    Im a also guessing but i read it as:

    She beat him regularly for his whole life. He learned to keep the tears in and never express his pain and anger until one day when she hit him again he snapped and killed her.

    His last meal was the same meal she gave him every time he was abused, and moments before death, he was finally free to feel his feelings again and cry about the pain she made him hide away.



  • Yeah its a great read that people enjoyed a lot.

    One of the best parts is where she explains that bluesky cant scale down. You can run an activitypub server on a literal potato by design, but bluesky can’t ever be decoupled from it’s “eye of god” central architecture. The best case scenario for atproto federation is wikipedia or the Internet archive hosting a competing federated instance, but neither have stepped into that “millions/month” role.

    I think the head technical lead at bluesky responded in a very respectful and technical way and did cop to some limitatoons why highlighting blueskys strengths. That reply is here.


  • They tend to lag behind on purpose for stability reasons, but a year out of date is pushing it.

    Part of the issue they have is that one of the most popular apps for lemmy, Sync, has been abandoned by its dev. They said they have roughly 5k/month sync users, and if they update, their experience will break further. The egregious part is that app has subscription options, and it’s still been 10+ months since the last update.

    I left Sync for summit a couple of months ago due to the above, and boy howdy is it better. Actual FOSS, huge amount of options, very similar ux and flow as sync. It’s a champion.

    Here’s hoping more people trickle off of sync to a better app and lemmy world can drop that from their issues list.

    Notice the weasel words too: “mandatory” subscriptions, “unauthorized” monitoring of prints.

    Sure sounds like a system where they can lock a ton of functionality behind an “optional” subscription, and where they will force you to “authorize” monitoring of prints with a TOS change in order to use your printer at all.




  • And this simple security flaw was humorously left alone until they clamped down on sane use of customers printers.

    It reminds me of what happened to the PS3. Sony shipped them with an option called “other OS” that was a full Linux install. Tons of enthusiasts and orgs, including Universities and the USAF, used this to turn hundreds of PS3 into computer clusters for research or to do other interesting things.

    Well, about 3 years in, Sony decided to just disable that feature out of the blue. They were of course sued and lost millions because of it, but the fun part is that up to that point, for literally 3 years, they had no piracy on the console. It had a semi novel protection scheme that no one had hacked, a point they touted proudly. Well, about a week after that, geohot, a hardware hacker, broke this scheme specifically because they disabled “Other OS,” which allowed piracy on the console.

    Its almost like pissing off your deeply technical user base in the name of enshittification can backfire.
