Aren't the vast majority of web pages nowadays signed? Almost nobody downloading and storing the content on websites will retain these signatures, but they exist and can be verified with enough information. IMO archive.org and archive.today should, to prove they haven't tampered with contents.

mu.social is a "client".

An "AppView" is the API server that most clients connect to that aggregates data from the network and serves it in a more useful way. mu.social still uses bluesky's AppView (api.bsky.app).

The name is confusing. I thought clients were appviews myself for a while.

I kind of started calling them all “apps” with true appviews being “independent apps”. I think sometimes it makes sense of think of this as an implementation detail. For example, Mu could actually switch to its own database if they do a bunch of technical work in the future. From the users’ perspective, it wouldn’t be noticeable.

I think there's a quote from Linus himself saying this.

Wine works on windows too. It's used by the shorthorn project to get software for newer versions of windows to run under XP.

Yep, for some games like Elden Ring it even fixes Windows-specific performance hiccups: https://youtu.be/vAooLiCy7rE

Whoa. Can it be used to run older software on newer Windows too?

GOG used to ship Wine ddraw.dll with some games although for this specific use case there are better options now (e.g. cnc-ddraw).

Reminds me of a thing Steve Mould mentioned in a video about a claim in a book "The temperature outside an aeroplane is six times colder than the temperature inside a freezer."

Multi talented. He also wrote the fastest standards compliant json library.

Crimmas!

Did you forget to double space between the lines, or put leading spaces?

Also, I had to turn off firefox's enhanced tracking protection for the font to load. Before that it was unicode tofu.

Can you still buy Olestra to use in your own cooking for that purpose?

I have seen a video by Applied Science on youtube where he made some and fried chips in it.

I have no idea, but a quick search didn't find anyone selling it.

Maybe it's available under a different trade name.

So, a "Grocery Positioning System"?

I wonder how much better this does than CCC's attempts at indoor navigation for their conferences. Those are usually pretty fun to read about.
