A good reminder that what is dominant now doesn't necessarily need to be so and will likely fail to endure long term.

@sendpaws@mitra.pawslut.party I was invited during the beta, but uninterested. When I checked it out again, I was blocked by 30 people before I had ever made a single post. I only knew one of them, the rest were all complete strangers. Still confused about that.

1/3 of Bluesky users delete their account. In a way, the same thing that played out in the political side of fedi plays out there daily.

The difference is with blocks and lists, everyone is at each other's throat and then posting a post asking "what the fuck, why are we at each others throat". I've seen how miserable it is checking up on someone you know and seeing how their TL is literally just an endless stream of "Dad, it's over bro". It's genuinely the worst place to talk about stuff.

Something else funny is how radicalized Bluesky users get. At least on Twitter you can smash like and "not interested" enough time and get some esoteric VINTAGE RETRO AESTHETICS and furry art on your TL.

On Bluesky, you can mark you're interested in that and get pumped 20+ posts about Trump, Elon Musk, the latest thing in the 15 minute news cycle, here's a bad thing, before getting to the meat and potatoes.

This was cute - I needed a quick round of something silly tonight.

US government just mandated all new routers sold in the US include a backdoor via proprietary blobs.

To understand this you have to understand that all the SoCs in consumer grade routers are produced by non-US entities or US fabs in Arizona or Texas. These SoCs depend on propritary components that are more than likely backdoored by the US government.

What we know for sure is that other x86 CPUs from Intel have had their backdoors discovered and were developed to be deniable. That is they were introduced through security vulnerabilities that could be exploited to gain remote control. The remote control component is a security threat found in modern x86 CPUs from Intel and AMD. These backdoors are in proprietary software components. The US gets around their own vulnerabilities through a bit that when set allows the device to effectively not load the vulnerable component or part of said component thereof.

This appears to not necessarily apply to non-wifi routers.

It also does not apply to previously imported routers.

The only non-backoor'd routers that are legal [maybe, sort of, pre-dates the ban] would appear to be routers from ThinkPenguin.com and possibly new routers without wifi capabilities.

Would fedi be interested in a "best game ever" tournament? Like, nominate your top 3 favorites or something and then they get put in a bracket like the anime girl and vtuber ones.

if you are on the border years of two generational lines, like boomers or zoomers or gen z whatever, then you don't belong to any of them. It just means you will be spit roasted by both generations and fit no where

Microsoft finally realized Linux is winning.

Despite all of the RedHat bribing. And the lobotomization of their users.

Nobody wants to use Windows.

Suddenly, they are listening because the negative press is hurting their control over the industry. They will go right back to abusing their users once they get what they want. Don't give it to them.

Over the last year suddenly everyone has a 3D software rasterizer. Could it be AI?

I'm the real hipster here. I did it before all the codetubers did.
