Hey mods, you can do the funniest thing right now:

Isn’t Le Pen dead? Edit: Wrong Le Pen

One thing that would immediately kill the people smuggling industry is allowing people to claim asylum in Calias, but they’ll never do that.

Interior Minister Yvette Cooper

She’s home secretary, Britain doesn’t have an interior minister?

Etherium actually transitioned to proof-of-stake? Last I heard it was something they were planning to but it was being delayed for years. Good for them for actually doing it, I still don’t trust the technology and refuse to use anything that integrates it, but at least it’s not so actively destructive.

Holiday?

DNS is not the future, crypto is the future.

There are other alternatives to DNS that don’t require you to boil the oceans, e.g. GNUnet has their own thing.

In our clients, we will decentralize this curation via gasless pubsub voting by token holders. There’s no other way to decentralize it, so this is another thing that crypto excels at (DAOs).

This isn’t decentralising the whitelist/default subs, it’s shareholder-ising. It’s also just recreating the notion of admins in ActivityPub, or replay controllers in notstr. You still have a set of privileged users able to make decisions for others, albeit less privileged than AP admins.

As the FAQ says, the base protocol doesn’t use tokens.

I don’t care what the protocol technically makes feasible, people don’t use protocols they use software that interprets protocols. ActivityPub doesn’t actually require DNS, but you (correctly) say it does because there’s no software out there people will use that doesn’t require DNS. The point is you still tied human readable names to the blockchain, something absolutely not optional for social media software. No one is going to be like “you should sub to p/nrlaoii2nsl2, the memes are 🔥”.

NFT profile pics tied to a user’s plebbit account, because we whitelist the specific NFT collections to prevent NSFW profile pics

Who is “we” here and why do they get to decide what’s acceptable in my community (‘subpleb’ if you will)?

From the FAQ linked on the site:

Q: Is this running on ETH? A: the token is on ETH, the plebbit protocol itself it not a blockchain, but the app will use several blockchains, tokens and NFTs to recreate all the features from reddit, like usernames, subplebbit names will be crypto domains like ENS (and other chains), awards will be NFTs, tips and upvotes will earn tokens (can set them to your own token or any coin of your choice in your subplebbit)
[…]
Q: What role does the PLEB token play? A: The base protocol doesn’t use tokens, which lets people who don’t have interest in cryptocurrency (yet) use it for free, but optionally you can use any tokens to do many things, for example you can use names.eth (ENS, which are non fungible tokens) to represent a username or subplebbit name. You can use NFT images as avatars. You can use fungible tokens and NFTs (any token or cryptocurreny of the subplebbit owner’s choice) to vote, curate, reward, tip, incentivize and/or as spam protection (instead of using captchas, require users of your subplebbit to own, stake, burn or pay a certain amount of a token/NFT of your choice to post/upvote). A subplebbit’s name like memes.eth (becomes /p/memes.eth) could be owned by a DAO, and owners of the DAO’s tokens could vote on chain for who gets to be admin and moderator of the subplebbit, i.e. a smart contract/DAO can be owner of a subplebbit.

This sounds fucking awful. You want a peer-to-peer network, but decided to tie critical features to the blockchain, something arguably less decentralised than APub software.

I thought Ukraine celebrated Orthodox Christmas, but turns out this was changed last year.

It seems the bridge didn’t see the reply. Might be something worth making a bug report about. (Also, ignore the update profile entry, I clicked the icon by accident)

Your reply is there? Did it just take a while to go through?

Screaming at my single-threaded, synchronous web scraper “Why are you so slow, I have a 4090!”

Why would an RTX 4090 make Python faster?

At this rate, the closest thing to a new Disco Elysium we’re getting is the book on all these disputes.

Been playing quire a bit of the new Dragon Age. I normally don’t play games close to release, and I’ve never played a DA game before, but I watched a review and it seemed like something I was in the mood for. Been enjoying it quire a bit, more than I expected. I just really need to do something about my thermals.

“Dumb moves” seems to be he theme of Microsoft lately.

What do you mean by handwriting features? I’ve played around with Write a bit and it has some cool features (I really like the ability to make a series of stokes a link) but I wouldn’t call them handwriting features.

handwriting app that works on a lot of platforms including Linux which cannot be said about most handwritten note-taking applications

To be fair, we have it quite good in this regard between Xournalpp and Rnote. Certainly areas where we only have worse options.

The only Muslim group mentioned is hardly left-wing:

Another decree targeted a group called Jonas Paris, which it said claims to support France’s Muslim community but instead promotes violence, hate and discrimination toward non-Muslims, women and LGBTQ+ people.

Also, the antisemitism talked about in the article is genuine hatred of Jewish people, not just anti-Israel rhetoric.
