<p>Genuinely curious: Why would you have a problem with that? Were you planning on taking their code and reselling it?</p>

<p>Thanks for the clarification. Source First is obviously better because it prevents big corporations from ripping off small developers and profiting from it.</p>

<p>Good point. I think the difference is that the society as a whole was much higher-trust than it is today. America is back to being the Wild West, take what you can and don’t look back.</p>

<p>> after which all participants switch to the bad behavior<p>This is how it has become with job applications. So many people started lying on resumes that the job reqs starting raising the requirements for a position, which causes more people to need to lie. If you don't lie, you just don't get a job and starve/die.</p>

<p>Goals to increase diversity are not illegal. And if an HR person were to hire a non-diverse person, it would be actively going against the company goals. So why would they ever do that?<p>But how do you avoid hiring a non-diverse person? What if the hiring manager likes them? Simple, just don’t even give them a screening at all. “Not a culture fit”</p>

<p>That makes sense. I guess I would just add that the users don’t know if it’s a good experience yet.<p>Maybe it sounds good on paper but in practice it amounts to a nothingburger and is essentially the same as manually moving instances in the fediverse.</p>

<p>Bandcamp has always lacked a coherent vision.<p>They have an app but it is incredibly underpowered and lacking logical features.<p>Each band can list their tour dates but there is no feed where users can see all of the bands that are going to be in their area, etc.<p>Just very frustrating because all the primitives are in place, but there’s no product vision.</p>

<p>> In this paper, Pelli and colleagues show that when reading words that have been distorted by presenting each letter in visual noise (like an out of tune television), readers do not perform as well as an 'ideal observer' who can recognise words based on their shape alone<p>I said being able to see the word shape is very helpful. I did not say that you can read based on the word shape alone.</p>

<p>this is because we recognize most words by shape. capital case is all single-height while lowercase is mixed height (it has letters that ascend and descend). for situations like road signs, being able to scan and see the “shape” of a word quickly is very helpful.<p>so that is an argument in favor of using lowercase.</p>

<p>i would also like to say that latin capital letters are for the most part a set of totally different, but related, shapes.  so our alphabet is really more like 52 letters.  and for what?</p>

<p>1. When people actually wanted invites, they couldn’t get one. Timing matters.<p>2. People may be interested, but they’re people that are outside of the existing niche that is on Bluesky. But clearly BlueSky only wants people that are part of that existing niche. The monoculture.</p>
