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 …

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.

https://blog.elenarossini.com/w-social-a-broken-ghost-town/ Basically, because they didn't warn Bluesky that they were going live, they had their traffic heavily trottled and they …

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…

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 hap…

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, …

Good point…

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 sin…

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 th…

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 boi…

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 sup…

Another reason to use Gemini then. Less impact on gamers…

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 …

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…

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 …

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

Gambas is a modern, open source Visual Basic dialect in the style of VB Classic.

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 te…

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). Wh…

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.
