>It's less with the blockchain part and more the centralized part.

I know, but a lot of people assume that anything blockchain-related is 100% decentralized.

>As for email it's just a pain to get them to communicate with GMail. There are horror stories everywhere about it.

Surprisingly, Gmail actually has a troubleshooting guide for those having issues with their servers communicating to Gmail (I was expecting "why don't you just use your domain on our servers"). I don't know if I trust it though. I never ran an email server before. I've heard that running a mail server in general is a pain, even without the Gmail problem.

Canadian government: "Over 70% of Canadian citizens don't trust the official government narrative. We need to make questioning the official government narrative and posting any unapproved information illegal."

>You know, this is worrying me because it reminds me of LBRY in a bad way.

LBRY isn't unique in that regard. A lot of blockchain based social networks like Bastyon have the same problem. In fact, the only truly decentralized blockchain I know of is Monero. Even Bitcoin's lightening network is mostly based in Washington D.C, iirc.

>or worse GMail.

How is Gmail worse? I know they making it hard for people to set up their own email-servers due to their spam policy, but they don't whitelist. They seem to only blacklist your IP range if they catch a server that seems to be solely used for spam. It's still possible to run your own E-mail server and still communicate with Gmail, assuming your range isn't blacklisted.

You know, it's funny contrasting Mastodon/Pleroma and Bluesky as well.

Bluesky openly advertises Sandbox mode as something you can use when you're ready. Mastodon's documentation warns you that you should only use limited federation mode for corporate networks and the like and that it goes against the ethos. Pleroma just downplays it and shoves it in the list of settings.

But even more worryingly, they're going for the same kind of "supernode" network that fucked over gnutella towards the end when Limewire was hardcoded to only use their gnutella supernodes (which acted as a kill switch). Nowadays it's more likely it'd be used as a censorship mechanism rather than a killswitch.

I don't feel this is going to take off. As jank as AP is, it seems like a giant clusterfuck compared to AP or even StatusNet (which still works if you somehow want to use a jank php piece of shit).

LBRY is very infamous for context because while it's decentralized, the documentation is deliberately incomplete and you can't exactly host your own nodes. The only P2P hosting is from LBRY clients, and the rest are all Reflector nodes hosted by Odysee and the like.

What they're pushing for is a "whitelist", a "federation of allies", or worse GMail. They want only people they can approve of to federate, they do not want people they do not like in their cool kids club. The silver lining is that it's going to die off at that rate because the thing keeping Poast/Gab/etc. going is they're "Twitter for people banned from Twitter" and BlueSky is "Twitter for people mad at Musk" which isn't the same by any means.

Look at ResetEra and how it's mocked by most of the internet for having the worst moderation of any website on the internet, where posting is walking on eggshells. BlueSky will never take off if it has the reputation of "ResetEra but social media" like mastodon.social has.

@scarlet @bartholin Before Unity, you had Flash, Java, XNA, Pygame, various game makers, etc. They all either run interpreted or bytecode. Very few indie games run on native code. The only indie games I know that run on native code off the top of my head (not including those using engines like Unreal or Godot) are CaveStory and VVVVVV. Both were written in C++ and use DirectX and SDL, respectively.

Right now, I'm trying my hand at SFML which is a multimedia library that is similar to SDL, but is written in C++ and is object-oriented. SDL is probably the better option though, but I have this weird thing where I try to be different from everyone else.

@PhenomX6 @bartholin @scarlet XNA/MonoGame is just a framework, not a full blown game engine. C# originally had built-in DirectX support, but Microsoft abandoned that in favor of XNA which they later discontinued.

I got some Gematria related to the recent mass shootings in Serbia.

The shootings occurred on May 4th, which can be written as 5/4 or 4/5. One shooting was located in Belgrade the other was located in Mladenovac

* Serbia = 54 (Ordinal) / 45 (Reverse Reduction)
* Belgrade 54 (Ordinal) / 45 (Reverse Reduction)
* Aleksander Vucic (current president or Serbia = 144 (Ordinal) / 54 (Reduction)
* Jesuit Order = 144 (Ordinal) / 54 (Reduction)
* Mladenovac = 54 (Reverse Reduction)

This occurred three days after another mass shooting in Serbia which occurred in Dubona which is 42 km south of Belgrade.

Jesuit = 42 (Reverse Reduction)
Dubona = 33 (Reverse Reduction)
Masonry = 33 (Reduction)

@scarlet @bartholin It's because they are using bloated engines like Unity for 2D shit.

Good news for all the software development shops that never completed their microservice architecture projects. Monoliths are back in style.
