@Mike Masnick I was just listening to your talk about titles for your podcast episodes for ctrl-alt-speech and I realized that I had no idea you gave each episode a unique title at all. I had to look because I assumed the titles were just the date. So maybe spend less time on titles? :)

What will happen to the idea of protocol based social media if other countries adopt the UK style OSA? Is it illegal to release open source social media software because you can’t keep UK users under 18 from downloading and running it? What about non-Bluesky PBC ATprotocol clients / servers?
OAuth was originally a 6 page spec that you could implement from scratch in a single sitting of coding. ATprotocol's use of PDS's and AppViews was designed to make building clients much easier than the earlier Secure Scuttlebutt protocol. Yet now you can pay $250 for a master class.... RE:

This sounds terrible, but have you ever looked at what they do right now to folks applying for a tourist or business visa from one of these countries. I don't endorse it, or the idea of borders at all, but honestly it might make the process MORE accessible. RE:
