does anyone still use the piracy feed there are still some users clearly but idk if it justifies the infra cost & the experience probably sucked cause ive been doing moderation like once every 2 weeks will gladly hand over the src and the db (posts + ban list) if anyone cares to take it from me

yes, the censorship resistance relies on you making the bare minimum of effort to use the infra that does not censor

you cannot derive conclusions on any piece of action by "Bluesky" before knowing where it is enforced it could be any combination of the bsky.app, api.bsky.app, the bsky.network relay, the bsky.network PDSes, or bluesky-social/pds and you especially should not *doom* before knowing which it is

perhaps if you think "everyone else is just an extremist" or "politics just divides people" consider instead that it might be that your positions are so extreme and make you so unlikable that people want to keep you as divided as they can from them

Someone just told me that Widevine DRM acknowledges the existence of DeCENC in their API responses. Neat! Presumably some of their CDMs ship mitigations now. I haven't looked.

it's still so weird to me that RED is in all other aspects the better music tracker yet OPS is the one of the two that sanely handles overloaded artist names like what is this joke

Artist page for "Justice" on RED, showing a big "WARNING: MULTIPLE ARTISTS" sign where the artist image usually goes, and showing albums from all of the artists of the name all in the same listing, no disambiguation.

The "Arist Information" box at the bottom of the RED artist page for Justice. It reads:

Multiple artists co-exist on this page.

https://www.discogs.com/search/?q=Justice&type=artist

1) a Drum & Bass project

2) Justice (stylised as Jus†ice) is a French electronic music duo consisting of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay. Hidden text: Show

3) ...

Artist page for "Justice (3)" on OPS, which has an actual artist image, the albums you'd expect for the Justice you actually want, etc.

I'd really appreciate an "unbreak the app" setting (disable go.bsky.app which breaks deeplinks on mobile) it would be pretty cool of PBC to consider user needs above the analytics of corporations and just not do this shit in the first place but like, at least let me restore correct behavior?

monero power usage is approximately equivalent to a few minutes of playing a video game per transaction (and using monero more makes that number go down, not up) i think trans people losing access to healthcare would be much more destructive than this higher-than-optimal energy cost
