Alright. So today I am going to see if I can get my Windows 10 machine set up for another year of security updates. And I am going to see if I can do it without:
- Changing my local login to log in with a Microsoft account,
- Signing up for OneDrive,
- Signing up for any paid XBox service,
- Moving to the EU.
("Moving to the EU" is actually a thing I'm potentially willing to do, but I don't think it's a process I can complete before next Wednesday when Win10 reaches the end of normal support.)
Validated for the wrong reasons ??!
I just found out a band that I irrationally disliked in the year 2000 was in fact that one CBC presenter who got fired for sexual assault ??
@jdp23 What's interesting to me here is, the bluesky line is "ha ha it's super good everyone is angry at us because it accelerates federation", but you're making it sound like Rudy is having to upend his software engineering schedule to do stuff he otherwise wouldn't have had to do at all early, because of this incident forcing him to protect his users
I knew that I was making a good decision making a profile on that scam recovery platform on the dark web
Normal Internet interaction
A new "Nolan Square" style political compass with a third dimensional axis, that differentiates whether you believe that communists are the libertarian left and democrats are the authoritarian left or if you believe the opposite
Please buy my wife's book so she can write a sequel lol
My beautiful and talented wife Christine Love has published a science fiction novel!! It's about girls in space, doing hot girl shit (murder and revolution, I think? I haven't read it, I was waiting until it was finished. I'm gonna go read it). There are swords.

For launch week the book is on sale, but it was only $5 USD to start with.
@ellyxir I honestly don't think their architecture is very good
Remember: Paul Thomas Anderson wants you to watch Set It Off (1994) and The Battle of Algiers (1966). And he is right to do so.
@mattsheffield I do not think, in the context of the post you have made here, shatteredsky is "a PDS". I think we are using terminology differently and this is making it difficult for me to follow the conversation.
@mattsheffield In the screenshot, you see two headers: atproto-accept-labelers, which shows two labelers i assume to be bluesky and blacksky, and atproto-proxy, which indicates which appview is to be used (source: bryan newbold from bluesky), and shows only api.bluesky. So I believe both issues are live. But I am more worried about the appview/atproto-proxy issue, because out of the two, I assume it to be the more difficult issue to fix.
@mattsheffield *sighs*
I feel like I'm having a lot of repetitive conversations. The thing you are claiming was my conclusion as of last night, but then I was shown an additional piece of evidence, which makes me conclude something different. This was documented in one of the threads I link above, but I link a lot of things above, so I assume you didn't see it. I can explain it, but it would make more sense to just wait for Rudy (who I've asked for an explanation) to explain.
@tess I am inclined to give Rudy a lot of leeway because he is clearly moving very fast. I'd rather him engineer than answer my questions and I'd rather not interrupt him while he's engineering a thing I want to use.
But I just want to know what the software I'm using… like… is.
@mattsheffield The pds doesn't view posts. The appview views posts. You need like five separate components in order to look at a post on Bluesky and every single one of them introduces the potential for censorship. I can't read the site through pdsls that's bonkers
@tess But
1. Even if Blacksky's appview is limited to the last seven days, or limited only to information Blacksky controls (eg the blacksky pds), I should still be able to see Link's posts, or Link's last seven days of posts. So it seems blacksky's appview isn't being used at all.
2. The test linked above, too, seems to imply I am using Bluesky's appview in all cases.
So. The thread above. An update.
We finally got a live test of the "Gertrude scenario", when a popular Blacksky user got permbanned by Bluesky. I, using my own PDS and blacksky's website, can't see him or his posts ( https://blacksky.community/profile/did:plc:2aebn3xk5t63net43eeepire/post/3m2iokicegs2b ). What gives?
A lot of people claim this is because Blacksky really is using Bluesky's appview, and gave me a way to verify this looking at headers. This seems to contradict Rudy's previous claims. I've asked Rudy for clarification: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:2aebn3xk5t63net43eeepire/post/3m2jve23cf22m
Just watched Carnival of Souls (1962) and I feel like I was rooting through a basement and accidentally found the blueprints for David Lynch's entire career
