  • 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".

  • 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

  • I don't get the problem with flathead, for household applications it seems the most superior because I can use literally anything in my house to drive the screw (butter knife, credit card, a housekey)

    plus almost every size of flathead screwdriver can fit in almost every size of flathead screw.

  • ohh ...

  • In Japan if you work full time for a larger employer, you pay into "shakai hoken" (societal insurance) this pays you like a third of your salary if you get injured and have to refrain from work for awhile. (This is at least partially paid for by your company because you can only legally be fired in Japan if the company proves beyond a reasonable doubt you were either belligerent or the company couldn't survive without you)

  • 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.

  • 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.
