    the establishment just hates the idea of a free and open internet, we should all recognize that fact and start fighting against it

    The Entertainment Software Association doubled down on community servers being illegal. In a statement to @pcgamer.com, ESA rep wrote: "Private servers infringe on the intellectual property (IP) rights of game publishers. Publishers reserve the right to exercise their rights against them."

    "When it's all said and done, the Atmosphere is just a medium for communication and information transfer. You mustn't confuse it with reality."

    You're wrong. The border between the two isn't all that clear. I'll be able to enter it soon. In full range. Full motion. I'll translate myself into it.

    TechCrunch comment from "Justin" on July 15th, 2006 at 9:48 pm I think this is the dumbest thing ever! Who would want all their personal text messages on a public website for anyone to read and track?

    Odeo released a new service today called Twttr, which is a sort of “group send” SMS application. Each person controls their own network of friends. When any of them send a text message to “40404,” all of his or her friends see the message via sms. #20yearsago

Title: Odeo Releases Twttr Published: July 15th, 2006 Author: Michael Arrington 62 comments Odeo released a new service today called Twttr, which is a sort of “group send” SMS application. Each person controls their own network of friends. When any of them send a text message to “40404,” all of his or her friends see the message via sms. This launched officially today, and a few select insiders were playing with the service at the Valleyschwag party in San Francisco last night. People are using it to send messages like “Cleaning my apartment” and “Hungry”. You can also add friends via text message, nudge friends, etc. It really a social network around text messaging - and is very similar to another service called Dodgeball. Users can also post and view messages on the Twttr website, turn off text messages from certain people, turn off messages altogether, etc. There is also a status widget available that can be placed on a website. I like the service although I was not able to sign up for it myself (someone added me at the same time I tried to register directly, the result was lockout of my phone number). I’ve been playing around with someone else’s account until I can figure out how to get my number sorted out.

    DRM should be widely viewed as the anti-competitive, anti-consumer practice that it is, and any implementor of it should be met with a boycott and/or lawsuit, send tweet

    "average person uses 5 concurrent umans sessions at a time" factoid actually just statistical error. average person uses 1 session at a time. Jeff Sessions, who lives in a cave & uses 10,000 each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted

    i think the auth aspect of atproto is gonna fly under the radar for quite some time but it is compelling. we need more non-atproto aligned apps to offer "sign in with bluesky/atmosphere/whatever"

    Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad
    Google is also becoming similar. I do think this is where the niche of paying for selfhosted PDSs may come into play at some point. People who won’t care about bsky anymore, who want off, but enjoy that they can pay someone a small fee to keep the server they use to connect to apps up and running

    i think in light of how much anglosphere biopolitical lawfare has operated on the claimed immutability of sex at this rate the term "transsexual" is likely going to make a return just organically from trans people & their communities themselves atp
