You're dead right that the company isn't worth anything in a traditional sense.

However, the existence of truth social directly contradicts your claim that they don't want an echo chamber.

Well, that will decide whether Harris wins from a legitimate perspective, but Trump just isn't going to concede no matter what happens.

They've been wargaming how to foment uncertainty, and if they can find a way to do so in a state which is not a swing state they will do so.

It's very clear that if Trump does not win legitimately, he's going to try to steal victory illigitimately, through manipulation of corrupt officials, through legal proceedings in friendly courts, and through civil unrest if need be. It's exactly what he did in 2020, but with no preparation. This time round they've had 4 years to prep.

Oh sure ok. Silly me. I can't wait to be embraced by the utopia of open standards bluesky is going to inspire.

Yeah. I honestly don't know.

Firstly, fucking vote. Don't get complacent no matter what. Make a plan of how to get to your booth on the big day. A lot of media between now and then will try to make you feel like you don't need to bother.

That said, having consumed a lot of commentary about this, from organisations I think are reasonably balanced, I just have no idea what to expect.

After the big day, it could be an outright shooting civil war, or Kamala could win in a landslide because republicans are too ashamed to vote, or Trump could claim victory and just get away with it. In any of those starkly different outcomes I'd think "well this was a really predictable outcome"

Dude. Isn't truth worth billions?

I guess you're mostly right, but the exception is that they need one safe space in which to congratulate each other and wank about NFTs and what not.

Isn't the only thing that really matters decentralised control?

Open protocols and APIs seem pretty meaningless to me if there's a single point of control for the brand.

If everyone migrates to bluesky and then bluesky says "of we're not doing that open thing anymore because of this new embiggened thing we're doing" everyone will still be on bluesky.

You have to wonder how accurate a survey like this is on a question like that.

No, he desperately needs to be president.

If he's not president in 6 months he will be in jail, forgotten, and irrelevant. It's all or nothing.

He's just under a lot of stress, and old, and scared.

IDK but I think sundowning is a specific behaviour, wandering off at sun set, something dementia patients often do.

Ooh.

Thanks.

I've been running the fork for a long time but somehow figured it was a soft-fork and maybe not really viable without upstream development from syncthing.

Now @imsodin@infosec.pub 's comments are making a lot more sense.

This whole thing is more or less a non-issue then?

It's been forever since I looked at resilio so this may be an unfair appraisal but... I seem to remember it's one of those OSS projects that feels a lot more like free tier commercial software. Do you think that's the case or nah?

Honestly just a dumb rsync client would be enough for me.

God this is sad.

The parts of tech that are useful and elegant are contracting, while subscriptions and ads just get more obnoxious.
