There are many non-local scenarios that can cause CSS to not load. The host providing the CSS could be down, for example. The CSS could be malformed or broken in some way, for another.

It’s likely a local problem, but it is not always a local problem.

A bidet gets its water straight from the tap, not from the toilet bowl. His is the same water that you wash your hands in.

Like others mentioned, it doesn’t seem far off stock. The things I can pick out that are mods are:

• bl touch (or something like it). This is an automatic bed leveling tool. So instead of spinning the little cogs under the bed all the time to get the bed level, it will probe the bed before printing to build a map of the bed position, and print accordingly.
• general parts upgrade. This is a simple upgrade kit that’s just an increase in quality. Better springs, stuff like that
• mainboard upgrade. Might just be upgraded to a silent board. Might be upgraded to something more… hard to tell.

I don’t see much else that stands out as being particularly modded. Hope that helps.

The person you are replying to is talking about pink sky being built on bluesky, and you equate that to Lemmy being based on Reddit. One is a hard technical dependency, and the other is a conceptual inspiration.

You are engaging in an equivocation fallacy, and I think you know that. You even try to sneak it in by switching to a different but similar word (built->based) with a different meaning, then you switched back again to “built” while using the term in the same way you used “based”, then you start using other phrasing to obscure it even more. You are gaslighting with word games to try and get people to not notice your fallacy. It’s super dishonest.

My impression is that AT_Protocol lends itself to decentralized computing resources moreso than decentralized control or authority.

In the fediverse, instance owners have pretty strong control over their instance, the content it hosts, the people who can use it, etc. Bluesky takes advantage of self hosters for more distribution and reliability, but still maintains centralized control over content and user management.

The key difference, to me, is that if someone doesn’t like how the main Mastodon instances are running, they can make their own and have a completely separate network from those bad actors without rebuilding the world. With Bluesky, there’s not really any exit door like that.

This is literally an idea I had when I was 16 years old. I was pretty dumb when I was 16.

JavaScript has nothing to do with Java. They are completely different languages and environments.

Anyone who codenses candidates down to a “score” or a "number is doing it wrong.

Define “engineer” in a way that accurately describes what you think is an “engineer” while simultaneously excluding software engineers.
