If that's it I don't think it's correct? Ending the filibuster seems to be the hardest thing to get moderate senators of either party to vote for without provocation. There are more things GOP senators would do if they've done it than the things they would do it to do

I know nothing but I don't get why the Dems of Bsky aren't worried what the GOP would do with a year of trifecta + no filibuster. For example the Electoral Count Act was passed to stop them stealing elections, couldn't they not only unpass that but also pass something to make them easier to steal?

I mean even if everyone was using them, the design still wouldn't work

Is it even independent? I think at this stage it's the same guys but they're going to wear lederhosen and broadcast the updates through a long horn

Honestly their whole idea that we're supposed to be able to keep them honest by running mirrors and agree someone to take over if they fuck us is hopelessly overoptimistic. On Day 0 of enshittification they'll just stop serving the mirrors and nobody will move because everything else will still work

That's how you signal that you're an actual human

We know how to account for the change, it's all about the clicks.

Exactly, and switching hubs can broadcast the traffic to particular ports depending on the subnet

I agree but what Dmitry is saying about GDPR isn't right, it's not in any way a global standard. It's a bad EU idea that the rest of the world applies to people with EU (or UK) IP addresses. The UK could stop doing it to itself if it chose. The British kept it because they love bureaucratic bullshit

There's no need to force anyone to do anything. Any website that is already serving substantial numbers of users outside EU+UK etc already has logic that says "if it's on the list of cookie warnings bullshit countries do the cookie warning bullshit", they can and will update their list of countries
November 8, 2025 at 10:31 AM
I totally get the logic but I live in an a non-UK, non-EU country and I am telling you no, this is absolutely not what happens. Websites are already customized for what they know about each user, it's not like an electrical item where you'd have to worry about the physical location of each box
November 8, 2025 at 10:13 AM
No, you geolocate and only waste the user's time on them when it's legally mandated. I'm in Japan and I hardly ever see them. None of the big US websites foist them on me, only occasionally European sites that don't expect to have non-European users. I go to Britain and they're suddenly everywhere

Counterpoint: Cookie warnings. Why do the British still have cookie warnings. They could just stop doing that to themselves

I love words, and also switching hubs
