Interesting, never heard 'Nikolasha' once

It's archaic, used in Peter I times. Modern one is Kolya

It’s not more painful because there’s plenty of alternatives for activitypub instances, but only one bluesky.

No, there is not. There is blacksky, northsky, eurosky. They all display the data from your PDS.

You can scale down as much as you want. You don't need to run full relay if you want to follow only a dozen of accounts. I bet you can run something like that on a raspberry pi or something similar. You will not get the search over all of the network, but that's something you don't get with your personal mastodon instances either.

So all the censor needs to do is cut off one host? And then you upload everything to different host and connect that?

Which host?

If that becomes a massive problem - host a relay with different moderation policy.

Why is that a problem if you can host relay for $50 per month as TFA mentions?

Maybe because doing that would show that there are in fact "instances" in atproto, but who knows?

I wonder why you are vagueposting here instead of stating your position firmly. Maybe because you are afraid to be shown wrong, but who knows ?

you can add netclaw to your list

To understand microsoft IA problems right now observer the parent comment. It is literally false [1] but somehow creates a whole story of Microsoft inaptitude.

The windows bloat continues unabated

This is an application that needs to be installed separately. What are you even talking about?

Somewhere in the middle of the article, I stumbled upon a multilanguage sample and noticed that this font has wonderful Cyrillic glyphs. In my previous experience with new fonts Cyrillic usually is not as great as the latin part of the font. The exception being fonts done by foundries based in cyrillic speaking countries, like ParaType fonts [1]. Well, the last third of the article goes into the details on how they achieved it.

Can you provide some links that show this clear inferiority ?

I don’t use windows, so most of this doesn’t affect me, but I do use GitHub and VSCode. Can anyone clarify, once and for all, whether “GitHub Copilot” and “VSCode Copilot” (sic?) are the same product? The documentation isn’t even clear, and it’s important because it affects billing. How do these two products interact and where do they NOT overlap?

There is no VSCode Copilot. There is Github Copilot integration inside VS Code.

And despite all the marketing to differentiate from say Meta, Bluesky has no problem scraping and feeding everyone’s posts to AI.

All BlueSky data is public. Literally anyone can scrape it and feed everyone's posts to AI.

This year, I'm betting less social media as being better and in the long-run a new protocol that learns from the mistakes.

Can you list protocol level mistakes made by ATProto?

There's everything wrong when "agentic" means that the regular bread-and-butter functionality of the OS becomes unusable

Can you provide an example of agentic functionality in Windows making regular bread-and-butter functionality become unusable?

Have you worked in those areas with high saturation ?

I’ve seen Microsoft employees run public presentations from MacBooks on multiple occasions.

This is specifically done to show that Microsoft tech eg .net is not tied to Windows.

while iOS, Android, and macOS account for the rest. Of these devices, approximately 45 percent are

Pretty much everyone has an android or iOS device in their pocket. A lot of those devices are enrolled into Microsoft MDM in order to access email/teams/etc. These phones are part of the stats. Dev work in general is done on Windows boxes, unless you are in specific teams that have other requirements. Default is Windows, specifically Windows laptop.

It's not true. Source - me, MSFT for 25 years.

Hey.com calendar has recently shipped a very nice year view

Can you clarify - are you implying that BlueSky team made protocol hard on purpose, in order to "tell regular people that they are not allowed to participate"?

The claim was > DHH has long past the point where anyone should be caring about his technical opinions.

I asked for evidence, you are replying to something else.

DHH has long past the point where anyone should be caring about his technical opinions. This is a 0 substance post.

Can you elaborate?

stop derailing the discussion...

how on earth 3 links to Github actions price increases are relevant here ?

I hope this churn in .NET builds is temporary because a lot of people might be looking to go back to something stable especially after the recent supply chain attacks on the Node ecosystem.

Can you elaborate a bit? This article talks about internal machinery of building .net releases. What does that have to do with "this churn", whatever that is?

What's stopping you from doing it now ?

Majority of actual Xbox services are working fine, xbox.com itself is busted.

Interesting to hear it was so much of a problem in terms of onboarding time. Maybe Source Depot was particularly weird, and/or MS were using it in a way that made things particularly complicated?

It was not. It was literally a fork of perforce with executable renamed to sd.exe from p4. Command line was pretty much identical.
