There's a whole industry of hiking gear that has been steadily trading weight for durability. I only hike in running shoes (altras) which only last me 400 or so miles. It's way less durable than my old boots.

I doubt this sort of thing will translate, but I wouldn't put it past hikers to opt for something less durable to shave a few grams.

Why stop there. Why not deny them modern medicine or nutrition?

Let's save that for the second act. Need to draw these feats of strength out to sufficiently monetize the experience.

Curious how this compares to presidio which mixes regex with a model: https://microsoft.github.io/presidio/

In what world is twitter the least censored site? The big 3 federated sites are much more open if you want it to be and X is a walled garden.

if you think that blusky and mastodon is less censored than X, then I'd say that we do not live in the same world indeed

You can host your own instance of both bsky and masto, making it fundamentally more censorship-resistant than a website where there's a single designated entity in charge of censorship, and what they say goes.

Neither of those controls their ecosystem. Truth Social runs on Activity Pub.

How is twitter more of a free speech platform than the three open federated options (activity pub, at protocol, and nostr)?

Keyword "major". I'd love for there to be an alternative to X. Similar to how there's no reasonable alternative to the scale and value proposition of YouTube.

Half this post is about how few people they're reaching on X.
