Crypto is still just as awful as it ever was IMO. Still plenty of assholes gambling investing in crypto.

Putting your money into it is no different than putting it into gold

Sorry kiddo, putting your money into crypto is very, very different to putting it into gold.

You’re dead right that the company isn’t worth anything in a traditional sense.

However, the existence of truth social directly contradicts your claim that they don’t want an echo chamber.

Oh sure ok. Silly me. I can’t wait to be embraced by the utopia of open standards bluesky is going to inspire.

Dude. Isn’t truth worth billions?

I guess you’re mostly right, but the exception is that they need one safe space in which to congratulate each other and wank about NFTs and what not.

Isn’t the only thing that really matters decentralised control?

Open protocols and APIs seem pretty meaningless to me if there’s a single point of control for the brand.

If everyone migrates to bluesky and then bluesky says “of we’re not doing that open thing anymore because of this new embiggened thing we’re doing” everyone will still be on bluesky.

Ooh.

Thanks.

I’ve been running the fork for a long time but somehow figured it was a soft-fork and maybe not really viable without upstream development from syncthing.

Now @[email protected] 's comments are making a lot more sense.

This whole thing is more or less a non-issue then?

It’s been forever since I looked at resilio so this may be an unfair appraisal but… I seem to remember it’s one of those OSS projects that feels a lot more like free tier commercial software. Do you think that’s the case or nah?

Honestly just a dumb rsync client would be enough for me.

God this is sad.

The parts of tech that are useful and elegant are contracting, while subscriptions and ads just get more obnoxious.

They said somewhere that the play store thing is not the reason, it’s just one of the more recent issues.

What is this alternative of which you speak?

Yeah this is pretty much how I feel.

I loathe musk, and despise twitter, and I’m happy about anything they will be unhappy about.

That said, I don’t have a lot of respect for anyone who is still there. Journalists, politicians, anyone who has to be there for their job… I still just don’t have a lot of respect for them.

A few years ago mastodon seemed to be awash with bots posting… young scantily clad anime girls.

Whether or not you find it offensive, it’s not really ideal for building a community around and it’s a shame admins just let it go.

This is just plain untrue.

In all cases you need to drive to the conditions. Observe your circumstances and adapt your behavior accordingly.

3s is a good yard stick, but there’s plenty of situations in which it is not the ideal safe distance.

At 110km/h that’s about 90 metres. Every idiot around is going to try to move around you to take up that spot. Being overtaken by idiots is unsafe. This is just one example, there’s plenty of others.

It depends.

On a well developed well maintained “freeway” with multiple lanes, shoulders for break downs, gentle curves, et cetera it’s common. 3 car lengths is more common here I think.

That said, on a “highway” (interstate?) without everything listed above I aim for 2 seconds, which is about 60 metres at highway speed.

I used to think that but honestly now I avoid it where I can. Like between a wall and cornice a sash brush is fine. Removing switches like like fittings and switches is better than taping too.

Someone will be asking in a moment to tell us that this is shitpost community, some people are too uptight, that its dark humour, and that we should just block the community if we don’t like it.

Only a child can find things like rape and suicide funny, because they lack the emotional depth to understand the ramifications of these concepts.

If you’re “hosting a tracker” you want an IP you can change as often as you like.

If you’re hosting a website you want an IP that never changes.

IPv6 is free and IPv4 is very cheap.

Even in the extraordinarily unlikely circumstance they really are hosting both on the same infrastructure, they aren’t going to use the same IP.

Why the fuck do these exist? 💁‍♂️
