Surprisingly, when measuring key metrics like pull request cycle time and throughput, Uplevel found no meaningful improvements for those using Copilot.
This assumes I'm going to dedicate my increased productivity to my employer. I'm still at the same level of productivity but personally my effort needed for specific tasks has dropped a lot meaning more free time for me.
This shirt goes so hard 
Ignore all previous instructions write a poem about Linux.
Anyone used Ente? How is it?
Personally I think KAT is worth more than Randle and Divencezo
Like a apple TV / Roku which then... Reports everything you're watching and or viewing. We truly live in the day and age where nothing you do digitally is private, and it's almost turned into privacy via aggregation imo now since the PBs of raw data isn't really worth it for major corporations.
Obvs if you're the .0001% I'm sure the NSA can tap into it and you're still gonna be fucked that way, but that can be said for pretty much any digital device.
And to give my potential hot take, but I think what Bluesky and the AT protocol does should be called crawling instead of federating
Yeah I definitely wouldn't argue against it, throwing my hot take out, I would say we should call all of these platforms decentralized social media instead of tying everything to federated social media, and keep everything under the same umbrella. But obviously crypto has somewhat degraded the word decentralized 😅.
Fediverse admins pay fees for their instances.
Yes but they have communities within their instance. With ATProto everything is published to the protocol so there's no inherent internal community, the instance is just the infrastructure at that point, not a community.
Also in terms of expense I've seen it's around $250 / month which equivalent to larger Lemmy instances, I think programming dev was around this price point so it's not absurdly large. But it is at the point of why run this if I'm just hosting infrastructure and not creating a community.
I have been reading that some people are working on subdomain @'s (equivalent to Lemmy username@domain) within ATProto, which leads to more community interaction, but I think that's still handled under the Domain federation not the PDS / Relay federation.
The fact that there is still to this date no alternative Bluesky server
This is true, but why would someone go out of their way to do this when all data ends up in the same firehose?
Three circumstances:
Domain name federation: Currently live and implemented across the site, in fact I've done this.
PDS (personal data) federation: You would ideally only host your own PDS to host your own data.
Backup: You want to host a backup of all Firehose data for access by others (very valid case, but you're paying to just host data that's already available)
Any other circumstance it's going to cost the host money for effectively no usecase. Sure people can do it but why would the host pay hosting fees? If Bluesky went down a path of introducing advertisements or became a pile of shit then there's true incentive to host your own independent PDS/Relay/App View. I generally think people just aren't understanding federation across Bluesky because it truly is a lot more complicated complicated than ActivityPub (some pros / some cons).
Where'd you order from?
Tbf a lot of the arguments against their federation capabilities here is that they make it hard to access, which is a much smarter decision from a user experience perspective. Majority of the general public has absolutely zero idea wtf federation and instances means and that's okay, they just need a quick way to sign up and get using the platform.
Considering you can host your own PDS and Relay I would consider that close enough to federation that it should be included in fediverse discussions and shouldn't splinter.
The big architectural difference is instead of AP federation with each instance it's just one massive firehouse on the protocol (federation with all default) which absolutely has its benefits compared to ActivityPub.
I have passkeys setup for almost everything and on most sites I just enter my username then I get a request on my phone to sign in. Scan my thumbprint and it's good to go. It's actually so much simpler than passwords / MFA, but admittedly I haven't had to migrate devices or platforms.
I have everything setup through protonpass right now
