if it has over the air updates it’s software. If not, thats hardware

For most of my career the only consistent definition of firmware was that it was the result of electrical engineers being allowed to use C compilers unsupervised, but now some of it is getting written in Rust.

until they start banning un-ageverified users posting from 3rd party PDSes, whats the point of complaining? And afaik the verif is to PDS provider, so they probs wont ban on relay or app level. Seems like this could even prove why atproto is nice, doesnt it?

the readme is slop from the start. See “Honest Status”. I mean I guess there could be value in the produced code, but who wants to dig through code where the author didnt bother to clean up the slop in the Readme?

it’s not technically possible on bsky. accounts “own” their follower list, the platform cannot change it. This is one of the downsides that the decentralized nature has (not a big price imo)

a few days back someone was saying how the word ‘shape’ is overused by LLMs. this + the “not X but Y” is just too much

abstractions tend to be useful for both humans and models. (i feel like this question was bait…)

The Pope on AI: “Among these ideologies, I consider particularly insidious the one that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective.”

what to skip, what to focus on, etc? e.g. initally, I though flakes are not the way to go, as they are experimental, but as I understand, that’s actually the recommended “world” in nix to get familiar with (?)

kinda, it’s used for pdfs. I guess I have it as a dependency for smth else on most machines

I always end up running Ghostscript instead of git status (gss) :( literally never run gs on purpose

like, I dont think doing this is _good_, but it surely is serving a demand if it is generating follows, and possibly income

3/? Also, buying public domain films makes no sense does it? You can just get them for free
000
Gergely Balint @bgergely0.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
2/? As these distribution rights are country-based, so does the ability to stream or buy these films, therefore I cennot recommend the perfect solution for you

Gergely Balint @bgergely0.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
I use a country-specific site that does deals with independent films’ distribution rights holders to offer renting or buying (2x price of renting usually, downloadable), of movies that have been at the cinemas recently. I have bought several films from there, incl from some of my fav directors. 1/?

as a technical-person-on-bsky-pds, I think interop just allows a nicer experience, so a better product. Take for example custom feeds: nothing like this explains on other platforms, it’s even contrary to the logic of most, but it’s one of the best features of atproto.
