  • That is why I said design and not implemented and perfectly working

  • They are fundamentally different, the whole ActivityPub federation vs ATProtocol decentralization has been talked to death in technical detail.

    Yes, migration of a user account from one instance to another would be complicated… but … so would migrating a user from one PDS to another.

    Not true. Bluesky has PDS migration in its design. In ActivityPub it is simply not possible

  • For relays yes, but for PDS that's not at all true. The PDS architecture lets you own your data and migrate it away from Bluesky servers or even from the BS apps, when/if they will be available. Something that ActivityPub severely lacks. Try to migrate your account from one Lemmy instance to another.

  • That Relay chokepoint is a serious architecture flaw, even for the central company running it (Bluesky). They might fix it in the future, but I doubt it's high priority for them.

    In July 2024, running a Relay on ATProto already required 1 terabyte of storage. But more alarmingly, just a four months later in November 2024, running a relay now requires approximately 5 terabytes of storage https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/

    The cost of running a full-network, fully archiving relay has increased over time. After recent growth, our out-of-box relay implementation (bigsky) requires on the order of 16 TBytes of fast NVMe disk, and that will grow proportional to content in the network. We have plans and paths forward to reducing costs (including Jetstream and other tooling). https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3lbvbtqrg5t2t

  • That's sound in theory, but app developers don't really test on low end phones, so the apps tend to get more and more bloated as time goes by. As soon as you need something with a map, you're pretty much fucked. Looking at all the hiking maps that just get progressively worse without adding anything that I care for.

  • A cynical explanation would be using the EEE theory to explain all of this.

    A more nuanced one would be that corporations benefit from open source since it creates an easier pipeline to onboard engineers and they also benefit from the free labor that people put into the projects out of passion. Whether they want to kill OSS after embracing it is debatable, but they definitely want to have as much leverage on it as possible.

  • Yes, also remember to completely avoid Typescript and C# since they are also Microsoft. And Rust since heavy ties to Amazon. Don't look for a job on Linkedin (where most listings are posted) because that's also Microsoft. Actually, just to spare you the time, avoid programming altogether and do something like farming, since no Big Tech influence there. /s

  • I mean, does it really matter? Are you going to read 100 responses on a single post? I feel from Reddit that the larger communities get the shittier they get. More people = smaller intersection of common ground, which leads to dull content and repeating platitudes.

  • I wonder why all these high profile people are so fascinated with a dictator that oversaw the transformation of a republic into an empire. Just like fascists were/are. Must be just a coincidence! Just like that Musk salute from the heart.

  • an article from British tabloid The Sun reporting that King Charles III was making a "secret offer" to the White House, and that plans are in process for the U.S. to become an associate member of the international organization.

    Ah yes, the classic cuck king making deals to give more power and alliances to a fascist. What can possibly go wrong? Let's ask Vittorio Emanuele III and Michael I of Romania.

    This is why monarchy has to be destroyed, every single atom of it.
