I think @stream.place would be more than happy to host your weird nsfw unlicensed NES game streams.

I've streamed there a couple times and it was plenty easy to get up and running.

I feel like most people know the cliche that Congress increasingly tosses a bunch unrelated bs into a pot and calls it a bill. But the comments here make it clear that some people maybe haven't fully internalized this. Or maybe some just haven't learned how to look at a specific bill.

Note: repealing S.230 will not address this problem. And indeed will make it harder for competitors to enter and stay in the market. Nor will age verif. laws which violate user privacy and again penalize smaller players.

How bout antitrust laws? Privacy protections to make brokering less lucrative?

We've been rebuilding the same things on atproto and AP and the rest for years now. And we're pretty well practiced at it.

But how do we start to embrace their unique strengths to actually start to innovate?

Bluesky and other open social stuff is interesting.

Early adopters are outsiders/enthusiasts. Fast followers are swayed by moral arguments. Soon you hit the mass that know the argument but can't be bothered to care.

If alternatives are at best imitations of the major players, what's the incentive?

I know I'm reiterating the post, but folks don't care unless it's materially better _and_ more convenient.

When I switched to Linux in 2003 it was neither. Is it better than Windows now? Maybe. Is it more convenient? Not til my dad goes to Best Buy and all the computers have Linux preinstalled.

A link to the code is in the post you've replied to haha. Just on tangled and not github.

125 games across 15 carts has definitely stressed my ability to keep up with new releases haha. Got lots of catching up to do before February.

Alright, that wasn't so bad. Minor simplification of my ingester code, which is welcome. But even better (a) getting repo backfill for free and (b) keeping cursor and concurrency management out of my code and letting me scale independently are both huge.

Anyway, Kagi continuing to walk the walk as far as their AI Philosophy goes is very heartening to me as a subscriber.

I think "AI art" folks object to implying all such images are "slop."

I don't share that objection, but maybe this should have avoided things clearly meant to be art and focused more on misleading/manipulative images.

Although, getting good at identifying the former helps you identify the latter.
