Are you ok?

Some of the arguments for mutual tracking relate to safety, not cheating.

Linux keeps getting more development because it is the cheapest way to develop a platform. It is the reason why almost all servers are Linux and it was used as the basis for Android.

That said, Steam is a wildly profitable company that is self aware enough to not kill its golden goose.

Bluesky is new Twitter today.

There is nothing in its design to prevent it from becoming the X of tomorrow.

I thought that was the Play Store.

What’s my age, again?

I’m not 23. Nobody likes you when you’re 23.

You’re also having a problem that the new forms of distribution don’t seem to replace the revenue of old forms. A lot of people hoped that they could replicate HBO’s approach to streaming, but it turns out that it doesn’t work well if every streamer tries to be premium cable.

Jeroba would default to .ml because the devs also admin the instance.

No, but a ton of people got AOL and Prodigy email addresses at first because they got an email address with their account.

And he has turned over Mastodon to a non-profit company which should be able to gain more resources to develop Mastodon.

Is Bluesky decentralized in any meaningful way? If the company dies, could the service live on?

It is more that both browsers are by their respective companies to create the Internet they want.

Chromium works to keep the Internet open and platform agnostic, but keeps tracking and cookies because Google makes money on the Internet by serving ads online.

I wish they made a Pixel mini tablet.

It isn’t one person that people go onto a micro blogging service for, but a variety of people.

What about Long Island?

Not really. Microsoft got a slap on the wrist and was told to not create a new monopoly.

Putting Ballmer in charge was enough to do that.
