Which client do you use?

For all that Russia is an imperialist police state, our e-government services are pretty slick too

That’s cute but as a rule when dealing with the government, physical access is root access

Yeah so far i’m happy with .ee and its mod/federation policy but it’s always nice to have backups

let me know if you find a good one (good chance it won’t federate with .world)

According to police sources, the three words “deny,” “depose,” and “defend” were carved into the live rounds and shell casings
…
The three words bear a striking resemblance to Jay Feinman’s [20]10 book Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claim and What You Can Do About It.

uhh could you clarify for me how the fediverse works? I thought it was like 90% mastodon which is very much the twitter format

There’s a one time purchase to remove ads and a subscription for features like machine translation or importing/exporting your communities. It’s $17 yearly or $100 lifetime

It might, but actual leftists should object to that framing

Not strictly speaking. Bluesky supports did:web as well as did:plc, and with any luck they’ll add more decentralized methods

Bluesky (well, atproto, bluesky is the twitter clone running on atproto as a demo app) doesn’t actually have instances in the mastodon sense, it’s a more modular design for better scaling (because it was designed from the start to replace twitter)

Here’s a good article with illustrations https://atproto.com/articles/atproto-for-distsys-engineers

The Atlantic is not left leaning journalism lmao. A good rule of thumb is that if you publish David Brooks you’re not left leaning

unless i’m missing something, activitypub also needs a centralized authority like dns. That’s just how domain names work

Here’s a really good blogpost (and followup thread) outlining the differences of atproto vs activitypub (from one of the original authors of activitypub).

It got a friendly “acknowledged, we’re working on it” reply from pfrazee, one of the lead bsky devs.

That the universal ports are worse for some purposes than the old specialized ones. I feel this especially for magsafe and analog audio

no, no, he has a point

Steam deck: am I a joke to you

Hey nobody said they’re not attractive to men

That post refers to hosting an appview that does all the same things as the official bsky (the service) one, which involves a ton of storage and bandwidth and processing (for everyone’s recommendations, notifications, and all the other moving parts), and is closed source to boot.

Frontpage.fyi is a lot cheaper simply because its used by like 50 people tops.
