Bluesky also has no algorithm in its “followed” feed. Any algorithm is opt-in.

Yeah that would make sense.

One is the title of the book, the other is the words he wrote on the shell casing.

Let’s not limit ourselves here. The Koch Bros are killing lots of people too.

I sure the fuck wouldn’t want to fight a giant crab. I just don’t think they could build an interstellar space ship, that’s all.
- Comment on don't be a coward 3 weeks ago:
I doubt crabs could make it as an intelligent interplanetary species. I mean claws are cool and all, but really tough to use tools with.

Looking and doing are two different things, but I’m sure this will increase too. I left under Bush after the 2000 financial crisis and have no regrets.

It’s more like a better Twitter
Mastodon is missing a lot of the quality of life features of Bluesky.
- Good user verification
- Add lists
- Block lists
- Subscribable topic feeds
- Configurable algorithms
These things make Bluesky very easy to get started with and more powerful even than Xitter was. It’s simply a better product if you have any requirements other than federation. Getting a good feed up and running doesn’t take more than an hour or two. It’s basically possible now on Twitter and it’s very difficult on Mastodon.

It just gives you a checkmark, nothing else AFAIK.

You put a snippet of code on your website.

This is the real issue. The same volume is totally different on different devices. If they want to implement this feature correctly they need to measure the actual output of the headphones.
- Comment on The Right Has a Bluesky Problem 3 weeks ago:
Bluesky has some very powerful features here like auto updating block lists which you can subscribe to and which will automatically remove trolls for you. And they are policing hate speech and harassment.
- Comment on The Right Has a Bluesky Problem 3 weeks ago:
I use both and Mastodon is missing a lot of the quality of life features of Bluesky.
- Good user verification
- Add lists
- Block lists
- Subscribable topic feeds
- Configurable algorithms

I wish it were otherwise, but that’s just the way it is.
- Comment on The Right Has a Bluesky Problem 3 weeks ago:
Except the walk is happening. Bluesky feels way more thriving to me than Xitter already.
- Comment on Apple Explains Why 256GB Storage Is Better 4 weeks ago:
If you run one application and no browser you can make 16gb work. Or if you don’t mind constant bogging I guess you can use 8gb, but to me at that point you don’t really have a usable computer any more.
- Comment on Apple Explains Why 256GB Storage Is Better 4 weeks ago:
Yes they did but that’s only because now 16gb is equally as bad an experience as 8gb used to be due to the ram needs of their new AI chip.
- Comment on Apple Explains Why 256GB Storage Is Better 4 weeks ago:
Compare the experience on that with any Mac (even an old intel one) with 64gb and you will understand instantly how important it is.
- Comment on Apple Explains Why 256GB Storage Is Better 4 weeks ago:
I upgraded my 2018 Mac mini to 64 GB and realized that all my performance problems immediately disappeared. Everything is instant. CPU and GPU are totally meaningless for my use case, but RAM is massively important.
I don’t do anything fancy, just kind of standard home office stuff- photos, music, email, Evernote, OneNote, etc. But I have large databases in each. I use up most of a 3TB RAID. I regularly cross the 32gb threshold in memory use.
I could get by with 32gb if I wouldn’t mind tolerating some throttling, but 8-16gb is off the table entirely. Even my little 16 gb macbook I just use to screw around on while I watch tv can’t keep up with just doing email, some text editors and browsers without bogging, sometimes massively.
It’s getting to the point where Macs are just becoming unusable due to this nonsense, and I’ve never been more motivated to leave the platform. I can’t pay $3000 for every computer or just live with bog slow computers.

Try living in a small country, there’s tons of stuff like that.
- Comment on Apple Explains Why 256GB Storage Is Better 4 weeks ago:
It is in the sense that now external storage can be as fast as internal storage, so you can just upgrade with external drives and not pay the 1000%+ markup that Apple charges for storage and RAM.

It won’t be long before the internet is just bots talking to each other and advertisers paying them to do so.

I vividly remember the Digg migration and Reddit is so very much like Digg these days.
