Which is not part of Bluesky, only proving the point having a central system controlling the data makes the data vulnerable.

Decentralization isn't done to hide the author, federating content works because the content is spread beyond a central owner. I don't know if you ever used a peer-2-peer network like you do when you torrent a movie, but the concept is very similar. It is harder to censor something because you have more places you need to censor.

Imagine you are in a country where a lot of information is censored and you want to spread a message. Would you pick 1 giant billboard in the city center or would you make a bunch of leaflets you secretly hand out to someone you trust, hoping they will give the information along to someone they trust etc? Obviously, one giant billboard is easier to take down by the censoring government. That is why decentralisation does in fact work against censorship.

Anonymity or 'layers of privacy' are useful if you don't want to be caught as the author of the message. In that case it is not about running the instance over Tor, but accessing the instance over Tor. You wouldn't even need to use tor if you can trust your computer isn't infected and you acces the instance through a VPN and remove all new data (e.g. cookies) from your pc before you disconnect your vpn.

You get it, they'll just do what they did with torrents and p2p networks. /s

But Turkey blocking acces to certain content is not the same as removing the content (which is what Bluesky does when they honour a request).

But now they are not targeting the person posting it, they are targeting the platform it is posted to. If we let them they can censor the whole internet Bluesky.

Can Turkey ask for any account/post to be banned regardless of where a post was written? For example, if I were to register there and called Erdogan a dictator who suppresses the Turks by breaking down the media and justice system and he is taking political prisoners; could he then ask BlueSky to get my account removed because i'm breaking a law in Turkey even though I am not in Turkey? That sounds totally crazy. Like from now on you can make laws on your citizens, your lands and all of the internet? What the fu. e: typo

No offense but I think your effort is wasted on the people (already) here.

On the one hand it is crazy, on the other hand I suppose you don't even need that many 'policemen' on the interwebs to clean it up compared to the amount of (secret) policemen you need to keep the physical country 'clean'.

Not an email provider but I've been using addy.io (https://addy.io/) for a few weeks now and I feel it deserves a shout out. They let you use email aliases to protect your real email. There is a good free option which I use.

I had been using DuckDuckGo's version (https://duckduckgo.com/email/) but they require you to use their browser on mobile or their extension on desktop. Also free.

I'm very happy with proton's service and products (email/calender/drive) so even with the asshole CEO it still feels like good choice. Maybe not as good as some other options out there, most likely would have chosen Tuta if I would switch now.

Threesday, coming straight after Twosday.

Also, who the hell posts stuff like this on LinkedIn of all places?

We should ask him this too. But I think the fact he doesn't have access to journalists but doesn't post anonymous does give him some credibility imho.

You can embed images with ![alt text](img url), which in this case is https://i.imgur.com/5z0UX0K.png instead of https://imgur.com/a/UTyahgs.

I always thought it was the water freaking out, but this clarifies things.

N for nvidea and no Microsoft?

Totally should suggest that to Japan time. Maybe also suggest l AMGAM or MAGMA, I like those too.

I'm replying to boost engagement.

In an unprecedented move, the Japan Fair Trade Commission on Tuesday issued a cease-and-desist order against Google for violating the country's anti-monopoly law by forcing manufacturers to preinstall the company’s apps on their Android smartphones.

This is the first time that Japan has issued such an order against any of the major U.S. technology companies referred to collectively as GAFAM — Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft.

That sure is some evil business tactic

Imagine companies explicitly mentioning the year it was fda approved and people talking about it like they do about a vintage
