- Comment on Apparently Bluesky lets you require a sign in to view a post 3 days ago:
Bluesky was started by the same guy who started Twitter, and is only federated in concept.
He didn’t really start Bluesky; he started the exploring the Bluesky protocol as a research initiative while at Twitter to try and explore how to make Twitter decentralized. Jay Graber was hired as the CEO and incorporated it as an independent company.

that’s what quiet public is; it removes it from discovery and global feeds.

This was added when they opened up to the public as a compromise to users. You can set it per account in privacy proof settings (I personally do it so anti trans people can’t scrape my posts)
Apps implementing the API don’t always have to follow it, though. (They even say this when you set the option)

- Comment on TIL it's impossible to delete a free trial account for AppleTv+ or Apple Music without an Apple Device 3 weeks ago:
Do you mean cancel the subscription before it’s up? You should be able to do it in the Windows Apple Music or Apple TV apps under your account settings (it’s listed under subscriptions); I just did it the other month.
Warning; if you cancel your trial it ends immediately, not at the end of the term, so I just set a to do reminder for the day before.
