But this still relies on PGP right?

Yes, nominally Australian but hosted in the US, last I checked.

Have you read the article? Not what it says or she implies.

I’m willing to bet Sheeran had very little to say about this, in my limited understanding of how these things work it was negotiations between touring company agents, insurance and venues.

This says a lot more about the capture of American politics by supposedly non-political organisations than it says anything about Ed Sheeran’s politics or his music.

Edit: didn’t read the article properly, it clearly states that Sheeran had a role in this but recognises that he was put in a position of being pressured into a decision. If he had more of a backbone, he might’ve been willng to push back harder even of it meant putting the tour dates at risk.

And “grubbing”, grabbing.

Moral of this message: proofread your stiff. Uh stuff.

He doesn’t have “questionable” political views, unless you consider open xenophobia and fascism no more than questionable. He went beyond questionable a while ago and into being truly unpleasant and promoting harmful ideas.

Log in and your results are still clean links, so this has spread through scraper people and nobody else.

Nobody else? Screw you, corporate fanboy.

Yeah, and Torvalds using generative AI to write code is not the same as Bobby LinkedIn telling us he’s coding his third app this week.

What’s your basis for saying this?

You sill can’t steal music. That’s not how it works.

This may be unauthorised use, derivative works, possibly copying, but theft is the wrong word and property doesn’t apply to works of art, only to the physical medium they are etched on.

Good boy Google, wuf.

I did not know that. Thanks for clarifying that part!

The AT Protocol was open from the start. It’s not the issue and is actually rather clever in parts, in my limited understanding.

The issue has more been that there was no way to run another server than the main one at first, and then that you could but it couldn’t interoperate. I understand this is now something of the past, but I don’t think I’ve ever come across a link to a bluesky post that wasn’t on bsky.app.

Looking a bit into it, it looks like all you need to do is host a Personal Data Server (PDS): https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds?tab=readme-ov-file#self-hosting-a-pds

I think we all understand you are angry and respect that (I hope).

But saying it’s nice and good when people are helpful doesn’t imply that peiple who can’t help are not nice and good. There’s some kind of logical fallacy in that interpretation of it.

I agree. Even if the task at hand really is moving a couch, coordinatin, organising, etc. are crucial contributions that dont require physical strength or ableness to do.

Animal cruelty and gym culture. Off to a good start.

Yeah, this is entirely unhelpful.

USB, universal serial bus. What’s a serial bus?

It’s harmless, but it’s clearly the pet project of an exuberant nerd.

Does this have anything over PairDrop?

Wait, isn’t the conclusion just Pascal’s wager?

This is from 15 years ago. How many more times will we have to see it?
