... Didn't they revoke the Minecraft licenses people purchased because they didn't manage to migrate their Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts in a short amount of time?

Ironically, I find myself writing more code when CI is broken and I don't have to babysit it.

Hot take: Clean up your darn imports. Otherwise you just make the links between modules confusing and messy.

Probably more quiet. Autism is (as I see it and in my own experience) about overstimulation. Not being autistic would probably feel like things weren't as "loud" or attention grabby.

Worth noting that .zip blocks UK users (although I can't really blame them. The situation sucks). Content is still visible through other instances (or over a vpn), but the "canonical" source will be unreachable in the uk.

It still looks like you're relying on IP addresses, which means if you want to host a Plebbit server (sorry, "always on peer") you need one of the following:

  • Use a hosting provider, which is something you want to avoid according to your pitch.
  • Serve it from your own personal network under your own IP. Given that you're worried about censorship from even the DNS system, I imagine this is something you absolutely don't want to do.

Imagine Bob is hosting a community about cat pictures, and I want to send him a picture of my cat to forward to other followers of that community.

How do I:

  • Locate bob given a name or some other ID
  • Verify that it is indeed Bob (and not someone pretending to be Bob)
  • Prove to Bob that I am indeed who I say I am
  • Send that cat picture without anyone in the middle snooping on it

All of this in a political environment that bans the sharing of cat pictures.

With Plebbit there’s no global admins like Reddit, so you fully own your community and nobody can take it away from you.

I mean, that's true of Lemmy and any other message board type system based on ActivityPub and ATProto. From a technical standpoint, there is no central authority on them.

My question is... What does this do that ActivityPub and ATProto doesn't do? That's the angle you should approach this from (and be ready to defend... People on Lemmy seem adamant that ActivityPub is perfect and unbeatable...). We're technical people here, sell it as a technical solution to a problem rather than using buzzwords or comparing it to Bitcoin.

You've mentioned serverless many times, but ultimately I need to send content somewhere and ask someone to send me content. I can't just throw my posts into the wind and expect someone else to get them. So how do I make a post if not by sending it to a trusted person?

How the times have turned.

Granted. It's... Fine. It's a fairly serviceable sandwich. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing particularly earthbreaking.

You are filled with a sense of regret. Disappointment, even. You were hoping for more, even if it was just an interesting story. But no, you spent one of your limited wishes on just a sandwich.

Does anyone know how to actually take a break at that point? Like, I know as a rational person that I shouldn't push myself to burnout due to anxiety. But I don't know how to stop my brain hyper-focusing on it. ;_:
