frontalier··on We need to protect the protocol that runs Bluesky
yes, alice has autonomy over who participates on conversations she started. bob is still free to have the same conversation, just not on alice's conversations or as replies to her.

i dont't think we're going to agree on why people generaly block others. you seem to see yourself as some sort of dissenter, or a truth-teller of some kind, but when you get blocked for interjecting into someone else's coversations it's just because no one asked you to be part of that conversation and now you lost your access privileges. this rejection probably fucks with your self-esteem more than it should but i'm no therapist so maybe go find one instead of annoying folks on the internet.

the "collective" has been able to block out toxic shit for a while

folks just get riled up when their diatribes don't get traction

this is false

if alice blocks bob: it hides all posts bob made in response to alice posts; blocks bob from replying to future posts of alice; but more importantly it erases bob from alice's feed wich is often the only healthy thing to do because bob is a deranged lunatic and alice does not owe bob the attention he seeks

how does it handle timezones?

i saw no mention of them on the help article, or the ui

if i ask for a daily early morning news summary will it show up in the middle of the night or around lunch time? will it get updated when i travel? seems interesting if what you're looking for is a reminder that is not time relevant, just a thing that should happen at some point with a time precision of about 1 day.

"a todo app that you can interact with by writing natural language input?"

okay.

it's my new default on all machines (personal and professional), but then some projects are still on 3.12 because some dependencies take time to catch up and stability takes priority over speed – have not yet noticed any issues with it though

it has a GIL; it supports all pure python packages; it has decent support for packages with compiled code, particularly the more popular ones

pypy is used in some interesting places; at some point development was sponsored by a sports betting arbitrage company; you can research a bit more starting from https://pypy.org/pypy-sponsors.html and reading the links from https://pypy.org/categories/sponsors.html

you're saying something about yourself and your context but very little about python or loops

what would you prefer using? how do you compare python loops and those of that other language?
