Good preview for what's going to happen to the new York times under the new admin :)

It might, but actual leftists should object to that framing

Not strictly speaking. Bluesky supports did:web as well as did:plc, and with any luck they'll add more decentralized methods

Bluesky (well, atproto, bluesky is the twitter clone running on atproto as a demo app) doesn't actually have instances in the mastodon sense, it's a more modular design for better scaling (because it was designed from the start to replace twitter)

Here's a good article with illustrations https://atproto.com/articles/atproto-for-distsys-engineers

The question of whether someone works for a government is not really a matter of opinion

The Atlantic is not left leaning journalism lmao. A good rule of thumb is that if you publish David Brooks you're not left leaning

unless i'm missing something, activitypub also needs a centralized authority like dns. That's just how domain names work

Here's a really good blogpost (and followup thread) outlining the differences of atproto vs activitypub (from one of the original authors of activitypub).

It got a friendly "acknowledged, we're working on it" reply from pfrazee, one of the lead bsky devs.

ejoy your cocp is now a part of my vocabulary

That the universal ports are worse for some purposes than the old specialized ones. I feel this especially for magsafe and analog audio

no, no, he has a point

I don't think most of the data in the network should be hosted by a single legal entity, that's just unhealthy even if the protocol is open. It's also my main complaint about bluesky- technically open protocol, de facto centralization.

I can agree both those things happened, but you're saying one of them had a much stronger effect and so far i'm not seeing any evidence presented

Steam deck: am I a joke to you

To be fair it was an underground religion in the west for a while too

Hey nobody said they're not attractive to men

No, the historical socialists are dead and buried. You need to engage with the workers where they're at, and where they're at is "brainwashed by tears of anti communist propaganda to the point of pavlovian triggers". Imo the least you can do is not use those specific words front and center.

The fact that the difference between Kamala and convict was so small is enough grounds by itself imo

That post refers to hosting an appview that does all the same things as the official bsky (the service) one, which involves a ton of storage and bandwidth and processing (for everyone's recommendations, notifications, and all the other moving parts), and is closed source to boot.

Frontpage.fyi is a lot cheaper simply because its used by like 50 people tops.

Because we live in a capitalist hellscape and the companies that implemented these tricks were the fastest growing segment of our economy for like 15 years (esp after the 2008 crash) so the government turned a blind eye. Now they control the world and are able to literally buy politicians
