Well no, the result is they still make a lot of software it’s just really bad

Try reading the actual ATProto docs they are a million times worse

That article should be the official ATProto docs at this point. The current docs are hilariously self-referential and uses terminology that is either way too broad and overloaded for the component they are supposed to describe, or so far misaligned with the standardized computer science concepts that it seems intentionally opaque.

It reads like the devs think they invented a whole new world of computing and not just a little protocol.


Rocky Linux was a corporate fork with numerous dubious ethical decisions early on

Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation is a benefit corporation founded by the original founder of CentOS and other CentOS developers in response to CentOS becoming a stream OS instead of a stable OS.

You'll have to be specific about what dubious ethical decisions you mean. I'm unaware of any, and I feel like I'm pretty tuned into this specific story.


I mean here are just a few of the issues re: the founding https://hackernoon.com/the-case-against-rocky-linux

If you’re “pretty tuned in” you would at least know that all this founder & foundation fluff is a load of corporate PR BS.

I was also referring to them shipping broken releases early on and them fighting with users about it instead of fixing and figuring out why they were publishing broken garbage.


How about the US massacring more civilians around the world than any empire since Ghengis Khan?

Nazis? Soviets? CCP? Spanish Empire? How are you doing the math?

You only need the Native Americans, the US share of transatlantic slave trade, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Iraq for the US to be well clear of the Nazis.

This doesn’t even touch the Guatemalan genocide, US backing of the Rwandan genocide perpetrators, the white terror, Pinochet, the Khmer Rouge, Afghanistan, or Israel.


I'd like to see the numbers please, how that gets close to 50 million dead by the CCP, and I can't fathom how do you attribute the Khmer Rouge genocide committed by a communist party to the USA or others on the list

They must have machines that are not app-enabled right?

I sort of understand why their consumer machines would have that crap but I imagine that plenty of commercial places buying a $20k+ machine for a cafe that's supposed to run for 40 years would not accept having an app involved in maintenance.


It’s bad.

Go into a service shop and see what they think of the computerised La Marsocco. Great coffee, amazing looking machine. But servicing…

I got awfully close to getting one then went for an e61. I’m very sure the coffee isn’t as good. I’m very sure the machine will have parts for a long time - it’s been 60 years so far.


It's not new that push notifications should be presumed to be insecure, with their content passing through - and probably persisted - outside the app sandbox and anything in control of in-app encryption.

Apple should have fixed this long ago (not that you can trust a closed system), but Signal should also have strong guardrails & warnings around allowing message content in push notifications.


That's because "progressive" urban politics is generally not progressive at all and dominated by the upper middle those that benefit or think they benefits from squeezing the working class out of their neighborhoods.

California also passed a ton of laws that effectively upzoned the state in various ways. Minnesota did the same thing a few years back.

This seems like the only real path - you cannot beat out these skeezy local homeowners and landlords at the corrupt local politics game. You need statewide politicians who have political ambitions to build off of solving these problems.


I think in many dishes you can add quite a lot, but it blends and cooks in with other ingredients so that the "fish sauce flavor" does not jump out as such.

I make mapo tofu with 1 tsp each of fish sauce, oyster sauce and light soy sauce. I don't think anyone would think it tastes like fish or oyster sauce in any way, but it doesn't taste right at all without them. The same goes for many other dishes.


I need to try this. Typically I make my mapo tofu with dry-fried mushrooms and mushroom stock (I've found this much tastier than a pork or beef-based mapo tofu), but I don't always have the mushroom preparation on hand and punching up a pork mapo tofu with fish sauce would be much more convenient.

What kind of fish sauce do you use?


Red Boat fish sauce, Lee Kum Kee Oyster Sauce, and Pearl River Bridge light soy sauce - all standard stuff. I use just a little ground pork for that flavor, and I’ve found a little chicken stock and dash of white pepper really help as well
