Dan is constantly talking about buyout requests he’s receiving for Loops and Pixelfed, so much so that it makes me a bit suspicious of those claims. Nearly every other post I see from his Mastodon feed is bragging about another alleged buyout offer, and how he’s not for sale.
Has he ever shown proof of any of these offers he’s received? It’s not that I want to doubt him, but he’s been very persistent with this claim and I think it’s fair to scrutinize it at this point.
It’s not really “rigged”. Most people don’t have any use for that much outgoing bandwidth because they’re not uploading that much data. They’re usually downloading a lot more, though, so it makes sense to prioritize the bandwidth based on how people will actually use it. It’s more than sufficient for HD video calls, which is probably the most upload-intensive task your average user is going to conduct. Giving your entire neighborhood gigabit upload speeds is a waste of resources, unless your entire neighborhood is running media servers from home.
You’re still getting the bandwidth you’re paying for, it’s just not balanced in a way that suits your fringe use-case. Your ISP very likely has options that rebalance that bandwidth prioritization if you actually need and will use more upload bandwidth, but those are typically going to be business accounts.
Also not sure what this has to do with the Fediverse.
Looks like the Reddit post was already removed.
How does that person think ATProto would prevent monopolization? ATProto is effectively controlled by a singular corporate entity. It already is a monopolized protocol.
Bluesky says they created ATProto because account portability is a problem on ActivityPub - which it 100% is. But account porting is something that’s still being worked on for ActivityPub. If Bluesky actually cared about a decentralized platform, they would have contributed toward ActivityPub’s development by helping to create the account porting tools. Instead, they created a new network that they own and control, and have gaslit their users into believing is “decentralized”.
NA here. It’s loading perfectly fine for me right now on the desktop site. Pages I’ve never opened before are loading in like 1/10th of a second for me.
I’m also not signed in from this computer, though (can’t remember my LW password and haven’t bothered to check). Not sure if that’s making any difference, but figured I’d provide my perspective from a logged-out user.
Check out The Finals! It has a lot of similar movement abilities. The maps are designed with verticality and fast traversal in mind, so it may scratch that itch for you.
I meant the Loops side of things, my bad.
Dansup is walking, most of everyone else is talking.
Isn’t that because Dan hasn’t open-sourced his project yet and doesn’t let anybody else contribute?
I’ve gotten some odd vibes from him (his recent posts hyping up Loops and Pixelfed have slightly manic energy to them), but I’m curious what you find weird about him.
We’ve been saying that since 2015.
“stealing” a digital copy of a movie, tv show or a game is like if the item you’re stealing from a store is infinitely copyable.
What if it’s a physical Blu-ray? Those are infinitely copyable.
I’m sure he’ll read it.
Sure, but Xenoblade isn’t about Japanese historical events. It’s a little too on-the-nose with Assassin’s Creed.
It took a year and a half to develop an “undo” feature? WTF is happening at Google?
But it does have a shortage of content. So there’s a trade-off.
It’s poorly written. The writer is all over the place. The article starts and ends with discussion about a video series from 2004 which is in no way related to the main story, the primary source is a paywalled article in Italian that we can only hope they’re translating accurately, the very first paragraph seems to suggest that there’s no proof to anything else specified in the rest of the article and immediately contradicts the headline… I feel like I learned nothing and wasted time by reading this.
ARE there actually honeypot sites being set up by Italian police? I don’t know, and apparently neither does the author.
his money has come from no oppression or cheap labor or dirty money, or slavery or anything else.
It came from loot crates.
Okay, this “$1 trillion” metric is a bit of a reach, and seems to be based on an arbitrary value assigned to an estimated amount of data Google has collected, and not actually $1,000,000,000,000 in revenue. It does not appear that Google has actually made a trillion dollars from CAPTCHA data.
