You don’t hear the road names when your GPS tells you where to turn? I’m shocked by how many people are unfamiliar with major roads in their city. I’ve met people who couldn’t even tell me what crossroads they lived at. To me, part of learning to drive meant making a note of the road names near me so I was familiar with locations based on road names.

I’m not old either, I’m in my early 20s.

I think the idea of the government banning entire websites (or really any information in general) is horrifying. The fact that so many people in America seem to be enthusiastic or at least indifferent to new forms of government censorship shows how far along we are to complete fascism. Information is meant to be free, regardless of whether you agree with it or not. The fact that’s we’re having these conversations is disgusting.

Great! There’s plenty of precedent for floating nuclear reactors. Just look at any modern aircraft carrier or navy submarine. The US Navy operates hundreds of nuclear reactors at sea with a perfect safety record.

We already have floating nuclear power plants and we’ve never had an issue with one (in the US at least). Look at any modern aircraft carrier or naval submarine. Many of them are able to be connected to shore and power nearby buildings in emergencies.

Your immune system probably built up a larger tolerance to the bacteria in raw milk after consuming it for years.

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but servers cost money. Developers cost money. Bandwidth costs money. If you want to run a reasonably successful social media company, you need money.

Bundling domain registration (already a thing) with custom usernames (already a thing) and taking a profit from that transaction is not enshittification. Enshittification would be if they took away the ability to link your own domain and required everyone to buy domains through Bluesky. This would just be giving less savvy users the ability to link a domain to their username without having to learn DNS.

From what I can gather, they aren’t selling the ability to link custom domains as your user handle. They are acting as a domain registrar to allow users to buy domains and link them to their handle in one step, then likely skimming some profits off the top. Imagine they sell a “custom username with domain” for $20 per year, they pay the wholesale fee (around $9 for a .com) and pocket the rest. That seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Is Bluesky prone to enshittification? I don’t know much about the AT protocol, but it seems like it works relatively similar to ActivityPub. Is it open source?

My state doesn’t do daylight savings, so I get to avoid these useless shenanigans twice a year

Judge him all you want but he tells it like it is

Half-Life 2

I’m too young to have played the original as a kid, but I have fond memories of coming home from school to play HL2 on my shitty laptop.

That and they fucked up the menu so they’re pushing premade sandwiches over the “build your own” model they’ve had for years. I used to go to subway because I knew exactly what I wanted and asked for it, now their menu is unrecognizable.

You don’t need a contract. In the United States, anyone can sue anyone for anything. No laws need to have been broken nor contracts breached.

It’s not illegal in the US either, but you can still be sued by employers for doing it.

This is such a poor attempt at trolling. Don’t you have better things to do?

It is simpler when you’re doing stuff on the web and/or need to scale.

Compared to MinIO, it has more storage backend flexibility, cross-region replication is easy, it is resilient to less-than-ideal network conditions between nodes. Did you bother reading the website?

I’m not sure why your immediate reaction to having more options is negative.

Update the drivers on windows and see if the latest version supports it

Or

Install WSL or a VM and pass the device through to linux, let the kernel find it and activate the drivers, configure the network, then set up routes to share that connection with the host.

Set up a cheap VPS on DigitalOcean or the like, and run a Tailscale exit node. Put Tailscale on your devices at home (or get a 2nd router that allows you to run Tailscale on it) and join them to the same Tailnet. That’s the easiest way to accomplish this without getting too far into the weeds.
