This dude must not remember Iceweasel. And that one was just over a branding dispute. He doesn’t want a deeper one because it will happen again.

My Zune HD is literally the only reason I keep an old laptop running Windows 7 around 🤐

Someone at @microsoft.com really should push for unlocking the bootloader and/or allowing unsigned updates à la old Android ROMs

Also my 4th gen battery swapped SSD upgraded iPod running Rockbox (which can play FLAC) and I welcome you to this club 🙃

Qobuz has an impressive library rivaling iTunes for a digital download store and I highly recommend it for that reason and the following:

Everything is available in FLAC, sometimes even at 96kHz/24bit.

This thread literally sold me an annual subscription.

I swear by Syncthing these days! making good use of the 8TB RAID1 array in the server at home.

In case you’re referring to me, I hope you understand my comment was commiserating, not explaining.

It’s literally the lower left quadrant of the Political Compass. Libertarian doesn’t automatically mean “on the right”. People like your uncle have a lot to learn

terminally online magae: “the left are a bunch of circus freaks”

terminally online leftists: “is this circus freak enough for you daddy”

It’s more about your control over your own data - if you run the server, only you can take down your own account.

As for the setup, it’s literally just a Docker compose file that stands up the PDS itself and a Caddy reverse proxy for HTTPS termination.

Good point! The self-contained and open nature of atproto is such a novel thing that the law hasn’t evolved to address. Third-party labelers are opt-in and the labels themselves are not applied to the original post’s repo (if I understand correctly), so the roles according to §230 are very muddled.

Interesting to think about... based on the replies to the QT, would it make more sense for atproto moderation labelers to be bundled/tied to the AppView for legal reasons? Given the AppView renders the content for the end user, would a labeler associated with that be considered first-party?

At first I was thinking “I wouldn’t go and watch MTV to celebrate anything but you do you man” and then I got it.
