Yeah, the market is flooded with cheap VR headsets with eye and hand tracking! Stupid Apple! /s

Asahi is a Linux distro for M-series Macs.

I love her. Can’t wait to pull on her banner

No more phantoms. I hate those things.

This is from a week ago…

Alan Wake

CS2 is Counter Strike 2. Cities: Skylines 2 is C:S2

I was not making a purity test, just stating my opinion on a worrying trend of vegans making actual purity tests by decreeing cross contamination as something all vegans should care about.

Making food more easily accesible to people with allergies is a worthwhile goal, but it has nothing to do with veganism.

I find vegans that care about cross contamination to be missing the forest for the trees. Veganism isn’t an allergy, it’s an ethical stance. How are animals harmed by having our food made in the same facilities as non-vegan food? Even PETA says you shouldn’t care about trace amounts of animal products when eating out so as not to make veganism seem difficult and inflexible to non-vegans thinking of making the switch.

This is great! Account portability is one of the biggest reasons BlueSky gave for developing ATProto instead of using ActivityPub. This could be a way of getting them to switch to the standard and expand the fediverse in the process.

Strange New Worlds

Star Trek TNG meets Honkai Star Rail. That actually works pretty well, gonna spend all my jades pulling for Picard!

Not in Utica, no. It’s all Albany expression.

Not entirely sure what you mean by that. It deletes posts in the same way that any other ActivityPub server does, by federating the deletion request.

It’s up to the receiving servers to handle that request and delete the post. You can easily have an ActivityPub native server that doesn’t honor those requests.

Bridgy doesn’t scrape anything. It works the same as any other ActivityPub instance, the only difference is that it converts some JSON from one format to another.

It also converts edit and deletion events, so in your scenario it would relay that you want your poem or photo deleted.

This isn’t a web scrapper that reposts content like all the bots reposting Reddit threads to Lemmy. This is a protocol translator between federated networks that speak different languages.

That’s exactly the point. Isolationists instances can always defederate bridges if they don’t like them. This outrage is them imposing their will on the rest of the fediverse.

This insane isolationism from the vocal minority will kill ActivityPub. The fact that the author is now backing down and switching to an opt-in system is infuriating. Makes want to fork the project and host a copy of the bridge that’s opt-out.

This used to be the case, but it’s hardly true anymore. PC Gaming has taken off in Japan.

The good news is that none of the large instances are going for these insane policies. Small instances and solo instances can defederate themselves into irrelevance all they want, just like beehaw did.

This meme isn’t mid, it’s just bad.
