quickdid + plcbundle = 💛
plcbundle v0.5 will offer a lot of improvements such as a DID resolver, so it can be used instead of plc(dot)directory, including support for resolving handles, for example via quickdid

The plcbundle chain is the real chain, plc.directory is lying to you
We have the first CHAIN SPLIT ⛓️💥 on plcbundle!
The reason is the (announced) deletion of invalid operations on plc.directory, which took place in the last few hours.
New initial hash (root): f743c3ae1e3f6023e89e492bce63b52a9ed03ee46a163c2f4a3b997eaf2aaf85

The fact that the Bluesky PBC retroactively modifies the PLC directory should be given greater importance. Even if it is only a technical formality. #atproto 🚨

Still holding some Honda stock but I can't see how they're going to compete with the Chinese EVs that are faster, cheaper, more comfortable and so tasty

I was an MoJ statistician from 2013-15. Guns are practically impossible to acquire for crime. Gangs "rent" guns (linking seemingly unrelated crimes). Bullets are almost impossible purchase. The most common firearm offences were owning an imitation gun, improper storage, or recommissioning antiques.

Talking of office chairs I'm looking for a chair with an unfeasibly tall raising capacity. I don't care about lumbar support or whatever.
Goal is that I have a tiny regulatory limit on floor space but I can build as high as I like, so I want to be able to zoom upwards to reach stuff on high shelves

Do you have 40GB of free space on your server for an experiment?
Help me with better resilience and monitoring of plcbundle forking by running your own mirror. If you use your own implementation, even better! 🙏

the way forum brain manifests itself the most clearly is how 'settling scores' is the highest value goal. In this framework, thing A is bad, but the most vocal person against it is/was annoying (often personal grudge), and them being inconvenienced is funny actually you see, if not outright good

The thing about this is the BYDs are so good and so cheap that you could put a 100% tariff on them and they would still be better value than any Japanese or American car. The 100% tariff is basically protectionism for Hyundais
Chinese state media reports that Canada considers dropping the 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs.
