Bluesky's federation model is actually quite interesting, they go for a very portable approach vs activitypub's instance-basis. Unfortunately, there's still a massive centralization point (the main relay, the only thing that can really handle the firehose), and identity is also centralized, albeit has mechanisms to be decentralized.

Yeah that's fair. I don't quite know why I read that the way I did, but I read the "choosing" as "lives there and isn't actively attempting to move".

And therefore you are

I'll stick with AP for now but I'll keep an eye on it, then.

Having read a significant portion of the base WASM spec, it's really quite a beautiful format. It's well designed, clear, and very agnostic.

I particularly like how sectioned it is, which allows different functions to be preloaded/parsed/whatever independently.

It's not perfect by any means; I personally find it has too many instructions, and the block-based control flow is... strange. But it fills a great niche as a standard low-level isolated programming layer.

Yes and yes. The folder is just a bunch of markdown documents, as well as a hidden folder containing configuration, plugins, etc (json, js, css, etc). The vault is entirely self-contained.

On the second point, Obsidian's vaults are intentionally stored as a single folder that can be synced easily, including all settings. They do have a service for syncing, but with a bit of tech know-how it's still really easy to sync. Also, all notes are stored as plaintext markdown files, which is convenient since many programs can read markdown.

Rest is correct tho.

Tbh

Shiro used a known phrase that they heard from somewhere else. Cal invented an entirely new sentence that had never been said before.

Cal was wittier than Shiro (low bar but still)

I... don't know why I didn't think of that. I'll have to check if I have another.

We don't even need that for weather. There's not that much of a difference between 21 and 22 C, and anyway with wind and shade you can quickly have a difference of a few degrees.

If you think something being legal automatically makes it not-wrong, I don't trust you on... well, much of anything, but especially privacy

What did you get and for how much? To me it seems the framework (at least the 16) is only a bit (100-200 out of 1600) more expensive than laptops with similar specs.
