It's pretty easy to find the PR considering the entire app is OSS https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app/pull/9637

The data is publicly stored on [publicly accessible servers](https://atproto.wiki/en/wiki/reference/core-architecture/pds) so you can indeed do whatever you want with the uploaded media on BlueSky as well. Not to mention that if you care enough about this issue, there are numerous alternate clients to access BlueSky.

A mastodon instance is not useful if that's not your goal lol
Yeah the social media built on an open protocol where data is interoperable across apps isn't quite isolated

FYI the CTO of Bluesky was an early dev of Secure ScuttleButt

I also don't think the average user gets the value of the protocol yet. Most of those users were looking for a new, more politically palatable home but with the same features as Twitter. The new generation of apps on the protocol will be vital in showing users what's possible. IMO the two most valuable features at a practical level are: - social graph portability, which might look like having an onboarding experience that bootstraps your community on that app - lexicon cross compatibility, i.e. your data from app A shows up in a contextually relevant spot in app B. Or app B writes records that show up in app A. This is pretty key to get right because it might confuse or anger users if they aren't condition to expect it. Once the average user groks these features though, I'd be surprised if they voluntarily switch back to the standard corpo apps that eventually exit to some company who tries to monetize the shit out of every feature.

Regardless that increases the barrier to entry for the median developer compared to e.g. Github. In any case, there are several other providers for PDSs coming up and infra is one of the hot areas in the atproto community

They seem to have deleted the PR now too. Here's the PR author on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/ens0.me/post/3lpch5vsqit2v

or you can look at the URL of the google maps embed in devtools then ask chatGPT either to give the location or just the latlong that you can subsequently google :) Chatgpt got the location wrong just 1/4 times

Has anyone successfully run SteamDeck's version of arch on a pc for gaming+dev? I'm looking to do this but I'd love to hear anecdotes

A few hours from some expert consultants. Much cheaper than a dev team coding it up from scratch.

I'm ditching windows finally in favor of steam OS 3.0 on my desktop
It will the first couple of times, after that it just becomes a video!
Also shout out to KDE connect!
I intend to switch my custom built PC from windows to SteamOS 3.0. I haven't been a windows fan since I switched to Manjaro and eventually to Arch; the only reason I have it around is for gaming. But considering Proton is getting much better (and I'm gaming lesser), it seems like a pretty easy sell. In fact I think SteamOS has a lot of potential to bring gamers over to Linux; 3.0 uses arch with KDE so it's not really alien in terms of UI compared to windows. The biggest problem, as always, are GPU driver issues. But the steam handheld is already a successful unit that has seen some good traction, I wonder what a desktop version launched by steam would look like (they had the steam machines project but it looks pretty dead now).
I was surprised to see "covid" has a bunch of results from 2002 onwards; looks like CDC updates their dates weirdly

But it's also good to see regulatory bodies getting into the technical aspects of crypto scams
Seems to have changed a bit...

"As for our initial idea to make an age-guessing game, we have guessed right NaN% of the time. Not as good as we had expected ."

I was thinking how secure DApps built on Cosmos [0] would be. But I guess no matter the theoretical soundness, your DApp's security is as good as your L2 code. And messing around with L1s with no proper security foundation is a recipe for disaster. Re cosmos, if you guys aren't aware it's based on Tendermint [1] which is an advance in the field of consensus.
