A thing that's so much massively superior today than when I was a kid: light bulbs! Especially not needing to change them all the time!

@cwebber Unless you pick them very carefully you’re getting a worse quality of light though

@darius gave the perfect closing keynote to #apconf2020 in "Let's Play and Win Our Own Game" by helping us think from the perspective of: what are the centralized systems failing at, and what can we do that they can't? Lots to think about here! https://conf.tube/videos/watch/b8d6c88a-0e73-46dd-9e35-d4645bb12db8

Screenshots of final moments before various MMOs have been shut down https://twitter.com/voidshroud/status/1272978041019432960 Can we build a system where users are not beholden to the profit line of a single company to decide whether their communities continue?

@cwebber My first job out of college was at Turbine and it still makes me so sad to see the Asheron's Call closure screenshots :( It was such an incredible community

@cwebber No. Basically, you could set up your own Signal-style network using their protocol and hosting your own servers, but you would not be able to get your third-party application permission to connect to Signal's servers.
