I just noticed two finger scrolling with my touchpad now has momentum… I haven’t noticed this in other distros and I forgot how much I missed it since moving from macOS. Hell yeah, amazing work folks!
More entertaining than educational. Not so much about education and more about diving into the people and culture and fun stories. Maybe I’m looking for fun inspiration.
I forget the author, but The Immortal Game is both. It discusses chess history, but also tells the story of a famous game that took place in a pub after hours during a major chess tournament. Probably a little more on the informative side but I really liked it.
I would’ve ignored this post, but some people were wondering if Nintendo will keep the Nintendo account going forward, I think this suggests that they will....
I’d like to see them try if only to see what software they integrate into the device. Apple excels when they control hardware and software top to bottom and a controller would really benefit from that. One button game capture and share, or a special game specific UI when the controller connects? Or Siri language processing maybe? Some mag safe integrations? Multiplayer messaging and calling integrated into iMessage (don’t need a controller for that but whatever).
If Apple really wanted to make the iPhone a game console I’d be all in if they were, but I really can’t stand the half asses approach they are taking now. It can play RE8 natively? Cool! I’ll never touch it if the gameplay with an actual controller is an afterthought!
Having said all that… the BackBone looks dope as hell and I want one. It’s what I would expect Apple would develop in house
Earn points through generating content and moderation? Okay, sure, why not?
Use those points to weigh votes in community governance? Suuuure, okay I can see how that could be cool.
The points are on the blockchain? Uh… so what’s stopping rich assholes from buying up points and using their capital to take over communities?
If the points are non-transferable then I can see the merit of a points system… but then why would you need a blockchain at all? It’s all still a closed off walled garden despite what they are pitching.

I’ve been following BlueSky closely for a while and I’ll just add a few points here:
There is currently a federation sandbox for developers, it’s definitely on the way but it is a significantly different model than AP. Severs are really “dumb” and it has an emphasis on using a handful of services to crawl the network and generate a pipeline of all posts.
Moderation and custom algorithms are also a part of the decentralized model. Custom algorithms are out now, and custom moderation services are also under development.
Having played with both AP and ATP a fair amount they definitely both have strengths and weaknesses, very different approaches to decentralized social networking.
