  • I didn’t sound like a centralized system from the article. More like they want a third party like Verisign or something.

    It’s going to be both. Bluesky will verify users, but they’re also going to have other authorized verification entities.

    From what I’ve seen, there will be two distinct types of blue check- users verified by Bluesky will have one mark, and users verified by a trusted authority will have a different mark.

    Now who will those third-party verifiers be, and how will they be selected, hasn’t been announced yet.






  • Okay, so not that I think cops deserve fairness, but in fairness…

    If she had an extremely strong devotion to her community and a sense of duty to those people, I could see how that would add a layer of grief and guilt on top of her son being an attempted mass murderer.

    But given that her son had access to at least one of her weapons, I’m not certain that she’s any different from the rest of the pro-gun-toting rules-don’t-apply-to-us that most of the “blue lives” are.








  • No, he cares for Twitter.

    SpaceX lets him pretend he’s some great tech genius, but Twitter is what gives him the validation he craves. All the pro-Elon bots and stans there who fellate him feed his narcissistic desire to be loved.

    That’s why he “sold” Twitter to xAI. So if Tesla does tank hard enough and he gets margin called, he can’t be forced to sell Twitter to cover it.

    It’s been a minute, but off the top of my head:

    • The story was ass.
    • Not enough content for a “live service” game.
    • Enemy levels scaled heavily with your gear level, so better gear didn’t make you feel any more powerful.
    • The stats system for the gear was trash. Like, equipping one piece of high level gear and then keeping your starting gear for everything else was legitimately better than trying to get BiS for all of your gear.
    • Gear had randomly generated buffs, and those might buff other gear. But sometimes it would you would get a drop for something your class could equip (not every class could use every weapon, for example) but with buffs to a weapon your class couldn’t use.
    • For a game that was essentially “be Iron Man” they included an overheat mechanic so you couldn’t just fly wherever you wanted.
