Bigger corporations mitigate the problem by feeding content (that they don't own but happen to have) to training models. It's a version of "faire use" where << if you manage to find it, it's yours >> mindset is applied. Maybe worth looking into.

Hey Peter, that's a very cool idea. I think (digital) sovereignty doesn't just happen, it's something we need to build and that's how we do it. It's a bit like "local first". Looking forward to using it once it launches :)

Thank you and I absolutely agree! Pushin is merely one building block. We need a European-centric push in many products.

Well as soon as your pricing is available and full onboarding is done, I will be pushing for it at work. We just left bitbucket and I have everything stored locally until we find an alternative and I just found it.

Oh wow! I'll start pushin (pun intended) to get this ready in time for you to switch then :)

Yes, it does generate the certificate

For less than a cup of coffee yeah.

Problem with "less than a cup of coffee" has always been that those "cups of coffee" are usually per month, and they quickly add up.

Also hardly anyone drinks $9 coffees regularly.

you have a valid point.

My cups of coffee are free (at work), so...

You're right to push back. This is bending the leaf on both ends... just my honest take.

I love the concept but (at least on mobile Safari) most of it feels unusable.

The knobs are especially difficult to use (on desktop here). The first two knobs only respond to click & vertical drag - moving up rotates clockwise, moving down rotates ccw. Moving left or right does nothing. The second knob's grab handle is just totally wrong, appearing in only about the 4 o'clock to 6 o'lock position.

Round knobs are just a terrible idea. They never work comfortably with a mouse or touchpad, and are often an accessibility challenge.

With the knobs, I just figured out the problem was a stray div from an earlier version of the app overlapping the knobs in the components section of the demo app. I've fixed that now. Checked in both desktop and android Chrome and looks ok. haven't tested in mobile safari yet.

P.S: I agree knob controls in general are terrible UX. A real knob is usually turned with two fingers and the way on-screen knobs are operated is nothing like that.

Same on Brave on Android. But I think that's largely orthogonal to the design, which I like a lot.

Both performance and mechanics of the knobs :|

I think it's important to remind ourselves that the responsibility doesn't lie with the one individual. Even the visit to the WH dinner - it is the company, Apple, via various structures committed to doing those things with various VPs and staff onboard brainstorming and supporting along the way.

So "John" may bring some nuances but let's not be under the illusion that a huge corporation like Apple would suddenly bounce off to a different track.

> I think it's important to remind ourselves that the responsibility doesn't lie with the one individual.

No, the responsibility lies with the culture of growth at all costs. Margins and revenues must continue to increase, whatever else happens.

If you want to blame someone, blame whoever decided it was a great idea to pay executives in stock/stock options. That's what incentivises this kind of behaviour.

As an aside, it's amusing to me that Apple ran so hard on privacy with (apparently) the explicit intention of creating a market for their ad products.

> blame whoever decided it was a great idea to pay executives in stock/stock options

Yes, I do agree that extreme forms of capitalism are responsible for ruining practically every aspect of modern tech.

> Apple ran so hard on privacy with (apparently) the explicit intention of creating a market for their ad products

Indeed. It wasn't obvious at the time, but with hindsight we can see that the push for privacy was only in areas where Apple wanted to counter Meta/competitors or gain advantage in specific verticals. It was never "user focused".

Absolutely true. Cook is an officer of the company, and has a responsibility to the company itself; and the current incentive structure that Apple operates in dictates a drive towards rents. Change needs to be exogenous, but there is a certain amount of pushback that even a fiduciary can use, and the evidence here is, to me, damning.

How do you mean? If AI disappeared today, not much would change about my work. I make software.

No, it doesn't. That there are different words for it should be a hint it's different things.

It's kind of shocking that nowhere in the discussions we see references to the IDSA (https://internationaldataspaces.org/). Most of ATproto seems to be based on data space concepts with a strange level of "we don't like RDF" layer applied on top.

I hope the growing mess of lexicons would eventually trigger them to self correct and look more into reusing (and encouraging) existing ontologies (schema.org or any number of others).
