How decentralized is Bluesky/ATProto?
  • Man I was really hoping this wouldn't be the answer I get - thanks for the link

  • How decentralized is Bluesky/ATProto?

    (I rewrote the title seven times, I'm just going with this)

    I tried Bluesky because of its growing popularity, and I'm confused about its supposedly decentralized nature. Yes, you can "own" your account with a custom domain, but everything else is centralized onto the one instance which is Bluesky - there's no federation or anything like that (?) so I don't see why people promote it as being anti-big corporation even though it may become that at this rate.

    With Mastodon/ActivityPub, federated instances connect through the underlying software that they all share. Heck, you can even communicate with other software like Lemmy through the ActivityPub protocol. Sure, I guess you don't "own" your account/likes/etc, but I think it's way better than being locked in to solely one instance and not having the ability to switch if the one your using doesn't appeal to you in some way.

    I'm sure I'm missing and/or an incorrect on some information about all this, so I'm really just hoping someone can explain it in a way that I understand.

    An AI-powered copyright tool is taking down AI-generated Mario pictures
  • Isn't this the same broken AI that has been striking youtube videos about Minecraft clients? Why is every company suddenly using this?

    Edit: Yes it is. I really don't know what to say anymore. Imagine applying youtube's broken copyright system to the entire internet, but even worse.

  • Oh no!
  • Last time I visited Iceland I missed going to the national penis museum and I still think about what I missed to this day

  • dude the fact that everyone just straight-up got recommended the full, fucking entire-ass WALL-E movie on youtube with no catch is fucking unreal but holy shit its beautiful
  • Those were all done by YouTube themselves though, not some random guy who was already uploading stuff before they did the entirety of wall-e (technically it fits in with the channel, they were uploading space stuff beforehand)

    On a side note youtube flagged it as for kids sometime today and now I'm mad I can't read the comments anymore

    Vimms Lair is getting removal notices from Nintendo etc. We need someone to help make a rom pack archive can you help?
  • Are these roms/hacks that aren't in the roms megathread? I'd have to assume most of these already have duplicates somewhere else just by nature of them being put online

  • Some wisdom about bad bosses
  • Somehow I read this and was like "ah yes this is good advice" then I saw what community I'm in

  • Chicken soup
  • I agree.

  • Strange behavior after closing game
  • Maybe - I'm really bad at explaining things so I'll probably just get more specific than I have to

    Basically, there's two menus I'm referring to - the "play game" menu and whatever menu you have before that (I'll just say library). Without starting a game, I can go to and from each menu with one button press. If I start and exit any game, I return to the play game menu, but in order to go back to the library menu I have to press B twice; it acts like I'm closing an invisible menu or something which could be the black screen in your case.

    In reality, this bug isn't anything major - I just wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing it and/or if anyone knew why it was happening (maybe someone with CSS experience could make a plugin to fix it)

  • Strange behavior after closing game

    Every time I close a game, there's an extra invisible window or popup thing I need to close before I get to the recent games menu. This only started happening sometime before the 3.5 update and I was hoping that it was just a bug that was going to get fixed but nothing has happened so far.

    Anyone else have this issue? Does anyone even know what I'm talking about?
