I did my big post summarizing the Evercade year, ranking all of the new cartridge releases from 2025 and talking about the new hardware. All members can read this one, even if you're not a paid member. Just sign up and away you go! www.patreon.com/posts/146903...

"Login with your Internet handle" discourse is getting a little stale now, let's try this one on for size: With the TikTok US sale, TikTok will be decentralized before Bluesky.

Welp, it's Xmas Eve Eve, so my timing is impeccable as always. Wouldn't it be great if you could share gift ideas with your friends and family on atproto instead of locking into Amazon or making an account on some rando site? Maybe by this time next year it'll be a thing. Here's an early demo gif.

Well, mister, let me tell you I'm a journalist. And as a journalist, it's my job - nay my duty - to report the facts neutrally, completely, and exactly as they've been presented to me in the marketing copy on this press release from the company.

I think @stream.place would be more than happy to host your weird nsfw unlicensed NES game streams. I've streamed there a couple times and it was plenty easy to get up and running.

I feel like most people know the cliche that Congress increasingly tosses a bunch unrelated bs into a pot and calls it a bill. But the comments here make it clear that some people maybe haven't fully internalized this. Or maybe some just haven't learned how to look at a specific bill.

Note: repealing S.230 will not address this problem. And indeed will make it harder for competitors to enter and stay in the market. Nor will age verif. laws which violate user privacy and again penalize smaller players. How bout antitrust laws? Privacy protections to make brokering less lucrative?

We've been rebuilding the same things on atproto and AP and the rest for years now. And we're pretty well practiced at it. But how do we start to embrace their unique strengths to actually start to innovate?

Bluesky and other open social stuff is interesting. Early adopters are outsiders/enthusiasts. Fast followers are swayed by moral arguments. Soon you hit the mass that know the argument but can't be bothered to care. If alternatives are at best imitations of the major players, what's the incentive?

I know I'm reiterating the post, but folks don't care unless it's materially better _and_ more convenient. When I switched to Linux in 2003 it was neither. Is it better than Windows now? Maybe. Is it more convenient? Not til my dad goes to Best Buy and all the computers have Linux preinstalled.

Perennial issue for alternatives. 25 years I've been telling folks "it's open source!" "they don't sell your data!" "it's not plastered with ads!" Privacy, especially, is a weird one these days cause we seem to have passed a point where folks just don't think a better world is possible.

Spent the afternoon fighting with uploadBlob inexplicably returning `MissingScope blob:*/*` when the scope was clearly present. Back to transition:generic for now I guess and check back in later.

A link to the code is in the post you've replied to haha. Just on tangled and not github.

125 games across 15 carts has definitely stressed my ability to keep up with new releases haha. Got lots of catching up to do before February.
