with extra steps than unlimited with extra money

Haha that’s funny, when I first had to use slack and discord, I thought oh this is IRC, just with extra crap

Kind of like how Marcus Persson was almost a person?

Sounds like he’s more loyal to Tesla than to the consumers it hurt

I had to read it so many times before I could see it.

To me that’s so cringe because I’ve tried it out for explaining concepts and when I take that information and try to use it, it is confidently wrong so much of the time.

The one thing it has helped me with is when I’m trying to do some system administration task, where traditional search engine results are old forum entries or out of date documentation, llms can suggest a way to do the task, and then I can follow those breadcrumbs and do real research on how to do what I need to do.

Can’t just leave us hanging with that ending!

These are the true points, however the 4th reason to use a VPN is if you are using a fingerprint-resistant browser and lots of other people are too, it’s harder to track who is going where, since the exit IP is shared.

If tor isn’t working for whatever reason

I’m sad that bots in space had to spin down, but there are still bots on Mastodon. One server quitting didn’t take everything down.

The part where if a mastodon post gets popular, it has to serve that to everyone makes sense because it’s kind of like a website. Maybe there could be a CDN like Cloudflare that a mastodon server could use to cache responses?

The part about Bluesky that doesn’t sound good to me is “to send a message to one user is to send it to all”. Wouldn’t this be crazy with even 100 servers for 10000 users, vs 2 servers with 5000 each? Not sure how the math works but it doesn’t look good if they have to duplicate so much traffic.

My social circle for texting is really small, but in the good old days of social media I kept in touch with a wider circle.

If they can do this to people with fewer rights than citizens now, they will do it to anyone they can, at any stage, as much as they can get away with it.

Hey I really appreciate you and up voted your post.

However as I’ve come to understand it, fouls in basketball are very much used strategically by every team to stop the clock when they’re behind. So unless the rules are changed, I would agree with the maga that some fouls can be done a few times. Because that’s basketball, and not the future of our country.

Have you had any success connecting to old friends outside of mainstream social media? That’s what I’m struggling with.

I can’t speak to how traffic costs and mastodon works, but this article explains how having multiple blue skies federating with each other scales quadratically. https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/ it is very thorough.

Maybe we shouldn’t select for LLMs that can play first shooter games.
