Every time I see a post praising ATProto on HN I cannot shake the feeling that this might be the product of a concerted (and VC-backed) marketing effort. ATProto is "decentr-washing" as far as I'm concerned. Even if you self-

Hi, just a personal blog post. The sad story of Gandi.net is a textbook example of enshittification, which I think is interesting to talk about, because of the many expectations that were betrayed, and the deeper reflection linking to vampi

Sorry to hear about this turn of events, but it was pretty much to be expected given the way the world is turning, and Microsoft being Microsoft. Switch to Linux if you can, and come give Shufflecake a try ;) https://shufflecake.

Author of the whine post here, feedback is very welcome. I am in no way expert on the topic of AI/LLM, and I'm happy to learn new things and correct myself. My point on the "China has won the AI race", while admittedly p
