  • How decentralized Bluesky is compared to the Fediverse.

  • IMO, setting it up at home is not the bar for decentralization.

    That's exactly where I set the bar.

  • I'm not sure it's a one-to-one fit.

    It's not a community; it just hosts images. There's no comment section, for example.

  • Why do it, then?

    Is this a proof of concept/MVP build, so they can iterate more efficient versions? A vanity project? A mistake?

  • Louisiana Senator: Our Maternal Death Rates Are Only Bad If You Count Black Women

    Jump

  • He continued: "Now, I say that not to minimize the issue but to focus the issue as to where it would be. For whatever reason, people of color have a higher incidence of maternal mortality."

    Maybe you should look into that, Senator.

  • What's your country's version of the blue/green bubble?

    Jump

  • You asked a legitimate question, and I provided three sources describing the phenomenon.

    Just because you haven't experienced it personally (or met people who have) doesn't mean it's not real, either.

    Plenty of people haven't met a gay or trans person in their life, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist or that issues they face should be dismissed out of hand.

    Dismissing the question doesn't add to the conversation. If you don't want to engage with the question, that's fine. Don't comment. Just downvote and move on.

    The "Blue" vs. "Green" Bubble War is Insane.

    Grace Fang, 20-years-old, said she too saw such social dynamics among her peers at Wellesley College in Massachusetts. “I’ve had people with Androids apologize that they have Androids and don’t have iMessage,” she said. “I don’t know if it’s Apple propaganda or just like a tribal in-group versus out-group thing going on, but people don’t seem to like green text bubbles that much and seem to have this visceral negative reaction to it.” Ms. Fang added that she finds the hubbub silly and that she prefers to avoid texting all together.

    ‘I’ve had people with Androids apologize that they have Androids and don’t have iMessage,” said Grace Fang.

    Jocelyn Maher, a 24-year-old master’s student in upstate New York, said her friends and younger sister have mocked her for exchanging texts with potential paramours using Android phones. “I was like, Oh my gosh, his texts are green,’ and my sister literally went, Ew that’s gross,’” Ms. Maher said.

    She noted that she once successfully persuaded a boyfriend to switch to an iPhone after some gentle badgering. Their relationship didn’t last.

    Such interactions have made fertile ground for memes on social media. During the pandemic, Jeremy Cangiano, who just finished up his MBA at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, dealt with his boredom on TikTok, quickly noticing that blue-bubble-green-bubble memes were popular among young people. He tried to cash in on it last year by selling his own merchandise that touted, “Never Date a Green Texter.”

    They'd like to have a special name, but they're literally just a bog-standard poser.

  • If Anubis is so great, why isn't it everywhere?

    I agree that it's a legit question, though.

  • Top 50 news websites in the US in July: BBC drops five places as paywall introduced; Most report traffic declines.

    Jump

  • The report doesn't clearly establish a link between paywalls and a drop in site visits (which I would have liked to see).

    One of the un-paywalled sites lost traffic mostly due to changes in the Google algorithm.

    Overall, it just seems like a regular update of the website traffic rankings, juiced up by a clickbait headline.

  • An Open Letter to Kickstarter Creators: Why We, Kickstarter United, Are Fighting for a Four-Day 32-Hour Workweek

    Jump

  • Since April 2022, Kickstarter employees have worked under a four-day, 32-hour workweek... During this time, Kickstarter experienced the most successful period in its 16-year history, hosting some of the biggest, most groundbreaking projects ever launched on the platform.

    ...

    As we entered contract negotiations with management, we asked them to make the four-day, 32-hour workweek permanent—not as a pilot or a promise, but as policy. We also included flexible provisions that would allow management to temporarily return to a five-day work week in the event of true business need, ensuring creators and backers are fully supported throughout the week. They have refused and are determined to retain the ability to make us work 25% more hours for no additional compensation. In other words, they want the option to make us work more for free.
