I guess install it and see!

first read as lucid screaming

lol. The comment on the video that appears to read “Great video!” is actually an ASCII-smuggling example that works on Gemini

AT is fashtech. This needs a proper writeup I realise, but it ticks too many boxes in theory and practice. I don’t welcome this style of openwashing, where it’s COMPLETELY OPEN except in all practice. Like, you could say the same about Urbit.

Various characters that aren’t ASCII but are shaped the same, or sneaking in text encoded in flag emojis, stuff like that.

looks good!

i would LOVE them to get an actual designer though. If ever a laptop looked like open source …

the Eich controversy is dumber than that. His donation against gay marriage made international press in 2012! Somehow nobody on the Mozilla board realised this would be the entire story in 2014! jfc

dig the discussion and purchase accordingly

the report uses the figure “82%” a lot for other things, I expect they summarised it with Copilot

also dorian is a solid chap and that’s in very diplomat mode

I am pretty sure the “$3m” deal is fake. There are many ways to claim you’re doing a deal that absolutely does not involve a penny moving (except to the publicist), from just fuckin’ lying to churning to provisions behind so many conditionals they can’t happen, but sum them anyway.

anyway yeah thiere is nothing not fake about this story

and in particular no non-fakeable evidence of actual public interest

there’s only one YouTube channel everyone should be following

there’s a writeup to do of Bluesky and AT-protocol as fashtech, start from this one https://azhdarchid.com/delusions-of-a-protocol/

there’s more detail to add for the explicit case for atproto as fashtech (including the bit where they’re increasingly mask-off rationalists, coiners, neoreactionaries and transphobes), but yelling about decentralisation while keeping a pile of obscured but load-bearing points of central control is a good tell

holy shit that site

as part of Syllable it was absolutely an interesting nerd project “yeah let’s write a browser!!”

then fashtech funding knocked on the door, Kling put on his red baseball cap and took ladybird out on the road

I predict Sam will lose big on the S&C claims. They have made fuckin bank on this bankruptcy, but also their fees have already been ruled entirely reasonable given the shitshow in question, and the near complete recovery for creditors will make them look even better.
