God, I can’t stand this finance-bro vocabulary infiltrating people’s normal speech.

Christine Lemmer-Webber made an excellent blog post ~6 months ago titled How Decentralized is Bluesky really?

Give that a read.

It’s the kind of tent that’s a semi-permanent structure and you rent it like a cabin.

remember Jabber?

“The proof is in the pudding” as they say.

What are the pros/cons of piefed for someone who has only used lemmy?

Okay, am I understanding this correctly? In Y-up right-hand, positive X is “to the left”?

No, the x-axis is usually the only consistent one (it increases from left to right). With right handed coordinate systems you can have Z going into the screen (Y-down) or Z coming out of the screen (Y-up)

Their HA infrastructure is all built on open source projects. The thing they have that we don’t is teams of SREs on-call 24/7.

Can you link the bug report please?

Although there were already discussions about it as early as 2005 (and earlier), Loic and company had been hosting a Web3 conference in France (“Le Web3”) for a few years back then. (The real Web3, not the crypto-Web3. < this is why many, if not most, Fediverse devs don’t like crypto, the crypto enthusiasts stole “Web3”)

I think you’ve retconned a little bit here. LeWeb3 was named as a sequel to the previous conference which was called LeBlogs2. Remember, at that time Web 2.0 hadn’t really taken off yet - browsers had only just implemented the XMLHTTPRequest API - so it wouldn’t have made sense to already be talking about Web 3.0.

Here is an original document containing some history of LeWeb3: https://web.archive.org/web/20070704054929/http://www.loiclemeur.com/LeWeb3executivesummaryv1.pdf

If you go to your Settings page, there’s a Blocks tab which has a text-entry field where you can type in a community name to block it.

I frequently access Lemmy through quite old hardware, and I’d be a bit worried that these PoW scripts would make the site unusably slow for me.

Who is “we”?

Please tell me you’re not vibe coding this project.

Substack is Geocities for the Tumblr generation.

Newsletters? Google killed RSS so we could have newsletters?

No, I said, “I like the slacks you’re wearing.” They would go nicely with a red hat.

I’m trying to figure out what that looks like. So you mean they’re just peer to peer? I’d be interested to see one of those, sounds cool.
