I get what you’re saying, but I’m not sure greedy pigboy is doing that. Everything changes.
It won’t be what it was, and the grift will grow be off the charts, but I think it will evolve into a mix of what it was and grifters grifting. Just delineated by subreddit.
It’s not often I laugh aloud at a meme, and rarer that I do so loudly. Excellent. 😄
"I don’t like it…
It’s a simple heuristic that works in almost every situation.
You don’t know what value something you don’t like provides to others.
I did a search here before posting, so thought it was a new issue. Then later remembered I had my view set to 1 day… 🤦🏻♂️
The “What’s New” link to the GitHub repo? I see now it’s mentioned as a fix in the most recent version. 👍🏻
I’d wondered if that might be it, thanks.
I know the developer is active here, so thought it night be a good opportunity for them to address it ahead of more questions. 😊
The algorithmic feed and the low barrier to entry, including UX familiarity.
Aside from the headache of understanding what instances are and choosing one, and finding a decent mobile client, a lot of people care about unique usernames - especially those in the business/professional sphere.
I see their point, when @trustedname@genuine-instance can have all their effort and goodwill destroyed in a day by @trustedname@malicious-instance. While the Verification option exists, more needs to be done in ActivityPub and client developer guidelines to prevent or intuitively mitigate this kind of impersonation. But mentioning such shortcomings get sneered at or waved away, which keeps serious well-meaning people away.
Why would they go through that hassle when Bluesky’s shortcomings are ideological and potential future direction?
Now do January 2025.
The IRL version of the used car salesman meme: “(Slaps roof) We can fit so many months inside this bad boy…”
Can’t escape Cory Doctorow’s observation that the internet is “five giant websites, each filled with screenshots of text from the other four”.
We may be away from those 5 sites, but the behaviours and content from them is very much here.
I’ve worked with both in my career. Tell me more…
Email? So its just encrypted SMS?
Might come down to the metadata, then, like SFTP vs FTPES or GET vs POST.
I’ve been with them for 6 years and haven’t looked back.
Your original question was answered by numerous people in the spirit of the community, so you have got best answers it can provide at the moment, but your follow-up comments suggest that you don’t think so.
But I may have misjudged your intent, as looking further I can see you’ve been replying to comments individually. My initial impression was that you were masquerading statements as questions. If I have that wrong, then my apologies.
Yes, but what’s your point here? “Oh no, someone preserve us from… *checks notes* a group of subject matter experts!”?
If that annoys you for some reason, you’d best not learn how the overwhelming majority of products and services see the light of day. Rage aplenty awaits.
Have you seen the list of safety features on UK plugs and sockets? The sockets have shutters in them that prevents anything being inserted into the live or neutral sockets unless the (longer) earth pin of a matching plug is inserted first.
Having said that, I agree: seems to be a belt-and-braces approach. No downsides.
And it allows you to cut power to an appliance without having to remove the plug.
Safety and convenience versus the cost of including them, I expect.
The Wikipedia page for BS 1363 says they’re optional and weren’t added to the standard until 1967. I can’t recall having seen a domestic socket without one.
But it seems the only legal way to read the actual standard is to pay for it, and even the HSE website isn’t much help.
lol… no. There’s a difference between Approximate and Precise location information: 3 sq.km vs 3m. Think suburb vs room.
With location services enabled, you’re providing the latter.
It’s a pretty common and wildly successful marketing strategy to put something on social media with one or more intentional errors to force everyone’s inner Reply Guy to fight the urge to do the thing.
But it also works with unintentional errors. My less well-thought-out replies attract responses like flies. 😄
Whether it indicates the success of your thesis or not depends on how you measure it, I suppose.
“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good” is a valid strategy.
Every serious person in law enforcement, who doesn’t have an agenda, acknowledges that the old fashioned policing methods make all of this redundant.
It just takes longer (and so costs money), which is what this is about.
These people would destroy the security of the world’s protocols just to save a few quid. It’s deplorable.
