How many un-federated free speech micro-blogging sites can the market support? I'm surprised Truth Social is still going now Twitter will let anyone pay these days. Are Parler and Gab even profitable?

It's not either/or - a lot of actors take training for action roles seriously and they work closely with the stunt team to get the best coverage possible.

I migrated away from the mobile app to PipePipe just to avoid shorts and I pay for premium.

Sure I don't want ads pumped into my feed but some corporations can do social media well. I used to follow Yorkshire Tea on twitter who were generally pretty funny, I don't drink even drink their teas.

Bold of you to assume we'll make it that far. I'm not convinced that our current networked CO2 phase isn't another great filter event.

I played my youngest (11) the Pickle Rick episode but told them a lot of the other episodes had adult themes that night go over their head so maybe when they're older.

So that's how the family ended up running through all the seasons over about 3 weeks. Some stuff they didn't pick up on but got raised eyebrows from the older sibling (13) but all in all they loved it. Rick's even trying to improve as a person in the latter seasons so it's not totally niahlistic.

FLOSS projects can only be sustainable if their are enough shared interests able to support it through contributions of all kinds. Fortunately the code is free so that constellation of support can change over time. It's a shame this particular line of government funding is coming to an end but others can help.

I went into it not expecting anything great but I laughed several times. More importantly the kids loved it.

Android gets a leg up from being built on a FLOSS base but I don't think it was the community that pushed Android to where it is today. That's taken a lot of money and resources from Google and it's phone partners investing in the slightly more open platform than Apple.

That's not really true. Yes avoiding complex instructions makes the front end easier to pipeline but there are lots of smarts in the backend to do prediction and scheduling to keep the execution units fed. The ISA might be free to use but no one is sharing their highly optimised server silicon architecture designs.

RISC-V's challenge is can they standardise the software ecosystem enough that things just work across a multitude of chip providers or does everything devolve into specialist distributions taking advantage of each manufacturers "special sauce" custom instructions.

Gaining design wins over Arm's microcontrollers for bespoke hardware was the easy bit. Replacing stuff in the server space is much harder and something that took Arm decades to make inroads into.

Ah is that what had broken my horseshoe graph? The custom graphs come up a unrecognised types whatever form I try.
