Yes, I share your hate. Unfortunately, the open web is apparently too hostile now for any sizeable open community.

HTML5 is not XML. You don’t need to close your

Atom is correct to a degree that is annoying.

It is XML, so not all HTML5 is allowed. You would have to convert your HTML5 to XHTML5. Possible but harder than string-concatenation.

It requires full self links, so you must put your domain name in there as relative links would be an error. When using a static generator, why should I care where the files are published?

My website has valid Atom feeds. Still, it's an annoying format to me.

Violates rule 4.2: Do not omit words or use contractions to shorten sentences. Keep articles, keep "that".

Maybe they should have given it a billion dollars and the strategy would have worked fine?

My understanding of ATProto is that it essentially means an open database. As a consequence anybody can write an alternative interfaces for any data.

The argument is that with ActivityPub does not care about that aspect. With Mastodon, the database is under the control of whoever owns the server.

The rebuilding part is rather similar, but exporting the data is trivial with ATProto but depends on the admin with ActivityPub.

How does Bluesky or ATProto prevent that power trip?

Sounds dangerous for liability reasons. Sometimes it is important to not write things down and have plausible deniability. Courts getting access to everything the CEO knows is not something a corporation wants.

Maybe the Democracy Index can make this a little more fact-based: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index

USA = Flawed democracy

China = Authoritarian

I don't really know how well they do this index, but probably better than a random HN comment.

As opencode is inside your container, credentials and API keys are also inside the container. Prompt injection when your agent fetches some web site could have your agent leak this credentials to someone.

Also, do you restrict networking or does your container have full access to your internal network?

Colleague recently told me his agent tried to sudo. It failed but it saw that docker with root is available and just used that. I don't quite remember what it did, I think editing something in /etc.

I'm working on automotive safety-critical security-critical stuff. There is structure and bureaucracy around this stuff.

For example, a project gets a safety managers assigned who has to sign off the release. Project management is explicitly not superior to this safety manager. In most cases these safety managers are just there review stuff according to some process guidelines. If there is pressure (project is late, etc), there are more senior safety managers to call in and they will usually make more nuanced safety arguments (in this specific case, violate this guideline, but at least do X as mitigation).

In the end there is bureaucracy. Things need to be signed and archived for potential law suits. Not having archived things will be even worse in the law suits.

The upside: As a programmer, you don't need to argue that you need some time for unit testing.

The downside: 100% test coverage is mandatory and it really gets enforced.

To be a little bit more precise than "a few months behind", what probably matters is before or after "Claude Opus 4.5 from Nov 24, 2025". That was the model which started the OpenClaw hype over Christmas.

I guess the prices are for "EU owned" instead of "EU hosted". The data centers in the EU where you can rent GPUs is mostly US companies.
