Ideally you would give the new AI product a distinctive name that clearly articulates where it fits in your overall product strategy. Something like "Eyestab" or "Footgun"

@nelson @woof @floralia 100%. I'll add that the final boss of this is that rebellion for its own sake even forms a kind of reaction or conformity. This is one of the stickiest wickets imo. There's a reason for the sort of perennial arc people go through from "mother knows best" to "fuck you I'm not cleaning my room" to ultimately a kind of stoic wisdom that neither bends to authority nor attempts to establish its own sovereignty, basically just existing. Parenting has taught me a lot about this, recognizing that sometimes my authority is needed to prevent a complete derailment but that in those cases I should wield it with a feather's touch.

@kirtai @soatok There can't be an organised transition, since there's just no way to force the Internet at large to transition to another protocol.

But today, finally, after 27 years since its drafting and almost 9 years of it being a proper standard, it's ubiquitous at the OS software stack level, at least for anything that's not a cheapo IoT device (which is a bit ironic since IPv6 was supposed to solve the emergence of a multitude of IoT devices).

My ISP provides IPv6 out of the box and when I check my currently established connections on this box, I only have IPv6 connections to addresses external to my local network. Pretty cool.

I think the only reason IPv6 is not adapted sooner is because we keep inventing ways to avoid doing it because of some perceived need for backward compatibility. I think that this is a self perpetuating problem - hosts won't configure for IPv6 because IPv4 still exists, and that keeps the demand for IPv4 going.

Yeah, Fedi has its problems.

But at least most folks are good about using the CW feature most of the time.

(I can't comment on alt-text usage on either community, but I'd imagine it's more commonly used here.)

The cool thing about bsky being down practically all day is I didn't have to accidentally observe completely untagged content for other people's kinks that squick me, which (due to not being tagged) bypasses my muted word list.

So who's to say if it's good or bad?
