The article is about Bluesky, but what I find hard to believe is that Threads has almost twice the MAU compared to X?.. I’ve never met a person that uses Threads in any capacity. Never even heard anyone mention about anything on Threads.

Are these numbers skewed somehow?

It would be extremely naive to assume Elon, or even a real human had a hand in this. The whole analytics pipeline is very likely vibecoded and never reviewed by a human.

93% owned by the founder.

Doesn’t matter much in this case as US consumerd are still affected by the price rise same way consumers in a non-exporter country would be.

I guess what matters is that the increase in revenue largely stays within the country, but that doesn’t help consumers directly.

C++ people are great at making problems for themselves and then solving them to no end.

This does not look like a productive way to get things done.

79$ is not “high end”. 5G enabled router would cost twice as much - for a feature that not everybody will need.

I’ve never heard of it before. I work in an embedded environment where kernel version is known beforehand, so portability won’t be an issue. Thanks.

Of all the quirks with process spawning in posix keeping file descriptors open is the most problematic one I encountered. This bit into my ass while implementing a C library to have proper process spawning and stdio handling in LUA. I really wish file descriptors were non inheritable by default.

Interesting how I could instantly tell that this was written by AI. CharGPT has a very distinguishable style and reasoning.

Please elaborate.

Look up stalinist architecture if you think communists can’t build beautiful buildings. For peak capitalism, look no further than Art Deco. My point is that this is a difference between pre-war and post-war construction and is seen in all regions, across all political ideologies and economic systems. The ugly communist buildings you speak of were born out of necessity, due to chronic shortage of housing, a rise in fertility and urbanisation on a scale never seen before, much the same way as the urban catastrophe that is suburbs in the US.

I would wonder what would happen whenever I was frustrated and now I know, thanks. I'll look for a new intrusive thought to have as a coping mechanism.

How did they take it down the domain last time? Was it by picking on the registrar?

In my country they so this by asking all the ISPs to block the domain from their DNS servers. This works for 90% of the population, but all you have to do is just change the DNS server to something other than what the ISP gives you and you’re good to go.

Also, I just don’t get how current approach is any better. As far as I understand, there’s still a single point of failure, i.e. the site you get your “personal” domain from.

I expect the current orders to be PR motivated.
