No, nobody’s saying to give up, but impeachment is a dead end. After Trump is Vance, after him, it’s Mike Johnson, and after him…

You would have to remove the majority of the Republican Party. They’re not going to impeach or recall themselves.

The next steps are boycotts and sabotage.

They’re narcissists. They only care about how they look.

MacOS owns the developer/sysadmin laptop market.

He doesn’t have to be an Einstein-level genius to be an effective oligarch. Turning twitter into what it is was a smart move for him.

Take him seriously as a threat.

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.

There are a thousand better takes on Elon being a nazi piece of shit than trying to trash the most advanced rocket company in the world with weak arguments.

NASA always uses third party contractors for launch vehicles, and spacex is the best rocket company. Nobody is even close to second place now that Boeing is in the business of producing death traps and national security risks.

You call Elon a terrible piece of shit, but that thankfully has little to do with Shotwells excellent leadership at spacex.

Bless this guys heart, but after the Dibble affair it is clear there is no point debating insane positions in front of an insane audience.

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.

This article has zero mention of this guy being a white supremacist. Like he is on video saying white people are the superior race.

Omitting this is enabling right wing extremism.

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.

The free tier is pretty good for many people. It’s mostly Photos that ever push people into actually paying for an iCloud account.

I don’t use logic, but yeah the whole iWork suite, Freeform, Reminders, Notes. I think HomeKit data is also synced, and given how much data corruption happens in HomeKit as it is, I would dread any other complication.

There’s also the transparent encryption that happens where even Apple can’t get your stuff.

I mean I’d be a fan if Apple published a requirement spec for the iCloud api and opened it up to third parties, but it will be a lot to unpack and implement.

I believe guns increase the likelihood of suicide. There was a study on this, and lately firearm instructors have been conveying(in Utah at least) that removing guns from your home if suicidal is crucial. And to watch for signs of depression in other gun owners.

But I agree with your overall point. Removing the guns won’t eliminate those suicide deaths, only reduce them.

And more to my point, if RFK is in power when bird flu achieves human to human transmission, gun deaths will be background noise.

I’d rather have guns on every street corner than a pedo as attorney general, an anti vaxxer as the leader of health, and a racist rapist felon as president.

This is a losing issue that will cost more lives than the 30k a year they claim they will save.

This holds up for simple file hosting, but the entire suite of Apple apps supports collaboration, many with live editing features. Slow sync times would put a damper on that.

Dr jones naturals is still online.
