Overall seems like a pretty balanced board. Al Shafei and Bezuidenhout have backgrounds aligned with the type of Mastodon I want to see. The lawyer guy dabbles in crypto law, but also did tons of pro bono work for Mastodon. Seems to me like he’s just passionate about emerging tech. Biz Stone is also an interesting inclusion. He’s obviously well connected to the VC space but has been pretty critical of Elon Twitter.

I had this thought as well. Read the books up until 6 or 7 a few years ago, enough to vaguely remember overarching plot but not specifics. I can tell they’re changing things but I’m not invested enough in the plot specifics to really care. It’s a nice spot to be in as a casual WoT fan.

Relatively small shifts on the margins can have huge consequences in the electoral college.

The ability to do this would solve a lot of the defederation drama that Lemmy is currently going through. This has got to be high up on the devs’ priority list.

This is why I read through everything I use to make sure it’s accurate.

Babel didn’t grip me as a book, but the magic system using word pairs was so novel and cool.

Subscribe.

I heard about a year ago that a second season was in the works but I haven’t heard any rumblings since. Hopefully they haven’t canned it!

I'm no industry expert, but I'd assume there's also a shortage of other things necessary for a chip fab as well. Machining, component parts, etc. It's not just the chip fab but also the local supply lines and economic infrastructure. That all has to be established from the ground up in AZ whereas it already exists in Asian locales like Taiwan, Korea, and China. Economist Noah Smith has been hammering about this for a while - he calls these network effects "agglomeration"

Antennae are such a neat feature that I have yet to play around with.

Agreed. I just wish they had native mobile apps. The PWA on iPhone is good, but not as snappy as a native app. The design otherwise is soooo nice.

Awesome! Choice and toggle options are always good :)

Very interesting take on thread browsing! I’m not sure if I caught it in the video, but do you have to click on the parent comment to view the children comments in the breakout viewer? Or can you still view threads like normal (Apollo style, if you will).

I’d prefer a both/and approach. Perhaps Apollo-style as the default with the ability to pop out a thread (as you’ve done here) if I really want to zero in on it.

Really great work. I’ll be following this closely
