We've just opened a new firmware/system software role (open to US, Canada, and Taiwan). We develop open source firmware to enable products like this, and we have even more exciting projects on our roadmap:

Ok ok ok ok ok ok so.

What's preventing #Threads from creating a global index of fediverse posts, then incentivizing the third party mastodon apps to populate their feed with that index?

Jay Grayber CEO BlueSky:

> If centralized platforms are governed like monarchies, federated networks are governed like little feudal societies. There isn't just one king ruling over the whole network but there are smaller lords who still have absolute power over their domain.

This feels like an unfortunate analogy.

Sample Size of 1, but this is also the first mainline Disgaea game since discovering the series that I haven't rushed to buy on release

I think Disgaea 7 probably did pretty badly. I just noticed that it has less than 700 reviews on Steam.

Disgaea 6 has even fewer, but it's at a bit of a disadvantage since it spent a year as a switch exclusive before coming to other platforms

A Full Plankton #Moon

A night scene shows the Moon's reddish descent near the equator and waves aglow with blue bioluminescent plankton on Soneva Fushi Island, Maldives. The Moon appears red due to atmospheric scattering, while plankton emit light to deter predators.

The toot length version goes like this

🌸 Open source is a public, common resource. Anyone can contribute, and everyone benefits
🌸 That makes it a "commons", or perhaps many commons
🌸 Commons need long term organized care to sustain them. That's called governance
🌸 The governance of the open source commons has been neglected for a long time, and that burden falls on maintainers
🌸 What if we didn't do that?

This video from Corridor Crew is pretty amazing. They re-create the nearly perfect compositing from the penguin dance sequence in Mary Poppins, which was achieved using high intensity sodium vapor lights and a very custom beam splitter, instead of a blue or green screen. It truly feels like a lost art rediscovered. When the matted footage just perfectly drops in I gasped haha https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UQuIVsNzqDk

The more I read about #ATProtocol, the more I'm fascinated by it. Not so much smitten exactly, but just interested in learning more about its approach.

The way I'm interpreting it, this is how I would expect Zuck's #Metaverse to approach decentralization— limited role of, and radical standardization for servers across the federation. The protocol does all the heavy lifting.

fromjason ("fromjason.xyz 🖤") wrote:

Question for my web nerds— #BlueSky uses a global index "fire hose" and pull method for its #ATProtocol federation. It appears any server can create its own global index but of course, technically and effectively possible are two different things.

Does this approach disqualify BlueSky as "decentralized" social media or "federated"?

I'm trying to define the two terms but I'm finding it surprisingly difficult as I'd have to ignore lots of contradictions.

"One of his most effective tools is what we might call the Trump Two-Step, in which the former president says something outrageous, backs away from it in the face of criticism, and then fully embraces it. The goal here is to create a veneer of deniability. It doesn’t even need to be plausible; it just needs to muddy the waters a bit."
