Nothing a good reshipper can’t get around. The fees may still happen, but the products will still be US available.

Not in the US they won’t. The Chinese option would actually have to have some compelling features and marketing to overcome their significant barriers to entry. And not being Tesla is not one of them.

If you’re providing products of scientific research that have societal impact, it is a certain type of actionable cowardice to hide in a BlueSky hugbox.

BlueSky isn’t mere “moderation”, it is a narrative security ops platform that has the feature of social networking. It distills the worst of Reddit practices and makes them available at greater speed and scale. X on the other hand, has a f

Full stack, and ability to opt out of purely ideological filters that are essentially trying to mandate Dorsey Twitter? At least with Mastodon, you weren’t tied as tightly or centrally, such that the worst one can do is balkanize instance g

That’s fine. If they want a hugbox, then they can have one. But if they want scientific or public facing discourse, they will have to leave it.

You’re lucky the US isn’t willing to replay the Chile playbook for that.

You aren’t wrong. The people that want BlueSky are the same people who can’t take the heat of actual critics.

Not open, just ideologically optimized.
310.
by cmxch 1y ago
Open only to the ideologically favored.

Hard to believe a platform that blackholes anything that counters the safespace design.
312.
by cmxch 1y ago
That and there’s actual criticism on X, not just the safe space model that BlueSky creates.
313.
by cmxch 1y ago
Basically, don’t do anything that prevents us from having a (lefty) safe space.

How about just not creating doxxing as a service apps?
315.
by cmxch 1y ago
My point is that data privacy should be enough of a thing that whispering/doxxing campaigns that can’t be a thing, no matter who.

If it’s bad for Kiwifarms to dox, it is also bad for Tea to dox. Data privacy needs to be a thing so that Tea and Kiwifarms cannot exist.

They did care enough to repeatedly pull apps when they did the same thing but in the opposite direction.
318.
by cmxch 1y ago
Doxxing as a service is OK for Google/Apple if you market it as safety for their favored audiences against disfavored audiences.
319.
by cmxch 1y ago
They wouldn’t protect it if it were a male oriented dating safety app.
320.
by cmxch 1y ago
Consider advocating for data privacy that makes Tea a nonstarter?
321.
by cmxch 1y ago
A case for ironclad data privacy laws that allow people to pierce the veil and request deletion.

by cmxch 1y ago
Safety for favored people, doxxing for the disfavored. Truth.

Sapphire/Emerald Rapids and Xeon Max (HBM) do come somewhat close, if you don’t mind absurd TDP.

Sentry Mode is a thing.

In the right circumstances, Wipeout Pure also was a decent web browser.

BlueSky only will work for people that want messaging control more than discussion.
327.
by cmxch 2y ago
But who will believe a group that can’t take the heat?
328.
by cmxch 2y ago
Well, people want a sealed filter bubble. And BlueSky provides that.
329.
by cmxch 2y ago
They only care about their filter bubble, and BlueSky provides a guaranteed hermetic experience.

The problem is that the provenance of that data will be questioned. It’s one thing that researchers will trust and use that data, but that citing these archive sites will fall flat when their conclusions have to exit academia and be subjec
