  • Just answer me this one simple question, why would Bluesky meaningfully decentralize when that threatens all of the most lucrative funding models for their product?

    More importantly why should I trust the company Bluesky just because of positive anecdotes and descriptions about employees who can be replaced with a flick of a finger?

    Until they decentralize meaningfully, this is just marketing people describing phantoms in the sky.

    ah, so “vark” is much like “dog” in english when it is used in animal names like “prairie dog”!

    thanks for explaining!

    I was gonna say “pig-wolf” sounds kind of goofy but it is actually pretty precise in behavioral desciption then isn’t it?




  • paywall, but is it accurate to call this event “anti-Israel”?

    This isn’t about being against Israel or on some other team than the jews living in Israel. This isn’t about getting rid of Israel (whatever horror that could entail).

    This is about stopping a genocide and treating human beings like human beings.

    That is it.

    This is not about being anti-Israel.

    The protest movement is about specifically being against violent over simplification of other groups so summarizing these events as “anti” any one thing other than anti-violence or anti-xenophobic is disengenuous to the overwhelming majority of people participating.







  • Precisely, I hate Trump and I don’t use the word “hate” lightly here, I reserve it only for people who hurt, kill and maim others en masse with their use of power.

    I will resist people like Trump, JD Vance, Steve Bannon, rightwing fascists and most pathetic of all, the grovelling bro-ligarchs…till the day I die.

    …but this…this is scary, step away from this ledge of playing a part in silencing discussion on the unimaginable attrocity of the Palestinian Genocide as we in the international community (including US) are just now starting to see the full extent of the horror.

    People will hopefully write books about this for the rest of our lives, we will all have a much greater chance of actually embodying the kindness and integrity we hope to embody if we begin to have a serious, difficult conversation NOW or we risk losing ourselves to the slow creep (until it isn’t) of hate and oblivion.
