So now you’re just going to discount the time I spent setting you up several use cases?

I didn't thoughtlessly discount anything, I'm just saying that while "some people didn't see how cars could be useful" is true, it does not mean that everything that has doubters is actually a misunderstood wonder. Plenty of things with fervent true believers that have been supposed to change everything were, in fact, duds.

And the reason for their overbooking, maximum profit, would be achieved seamlessly with a blockchain based ticketing system as there is no human input lag that causes double booking

Human input lag is not generally the cause of overbooking. The overbooking is intentional. NFTs have no unique ability to prevent it. This is not a tech problem, and so it cannot be solved by tech. I'm open to the possibility that airline tickets are just a bad example, of course, and it wasn't even an example you presented.

You keep arguing that there are other ways of doing the things that the programatic nature of NFT contracts offer but NONE of them provide it all in one ridiculously transparent, unfalsifiable open source way that can be literally implemented on every platform

This is all rather vague. The benefits are not obvious, so you need to be more specific.

That’s why I used the car and the horse example, you are the one saying: “Yes we already have horses already, why do we need a car? And how would a horse even USE a car you silly billy?”

You might be the one who is saying "the hyperloop will change travel forever!" Everything you're writing seems like vague motivated reasoning presupposing that NFTs are the solution to problems that you don't even seem to understand.

The really sad thing is I’m waiting for a moment of realization from you that it is blatantly clear you are incapable of achieving. Pretending to be open minded is intellectually dishonest

The US government has something of a credibility crisis, doesn't it? (And I don't think it started with Trump, though he makes it worse.)

Ghost has been working on adding activitypub support. They just added the ability to "unfollow" in their work in progress implementation, for example.

Trolling should be more subtle

You don't think it's more to do with his proximity to power?

Sounds like "light" and "darkness" clichés, not references to skin pigmentation

I try to do an "end-run" around federation drama by using my own instance, especially since I prefer to be as openly federated as possible. This is not without drawbacks, but it's really not bad.

My fear is that one day the biggest instances will switch from using block lists to instead only federate with an allow-list. That would basically make this use non-viable.

In the US I didn't see that popup either, just that notice on the page from my other comment.

Right? If I talk about Project 2025 to most people around me they'll be super excited and do whatever they can to make sure it happens.

You keep posting this article but it explains clearly why it's not a big deal.

So the somatic cells within Mr. Trump split with an unfortunate mutation that leads to out of control growth and they are just like "erm I dunno I think our host/origin is problematic" and apoptosis ensues

They should try using AI to reduce their workloads
