No, I tried, they don’t comply, and tell you to make a complaint to your DPA and the Irish DPA or go to court if you have a problem with that.

I think it’s something to do with it being or not being the largest discount in the last X days (maybe 90 days? I’m not sure)

If

Anyways, so yes, you are a bigot, thanks for confirming

Of course it’s in the eyes of the beholder, like anything is, but from the reaction of others, it seems like most people in this thread agree with me or have a similar viewpoint, so I think it’s worth considering why people had that impression. If it’s not your views coming out or your intention, fix what was pointed out and there’s that.

they are on a mission to impose their views on anyone who disagrees with them. What a sad way to go through life.

Nevertheless, I don’t know about you but this doesn’t look like a joke, nor does your initial comment, as it seems you’re taking what you said quite seriously, I don’t see why you’d say that if you weren’t.

But anyways, bigoted jokes are just that: bigoted. Not that great of a defence. Nobody has a problem against “joking around”, it’s more about what your comment was full of.

Well there’s Ladybird which is open source and uses its own browser engine. Can’t seem to remember or find the other one though, but this one is more mature iirc

Impose their views on people who disagree with them? Damn that’s crazy, people want others to treat people with respect and not be bigoted? How political

Yes, you can run a PDS, but while it might be true that you can self-host a relay with a couple thousand people (I didn’t find anything about this in that blog post but I don’t see why you couldn’t), using a limited relay like that would mean this would not be a full/real instance of Bluesky (unless you disconnect from the rest of the network, but then why even bother)

So let’s examine the problems with relays here:

After recent growth, our out-of-box relay implementation (bigsky) requires on the order of 16 TBytes of fast NVMe disk, and that will grow proportional to content in the network.

In July this was “only” about 1TB, in mid November around 5TB, and now 16TB? That’s insane growth if you want to self-host that, and will get expensive really fast really quickly, especially since fast storage is important here. I don’t think many individuals have the resources to self host this just for themselves.

Another critical problem is that when more people self-host relays this has the wonderful side-effect of increasing the necessary computation power and network use, because Bluesky scales O(n^2 ) , which is really bad if you want anything close to a decentralized network.

So yes, it is true that it scales down terribly, this is by design. It’s a step up from Twitter, because this time multiple corporations can control it instead of one, but it isn’t that good either.

Outer Wilds, it has exactly everything I love. I wish I could play it again for the first time, though being unable to do that is one of the reasons I love it

I highly recommend it, it’s great, just don’t spoil yourself by watching things, even the trailers honestly

Maybe it’s just a popular opinion on here, so when people click on the thread and see their opinions being mentioned they don’t add more comments saying the same stuff as there’s no point.

But then when they see someone else say something that differs from their own opinions, it’s not unlikely that people tend to reply more to try and express themselves if they feel their opinions are no longer in the majority.

Well, it’s a neopronoun, so while it’s popular enough for most people to understand what it means, in my experience “iel” sadly gets a lot of pushback (“oh but we don’t do that in French” etc.) which means it’s rarely used in contexts other than to refer to non-binary people who have expressed a preference for “iel”.

I use an app called Moshidon, it’s a fork of (a fork of) the official app, it’s quite nice

Indeed why dating?

I completely switched to Mastodon and here, I’d rather not use platforms that are locked down by corporations and will inevitably enshittify without leaving me a simple way to migrate

Yeah, you subscribe to hashtags to start, find people you agree with/find interesting, follow them, and then as they boost stuff you’ll find more and more people to follow.

Really mods, banning someone for doxing a Nazi? Even though you’re on .world I’d have expected better, I understand that you guys have rules but like…

but what if this comment radicalizes men!?! I think you probably should add at least 10x more “not all men” disclaimers than actual text just to make sure not to push them into advocating against basic human rights /s

It does work though?

For example Duralex, a famous French glass tableware/kitchenware manufacturer, started transitioning to a worker cooperative in July of this year. This is a company that has like 25 million euros in revenue per year (2023), so I don’t think we can consider it “small”.

This was approved by the Commercial Court of Orléans fyi and I don’t think they’d have done that if it “can’t work in the real world”.

They’re not necessarily the same, there’s two major differences between them physiologicaly:

1. Asexual people date others unless they are also aromantic (well aromantic people also can date but it’s less common)
2. Some asexual people can and do have sex
