So, you recommend that they implement the prototypical slime social business model that leads to the worst of every type of "user is the product" service followed by exploitative, enshittifying acquisition. Got it. So much for thinking tangled would be a good host for our projects.

With Verus, we can transfer any currency, including USDC or EURC, which can also be sent from or to a bank account or credit card in a single, provable transaction. This works on our FOSS BlueSky client, currently in development and nearing first release and is P2P, no 3rd party. Happy to help.

Looks like the sycophancy problem that is believed to be a big factor in AI induced psychosis and was a target for focused reduction at other AI companies is strong with Grok. Intentional perhaps?

When I was a VP at Microsoft running the eHome division, I worked with Tim Bucher, who ran WebTV after the acquisition. Tim had vision and created some very cool things on WebTV, like interactive live sports views & social games. Microsoft didn’t want non PCs to have those things, so killed it.

I interpreted her as saying the original borders, including Crimea (less clear because of the sham elections that were held) must be unchanged in favor of Ukraine. Maybe I was being too optimistic in my interpretation.

You should verify Verus R-addresses and IDs. They are more than crypto addresses and will soon be part of a compatible fork of BlueSky with ID and human/partial identity verification as well as e2ee messaging. Happy to connect, fill you in, and point you to resources.

You may imply this, but the first may do nothing to prevent, and in fact could raise chances of the second.

That is only an alternative for those of us who can do it. When I say "alternative", I mean equivalent in function. My question could also be read as what is a distributable binary alternative with multiple asset support and GUI capabilities?
