  • Because the claims of people involved with cryptocurrency are historically very untrustworthy, that's why.

    The thing that got me interested is that BlueSky says it's "decentralized" but the more I look into it, it's only "decentralized" using a very narrow, highly technical definition of the term "decentralized".

    Cryptocurrency is the same. People with a financial stake in cryptocurrency often say it is "decentralized" but it's only true if you accept their extremely narrow definitions of what that word means.

  • A PDS still requires BlueSky's servers

  • I don't understand it at all. Where are all the supposed blueskys? It's so easy to fact check.

  • I'm moreso curious if it federated in a literal sense. Is it even possible to participate without using bsky.app's servers?

  • OK so it sounds like there is still just the single BlueSky that is "federated" with a handful of single-user BlueSkies?

  • Wait, there are 1600 BlueSky instances to join? Are they counting people using a custom domain name as an entire instance?

  • "Chat app" like texting/whatsapp?

    Or "chat app" like Discord/Slack?

    For the former, Signal is going to be the one your friends and family will actually use. For the latter there isn't anything really approaching the same level yet. Matrix/Element is making a good effort but absolutely not there yet, especially on mobile.

  • This is actually really funny

  • Yunohost is great, Portainer is also useful.

  • Falling asleep watching TNG or Voyager I can understand, but every moment of DS9 must be savored. You sir are worse than Gul Dukat.

  • What are you paying for BackBlaze and Cloudflare?

  • Do you have a source for that? This chart says otherwise:

  • Windows is only 12% of Microsoft's revenue, and between Mac, Linux and ChromeOS, it really doesn't have a monopoly anymore on desktop (about 70%). On top of that, desktop usage in general is decreasing, and is already less than 50% of all web traffic.

    What I'm saying is that I think it's safe to say something else will likely "kill" Windows long before Linux ever becomes a serious threat to it.

  • It wasn't.

  • yeah but mastodon has thousands of owners and bluesky has one so its different see

  • lol yeah ok buddy

  • they literally do? what do you think state lines even do?

  • oh wow.... two
