Sure you can host your PDS, but if you want to deploy your own instance like you would do with Mastodon, you need to deploy a Relay and an AppView as well. And the way the network works, you need beefy servers for that. On ActivityPub and N

No such problem on Mastodon/ActivityPub.

Or join a European Mastodon server and solve the problem at the root.

That is not the point. The point is that without talking with Bluesky, you cannot start your own ATProto product or you'll get throttled from the network.

But Bluesky does not solve these points: - content not in line with the political left is censored - sure, you have your data in your PDS, but it is de-facto useless if the central identity server of Bluesky goes down - ActivityPub and Nost

The nightmare of the Wsocial rollout is a testament of the massive control Bluesky has on the ATProto network. If Wsocial was on ActivityPub or Nostr nothing similar would have happened. ATProto has serious centralisation problems, baked in

Good. The vast majority of self-help books out there are ghost-written upsales trash.

You think Google cares. Google doesn't care they do not control iOS. Google cares to have their products everywhere. For many years Google apps were better on iOS than on Android, because on Android they just preinstall them while on i

To be honest, I wish Thunderbird would become part of LibreOffice, to become a real contender to MS Outlook/MS Office. Mozilla is managing Thunderbird as a second class citizen since way too long.

Really annoying, I was starting to use it for a few niche communities instead of Reddit. If they relaunch, I hope they develop something integrated with the fediverse. I believe the time to build walled gardens is over, plugging with the fe

Rust/Loco is unironically the most interesting framework right now. Loco follows up the Rails formula pretty closely, and makes easier to learn Rust by taking care of a load of boilerplate code.

I am keeping Facebook just because of a couple of Groups. My timeline is completely useless, I have an endless stream of suggested post and ads, nothing relevant to me. Meta is supposed to know me, I use Instagram quite a bit (following F1

They could have led the way to a social web using Google Reader. Make a Disqus-like comment section that shows the comments in RSS articles from Reader. Also Reddit, by empowering the GReader Groups capabilities. But no, let's copy Fac

Yep, luckily they represent a very small, albeit loud, minority of Linux users. The vast majority of Linux users are very happy to get an official GOG Galaxy for Linux. I hope they will plug into Proton and collaborate with Valve, but we re

Remember Valve released HL: Alyx to promote their first VR headset. It is not unreasonable to get a pair of titles to promote these two new products. A man can dream, but a new HL for the Steam Machine and a new Portal for the Frame would b

Exactly this point. Go and Rust produce native binaries, I wish C# had an official native compiler without the big runtime needs of .Net.

I tried bsky for one year, and I agree that I was getting mostly American politics… which as a European is just noise for me. I went back to Mastodon, it’s much better to follow tech people. And feedly for RSS to get all the news I can drea

The point is that Google is harming paying customers, and as a paying customer Proton respects me more and it is based in Europe, which is a big plus for me.

I already started to move most of my communications to ProtonMail. Looks like Google wants to force people to use the WebUI instead of email clients (no google ads on IMAP/POP). What's annoying is that they are impacting paying cu

I think the option to pay for more than 45 days backup is a smart way to get some cash. Kudos Signal for this.

Same. Just save the pictures in the camera roll and important messages in your notes app of choice.

Any plan for an iOS version? Most musicians use Apple platforms, so focusing only on Android could be limiting.

The main issue of GNUStep was that, when KDE appeared, the GNU project used GTK+ as a base for GNOME, instead of GNUStep. This basically killed the momentum behind GNUStep as a base for the official GNU Desktop. It is sad because GNUStep is

Is this the distro created by a MS employee? I wonder if this is a weird tasting the waters for an eventual MS Azure Linux Desktop Edition...

I’m confused. What’s the point of the article? How’s the author compromised by the Mossad? What would the attack be?

Bluesky is not a real decentralized system as the company behind it say. Bluesky (the company) controls most key parts of the network, and it is basically impossible to setup a really decentralised alternative provider for the ATProto netwo
