There were peaceful protests in Germany. Nobody had a problem with those.
Nobody? Really? You don't think the right-wing Springer press (just to name the most glaring example) that is ideologically allied with ultranationalists in Israel had a problem with those? That they wouldn't have cried foul even if the protests where utterly devoid of any radicals? That they wouldn't have tried to censor even your imagined peaceful protests?
Reuniting with my former /r/ChapoTrapHouse brethren to celebrate the occasion
it's pre-recorded, I think Chris talked about it in the "Reason Why the Show is Late" episode, they will be putting out more Spanish Civil War episodes even though there is a tinge of weirdness now that Matt is absent.
unfortunately it’s limited to what Bluesky wants which is just microblogging while ActivityPub is more flexible (see: Mastodon, Lemmy, Funkwhale, PeerTube, Wordpress, etc.)
One of the bsky devs has clarified that they do want peertube/wordpress/lemmy type sites to exist on the protocol as well
You are correct, however I want to point out they have stated they want to hand over the governance of the protocol to a standards organization like the Internet Engineering Task Force:
Development of atproto to date has been driven by a single company, Bluesky PBC. Once the network opens to federation, protocol changes and improvements will still be necessary, but will impact multiple organizations, communities, and individuals, each with separate priorities and development interests. If the protocol is successful, there certainly will be disagreements and competitive tensions at play. Having a single company controlling the protocol will not work long-term.
The plan is to bring development and governance of the protocol itself to an established standards body around the time the network opens to federation. Our current hope is to bring this work to the IETF, likely as a new working group, which would probably be a multi-year process. If the IETF does not work out as a home, we will try again with other bodies. While existing work can be proposed exactly “as-is", it is common to have some evolution and breaking changes come out of the standardization processes.
People who disparage Marty forget or don't know that he has been a fierce proponent and heavy financial supporter of film restoration through companies like Milestone Films for more than three decades now. If you ever enjoyed world cinema, the films of Kalatozov, Pasolini, Buñuel, Murnau and many more, there is a decent chance you were able to enjoy them in good quality through the direct efforts of Martin Scorsese and others.
“Because there are going to be generations now that think … that’s what movies are.”
should be understood in this context as well. We owe him so much gratitude for keeping the language of film alive.
Sure, I just meant if Threads and maybe Tumblr are serious about joining the Fediverse, maybe the whole AT Protocol that Bluesky is trying to build will fall into obscurity.
saw some brave posters try to get a Letterboxd page going, honestly if someone were to adapt this into a feature film (that probably would exhibit the same competency as a Doug Walker project), I would definitely still watch it
Perhaps I should clarify: by "good posters", I don't mean Wendy's epically dunking on McDonald's and I don't mean "night water hits different" lowest common denominator posters, just ordinary people like you and me shooting the shit. I think it's sad Mastodon seems to have the reputation that people can't crack a joke there.
That's fine, I just want either of them to actually kill twitter for good though and it just doesn't look like it's gonna be Mastodon. With Threads potentially joining the Fediverse, I guess who knows.
I have big sympathies for FireFish, but I feel like the target audiences so far are very different. Maybe call it the network effect, but it's difficult for me to imagine a tumblr user who maybe is used to blogging about their SuperWhoLock fandoms moving to FireFish where there probably is no big audience for that. At the same time I would want to see these users and their niches in the Fediverse.
There is a very particular culture that is unique to tumblr which I don't see moving somewhere else.
