Btw.
First: you'd probably be shocked how many pedos have zero opsec and just post shit/upload shit in the plain.
By which I mean most of them, because those pieces of crap don't know shit about shit and don't encrypt anything and just assume crap is private.
And second, yeah, I'll catch kids generating CSAM, but it'll catch everyone else too, so that's probably a fair trade.
Install it and use it?
Their PDS is self hosted, but it does still rely on the central relays (though you COULD host that yourself if you wanted to pay for it, I suppose?).
It's very centralized, but it's not that different from what you'd have to do to make Mastodon useful: a small/single user instance will get zero content, even if you follow a lot of people, without also adding several relays to work around some of the design decisions made by the Mastodon team regarding replies and how federation works for those kind of things, as well as to populate hashtags and searches and such.
Though really you shouldn't do any of that, and just use a good platform for discussion, like a forum or a threadiverse platform. (No seriously, absolutely hate "microblog" shit because it's designed to just be zingers and hot takes and not actual meaningful conversations.)
15 million Series A financing
Maybe shitty corporate search engines are failing me, but has there been a stated valuation for Bluesky? Googling 'Bluesky valuation" or any combination thereof is a problem since that's a business term so lol, lmao, search engine worthless.
$8m seed + $15m A series may be a shockingly small amount of equity, or it could be the whole damn company but I'm just not seeing it actually posted anywhere.
I gather that's a meme that's older than you are?
By linux ISOs I meant any content you're torrenting: movies, software, audio, my little pony porn, whatever.
Frankly, it probably means absolutely nothing.
Even when captain coffee cup was the FCC chairman, did you lose the ability to torrent linux isos? Did usenet stop working?
I wouldn't expect anything different this time, either.
Sounds good to me?
That's a wee revisionist: Zen/Zen+/Zen2 were not especially performant and Intel still ran circles around them with Coffee Lake chips, though in fairness that was probably because Zen forced them to stuff more cores on them.
Zen3 and newer, though, yeah, Intel has been firmly in 2nd place or 1st place with asterisks.
But the last 18 months has them fucking up in such a way that if you told me that they were doing it on purpose, I wouldn't really doubt it.
It's not so much failing to execute well-conceived plans as it was shipping meltingly hot, sub-par performing chips that turned out to self-immolate, combined with also giving up on being their own fab, and THEN torching the relationship with TSMC before you launched your first products they're fabbing.
You could write the story as a malicious evil CEO wanting to destroy the company and it'd read much the same as what's actually happening (not that I think Patty G is doing that, mind you) right now.
Amazing what happens when your primary competitor spends 18 months stepping on every rake they can find.
And, then, having run out of rakes, they then deeply invest in a rake factory so they can keep right on stepping on them.
This'll probably be a lot more interesting a year from now, given that the product lines for the next ~9 months or so are out and uh, well.....
Yeah, it doesn't appear that PSSR (which I cannot help but pronounce with an added i) is the highest quality upscaling out there, combined with console gamers not having experienced FSR/FSR2/FSR3's uh, specialness is leading to people being confused why their faster console looks worse.
Hopefully Sony does something about the less than stellar quality in a PSSR2 or something relatively quickly, or they're going to burn a lot of goodwill around the whole concept, much like how FSR is pretty much considered pretty trash by PC gamers.
Two thoughts come to mind:
- If it's there and you aren't having it shoved down your throat, then that's still a VAST improvement over Twitter, which has gone from shitty social media to blatant hate indoctrination platform.
and
- Did you just now discover that most people are shitty? I always assumed most people figured that out at 13 or 14.
For me, it's full text search.
I tend to want to find an opinion on something very specific, so if I can just toss a phrase or model number or name of something into a search field and get actual non-AI, non-advertisement, non-stupid-shit results, that'd be absolutely ideal.
Like, say, how Google worked 15 years ago.
