Nothing that involves authoritative state of data can be decentralized. Ultimately something is a source of truth. Who decides what the torrent data is? Congratulations, your system is now centralized.
Decentralized systems are anarchist mastubatory fantasy, distributed systems are what runs the world.
This is a neckbeard dream, and it is why activity pub will never take off.
Grandma ain’t running her own instance, but she can swipe her card and get “grandmahotstuff.com” tied to her ATproto DID.
As long as the did is maintained by a neutral org like let’s encrypt, and icann remains functional, it’s a superior model, as those orgs are now tied to the functioning of the internet itself.
Decentralization is is unobtainable. You have to have a source of truth. DNS has shown us the way, everyone else is fucking around.
Gotta have a trusted org to manage identities.
Penises should be loved.
Bluesky will never be fully decentralized. The DID needs a central authority like DNS. Its architecture is distributed though.
Ideally the DID stuff is put into a foundation, and once the open source the other components anyone who can handle the fire hose can join.
Until fediverse advocates stop thinking of people as simple minded, they will never understand the steps needed to be relevant.
The main advantage to Bluesky’s architecture is centralized identity and distributed components.
The centralized identity is key. Unless someone figures out a way to do this in activitypub, the fediverse will remain niche.
Nope. It’s over. Threads only had momentum from it automatically creating accounts for Meta users. Bluesky is organic.
Rumors are indicating that they want to offer some subscriptions to users(domain registration and hosting of various bluesky components).
The company is currently TINY, under 50 employees. So as long as the infra costs stay low, it won’t take much. If enough users get vanity domains, and they get some govt/enterprise accounts for hosting bsky.cnn.com and such.
So the idea is that they want to get to some ethical monetization strategy before releasing the software to aggregate content is released, and federation is enabled.
Is the 5 watts on an M series Mac?
Why is the moon more relevant than mars?
How is SpaceX destructive compared to other rocket companies? Also, do you know who built the Saturn V?
You are totally ignoring their arguments. Not every place can do wind or solar or hydro. Like it’s simply not an option.
This would be a non controversy if they just ignored twitter.
Twitter is just the new Parler.
This is how I find out I missed retro gaming con AGAIN.
Unfortunately LG makes the best panels, and many other brands use LG panels(not as good as what LG puts in their own units).
The solution here is to buy their ad subsidized tv and never connect it to the internet.
The Apple mouse comes with some weird pads. They’re meant to work OK with a certain amount of friction on a wide variety of surfaces. However as you’ve found they suck on a mouse pad.
Replace the Apple pads with some made from teflon and you’ll be good.
You bring up thought crime but forget that the entire point of newspeak is to reduce the ability to think at all.
Most people can’t own their consumption patterns while under the constant barrage of mental reprogramming that is advertising.
No matter what the author did to the main repo, the various forks will have the entire git history. From most recent forks git history you simply check out the most recent revision before the license change.
They transitioned most of their devices to usb save the iPhone before the EU legislation went into effect.
Apple caught shit for going USB-C only on their laptops years ago.
If you have other Apple devices the Apple TV is the best option.
Plex makes an app for it, and infuse makes a fantastic media server client.
Also enables all kinds of useful home automation integration, and FaceTime via your television(this is a game changer).
Not subtle enough. Some conspiracy theorists think it’s about the Covid vaccine.
