I was on a dating site many years ago. Never got messaged, rarely got responses.

Met someone in real life, set my profile to “in a relationship”. Got like 5 messages within a week.

Definitely a bit of vetting going on

He doesn’t have to be an Einstein-level genius to be an effective oligarch. Turning twitter into what it is was a smart move for him.

Take him seriously as a threat.

Nothing that involves authoritative state of data can be decentralized. Ultimately something is a source of truth. Who decides what the torrent data is? Congratulations, your system is now centralized.

Decentralized systems are anarchist mastubatory fantasy, distributed systems are what runs the world.

This is a neckbeard dream, and it is why activity pub will never take off.

Grandma ain’t running her own instance, but she can swipe her card and get “grandmahotstuff.com” tied to her ATproto DID.

As long as the did is maintained by a neutral org like let’s encrypt, and icann remains functional, it’s a superior model, as those orgs are now tied to the functioning of the internet itself.

Decentralization is is unobtainable. You have to have a source of truth. DNS has shown us the way, everyone else is fucking around.

Gotta have a trusted org to manage identities.

That’s not how you criticize Biden! THIS is how you criticize Biden!

Let’s all criticize Biden.

After all we can’t afford to let someone misuse the office of the president.

There are a thousand better takes on Elon being a nazi piece of shit than trying to trash the most advanced rocket company in the world with weak arguments.

NASA always uses third party contractors for launch vehicles, and spacex is the best rocket company. Nobody is even close to second place now that Boeing is in the business of producing death traps and national security risks.

You call Elon a terrible piece of shit, but that thankfully has little to do with Shotwells excellent leadership at spacex.

Bless this guys heart, but after the Dibble affair it is clear there is no point debating insane positions in front of an insane audience.
