As far as I can tell, the only requirement is that they define in their Articles the “public benefit” they provide, and they publish a yearly report on that benefit. The public itself has no stake in the company. The benefit Bluesky provides is the AT Protocol.

nostr:npub1hykucplphuhelaxutcw4jw3vuu7gcg42czhqmk7jhchs8vdga4fsj73p33 After spending several months on Bluesky and working with the protocol (on building a PHP library for it), I realized it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Even if/when they do federate, the intent appears to be for large companies to run major portions of the protocol.

And Bluesky just converted to a C corp to take on venture capital.

I deactivated my account last week because I won’t get fooled again.

(I now have that song by The Who stuck in my head.)

nostr:npub10sgxle7kqm4pylx5898frcm0w7ergxf5vr84d3tksrtfd4vzdc9qn3a25n I didn’t realize it was filmed near here, but I knew Varney lived here.

nostr:npub10sgxle7kqm4pylx5898frcm0w7ergxf5vr84d3tksrtfd4vzdc9qn3a25n I am going to make a guess here, based on it being filmed in 1987, “turtle paratroopers,” and shot in Tennessee…

I just ran through fire, taking the damage, but the rest of my party jumped over it because I’m an idiot. #BaldursGate3

nostr:npub1jpp36eeycvlkkdy4d4l4lgswvf8jtdare5vly0w0sk7rc39pzgrqlyu59l Are you digging it? I bought it early access, and it was okay, but then I ran up against unfinished storyline and I got, mmmm, pissy about it. Maybe I need to open it back up and start over.

nostr:npub14zr3e5jwdh2dgp44yc379q6g37jyt7wt7g4pvuqtzdvqhsvfjwsqpx9fx0 I’m still using early access myself because that’s all that’s available on macOS at the moment. 😒

My favorite pastime is lighting every candle, brazier, and candelabrum along the way, and I don’t even have to because I have darkvision. #BaldursGate3

nostr:npub1psyu32rex4g3h8zvnqsf5jculys07nq7gsuuvv6wme4j0r7qd9lsh3pasy When this song came out, I swore it was a cover of some Peter Gabriel song from the 80s, but I was wrong. This video makes it seem even more like something from the late 80s.

nostr:npub1psyu32rex4g3h8zvnqsf5jculys07nq7gsuuvv6wme4j0r7qd9lsh3pasy Also, I laughed pretty hard at this, too. 🤣

I will also open a luggage store because you can just pick up all these trunks and send them back to camp. #BaldursGate3

When I get back to Baldur’s Gate, I’m gonna open up a book store! #BaldursGate3

nostr:npub1jpp36eeycvlkkdy4d4l4lgswvf8jtdare5vly0w0sk7rc39pzgrqlyu59l with a tiny team and no dedicated web designers on staff we do our best.

Most important: what info is missing from the licence pages? We've added a lot of details that weren't available before, if anything is missing we need to fix that ASAP.

Same for the redirects... We regularly uncover decades of old paths not documented and we welcome reports to fix them.

nostr:npub1n702fwc8fhzsuff296qxsywjpxw2g84x5j7dahk9utjgthage7pqd2qpfe If I have time, I’ll try to catalog and report the missing info and weird redirects.

nostr:npub1jpp36eeycvlkkdy4d4l4lgswvf8jtdare5vly0w0sk7rc39pzgrqlyu59l promoted properties don't have that issue (If you can use them)

nostr:npub1hy28cvz3c4xlmcujaepdk9szmedpxlzm2l490q3za8ryx3cls45s7f4neg The stub doesn’t use promoted properties because of the way PHP’s `gen_stub.php` script works.

More devs are starting to follow me on Bluesky, but I can’t see that place as anything more than a slow train wreck in progress.

I feel like a celebrity. I was recognized on the street and had my picture taken with a dev team. #LifeGoals #LaraconUS
