Hitler came to power during poor economic conditions - when people are desperate, they will allow and/or participate in great atrocities. Trump is *creating* those conditions. What will someone allow if they think it means they can feed their family or keep a roof over their head?

Could you elaborate on this? My best understanding of ATProto is that it exchanges complexity in places for different complexities in others.

Yes I know that’s exactly my point. Retrofitting activitypub or hell atproto into an existing platform with years of effort behind them is a much more productive endeavor than creating a new platform from scratch

Both gitlab and forgejo have federation in varying capacities. They aren’t perfect, but as a holistic platform they’re light years ahead of tangled which is still closer to concept art than a fully functioning platform. If energy was given to these features they’d be great much faster than tangled

Perhaps the original poster should’ve swapped the two platforms.

Just fwi to everyone, the replies here are really hypocritical. You cannot argue that you are the good guys who hope everything just works out while simultaneously calling mastodon users and activitypub horrid

Yeah someone on bluesky talking about how bluesky users are the sane ones? Give me a break. *minorities* of both groups are equally overzealous.

In sum, tangled feels like a solution in need of a problem. GitHub offers a thin social layer on top of a decentralized protocol. If GitHub is threatened, decentralized alternatives already exist. Afaik tangled has no discernible value-add over these alternatives, other than “wow atproto”.

(“wow atproto” doesn’t count. That’s what the cryptobros said. No use in being loyal to the technology. Only ask what the technology enables that others do not)

And why would you switch? GitHub has remained remarkably unconventional. Perhaps Microsoft understands how remarkably little vendor lock-in it holds.

Any developer, *today* can pickup any one of a plethora of alternatives that are just as intuitive. It’s not that hard to switch, as git is a decentralized protocol. But they don’t because switching still incurs friction, however small.

Except the decentralized protocol already had a decentralized social layer… email.
The original value-add of GitHub was not (directly) the social layer, it was the intuitiveness. That gave GitHub a critical mass. It became *the* place for development.

RYM has a pretty good database of genre "definitions" in a textual sense

That's the thing--you don't die from shame, it just keeps going until you become inured to it, then you cling to it because its all you have left.

AI applied in this specific place — using it to find signals in unstructured data — has enabled rapid advancements in medication, climate forecasting, other sciences, and delivered tangible quality of life improvements for those with disabilities.
Not everything ‘AI’ is destructive and/or slop

Propublica is a non-profit with limited resources. Instead of giving their journalists time intensive, boring, repetitive labor that is frankly below them, they used a comparatively cost effective model. By doing this, they freed the journalists to do much more productive things to society

post
This seems like…. A responsible use of AI? Nowhere in this article do they mention using AI to write articles. Rather they describe using it to rapidly signal process immense amounts of data, which is the most ideal application of AI imaginable.
If you’re entirely anti-AI, you’re anti-progress

I don’t know if he said that. But yours doesn’t even mention impeachment. OP is referring to "If the Dow drops 1,000 points in two days the President should be impeached immediately!" Which is fake. I’m not defending the lad — but we should stick to facts as a party

No he didn’t. That one was faked.

Also everyone should get a nice VPN from an European company with some sort of censorship resistance, e.g. Shadowsocks
