No right to relicense this project Β· Issue #327 Β· chardet/chardet Hi, I'm Mark Pilgrim. You may remember me from such classics as "Dive Into Python" and "Universal Character Encoding Detector." I am the original author of chardet. First off, I would like to thank...

Relicensing with AI-assisted rewrite Exploring the chardet v7.0.0 controversy: Can an AI rewrite legally 'launder' a library from LGPL to MIT?

Meh, there are so many better things to do than engage with those who act in bad faith.

The network effects on atproto are incredible.

But this is a cultural thing as much as it is a protocol thing – the atproto community embracing diversity and experimentation brings amazing folks like @devingaffney.com working on @graze.social. Together, we win.

Totally and completely change. Within the next few years we'll be teaching different things in schools. I hope the push to edge compute ramps up to distribute the energy burden, but I'm not sure if the pendulum is ready to swing yet. What a time.

This pattern also lets AppViews show they were involved when a record was created. Plus, it handles changes to the schema, so clients don’t need to update every time a field changes.
