How is Mamdani’s answer to “the state won’t increase taxes”, “screw it, everyone’s rent is going up!” 😭

Nice! Still has a ways to go and I'm somewhat worried they're gonna end up running out of runway when their crypto token (continues to) crater, but hopefully they get something great shipped before then or find other funding.

@free.law When I view the PACER docket for 2nd Appelate 25-2079 (Soroban v IRS) the docket doesn't get updated on courtlistener nor do entries get uploaded when I view them. RECAP 2.8.6 on on FF 140.7.0esr. Maybe cause the case was merged with another?

Anyone have any idea when/if @radicle.xyz will support having a simple web ui to allow contributors who don't want to use the CLI to at least open/comment on an issue? That (+moderation) seems like the biggest blocker to larger-scale adoption.

Hmm, but the below seems to claim the BlueSky default PDS more aggressively does PDS bans?

And sure, if you’re running a custom client it’s relatively easy to be more censorship-resistant, but I’m more interested in the defaults…

You didn’t engage with my point in the slightest, you just attacked the original gist author…

Bluesky Social media as it should be. Find your community among millions of users, unleash your creativity, and have some fun again.

> That's even how the bluesky PDS implement bsky.app bans!

Ah, is this new? I was under the impression bans were “hard” on the infra level (they clearly are at the UI level, no?)

You entirely missed his point, then. PDS’s aren’t “spaces” - the whole point is they just host data, you interact with people via higher level social media platform irrespective of the PDS someone is on.

Sure, not every PDS is going to be neutral, but AT wasn’t just designed with account portability, but also with bans-via-labelers as a model from day one. It seems the community (and esp the main Bluesky PDS) have doubled down on infra-level censorship instead.

It’s really a shame how much this guy got flamed. The original design of BlueSky was entirely around neutral infra (that was the entire point of having “labelers” for moderation)! This community has lost its way, it’s quickly trending towards another Mastadon mess 😢.

I love winter. My skin got dry enough that the it cracked in the fold of my toe. I now have a 1.5mm deep hole in my toe just because it’s cold outside.

It's time for modern CSS to kill the SPA Native CSS transitions have quietly killed the strongest argument for client-side routing. Yet people keep building terrible apps instead of performant websites.

“The reason SPAs became the default wasn’t because they were better. It was because, for a while, they were the only way to deliver something that felt fluid – something that didn’t flash white between pages or jank the scroll position.”

I don’t think so, at least for me it seems like time since login, but I certainly haven’t tracked it carefully.

Once a month? That sounds amazing.

The app logs me out randomly every 1-3 days or so. I usually don't bother logging back in for a week each time...

I remain rather perplexed by tariff coverage that just assumes blanket tariffs the president made up will stick. The only court ruling so far was rather scathing in saying “hell no” (and it was a summary judgement on the merits, not a TRO or whatever).

Given this it seems somewhat surprising to me that the court saga isn’t at covered, instead coverage seems to just assume that whatever tariffs trump wants will stick.

What’s your take on the courts throwing out the tariffs? I know you’re an economist, but of the legal analysis I’ve seen folks seem to think the tariffs won’t stick. The CIT already ruled (in a rather scathing opinion) that blanket tariffs aren’t allowed. The appellate court hearing is the 31st.

Why does bluesky insist on logging you out after a month? Do you want me to not use your app? Cause this is how you get me to not use your app.

Today I watched two New Yorkers ask a plant store clerk if they offer help repotting. Like, paying someone else to put your plant in a pot, with dirt.

When my wife’s home: damn, this girl rolls around too much, keeps waking me up, I need my own bed to get some real sleep.

When my wife’s traveling: what even is sleep? Is it even physically possible to sleep alone in a bed?

Sure, I mean i can cross-check and gut-check well enough. Sometimes it’ll lead me down the wrong path I’m sure, but better than having to google everything (the tolltips are great, but it’s still a slog)
