We have 2-3 months to compile a Threads block list
  • Nostr is the Bitcoiner protocol. It's simple but inflexible and not that censorship resistant (if you don't run your own relay you can lose data). ATP is more like Ethereum, way more complex but you can build actually useful apps with it.

  • Google Says It'll Scrape Everything You Post Online for AI
  • Don't see a problem with it as long as they don't get copyright on the outputs of their AI. That would make enforcing any IP impossible on the internet because there's no way to prove it wasn't AI generated.

  • Climate nears point of no return as land, sea temperatures break records, experts say
  • This type of reporting is super counterproductive imo. When people read "the planet's fucked, no way to fix it now" a lot of them either give up and stop caring or become violent extremists. The right way is cautious optimism and busting myths - "here's why public transport doesn't suck" or "we need to build more solar panels" or "nuclear plants aren't dangerous".

  • America's housing shortage is keeping home prices high
  • Just let people build more housing. In most American cities it's either totally impossible or so expensive only millionaires and big real estate companies can afford it. There's no reason for a permitting process that takes 5 years or for single family zoning, other than homeowners self interest and racism.

  • Steam Update Makes Big Changes to the User Interface
  • Valve has a pretty unique flat structure that could protect them from a corporate buyout, even more if Gaben decides to transfer ownership into an employee trust and turn it into a full co-op when he leaves.

  • 2 men who helped run popular pirating website Megaupload sentenced to prison in New Zealand
  • Even in the US there's no law against hosting encrypted files. They could be liable if they knew a specific file was illegal/pirated and didn't take it down but a recent SCOTUS case (think it was Twitter v Taamneh) set the precedent that general knowledge of illegal activity is not enough.
