idk i think if a thing is still around then there cannot be "legacy" by definition you should say "influence" or smth

considering that it's still around 😭
I am going to keep using it right until it fully shuts down personally

Once again tapping the sign (the editorial by his uncle pointing out that his whole family is refugees and he's a piece of shit)

That would need a full on Iraq type ground invasion and occupation imo. which isn't happening (for now 🌚)

And again, I initially thought you were referring to all military action against Iran and not just the one American strike. Since it's the latter, my objection is rather wrt the effectiveness of this single American strike at preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon

Not in a million years would Israel do something like airstrike Iran directly without first clearing it with the US

My general feelings on this are best summarized by the following image

and that has absolutely inflicted casualties. Also, I highly doubt a single airstrike has "eliminated all Iranian nuclear capabilities", despite what trump may claim. The iranians themselves say the facilities are not critically damaged.

Sorry, I thought your statement was about the war in general, not just the one American sortie. It did not begin with the American strikes. There has been a wide ranging bombing campaign by the Israelis to weaken Iranian air defenses (without which the US would not have joined in),

"without casualties" is doing rather a lot of work there

hm maybe there should be a wiki page for posts/articles comparing bsky to other protocols

Actually it's really cool and good when site rules apply to everyone regardless of blue checkmark status

Yeah looked it up in the dictionary and the closest equivalent English term is "fly by night company"

From what I hear the Chinese tech industry has solved this fairly elegantly - nost chinese apps have seamless payments/transfers built in.
Their solution is having a government that is not beholden to a rent seeking financial sector that wants a cut of every transaction 🥲

iirc bluesky's reply ranking algorithm is actually based on Lemmy's

btw are you still working on the app for describing other apps? I remember you had a draft of the prospective lexicon at some point
comment in response to

Huh I thought the term one day businesses heavily implied fraud or other white collar crime. Similar to "shell company". Is there another meaning?

No, klearsky shows links to other collections (e.g. whitewind) in the repo. But only for a couple lexicons iirc
comment in response to
post
Some bsky clients do attempt it tho. For example klearsky.pages.dev has an "atmosphere" subsection when looking at someone's profile. But it doesn't cover everything
comment in response to
post
Afaict this would require some foreknowledge of the records in question, and there is no unified repository of atproto lexicons.
And simply listing everything might get you a lot of junk, some apps are really uhh generous with creating new record types

is there an official list of these labelers anywhere?

what was the rationale for making the did a hash substring instead of a pubkey?

the ur example is ernest hemingway i think

Why not some kind of proof-of-work requirement for sign up? It could be pretty heavy since the user would only ever have to do it once.

i just want to say i am so tired of megan mcardle (who wrote the wapo piece linked in the article)

Yeah that's what I meant sorry. It's kinda like how it's established fact that the US gov funded the mujahideen that grew into al qaeda but "bush did 9/11" is still a conspiracy theory.
comment in response to

this fact is very easy to google with lots of mainstream sources

Afaict the service is based on the chatgpt api, so there is still vc funding involved. even if not directly

shoutout to @skychat.bsky.social imo still the best thread reading experience of all the clients (loads the full tree right away, lets you easily collapse branches)

yeah i mostly use it for the opposite
comment in response to

yeah this is running through my mind constantly when i interact with people it's not great

could probably be done with a combination labeler service+modified client that could store and display a scalar field in label objects
