All true.
With that said, Bluesky has had one hell of a growth month - not just from Brazil - and that’s nice.

Technically Luxembourg. But Ireland is #2 by both GDP per capita and by mean income.
While I agree this is inconvenient, this sounds like something on Wikipedia to address.
I think it’s going to be a losing battle to try to not only make everyone everywhere aware of the problem, let alone convince them to put in the (admittedly minimal) effort every time to deal with it.
Apparenrtly the “plan” would only drop Twitter down to $2B a year.
That plus Musk putting in whatever’s needed - it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
Now, if people mass left the platform, that would change things. But it’s still suuuuper popular, because people fucking suck.
$2B of advertising, even.
If they’re still on track to do 1.92B this year, that is far more than people had been saying and far, far too much.
Nope, seems cool to me.
Weird :)
There was a Twitter app for Android TV?
Unfortunately a bunch of people do want to see that shit.
If it gets used at all, that would be the best case scenario.
And it might even go down like things have with GM and their blocking Android Auto and Carplay (affecting their bottom line). And it might even affect enough that they’d stop.
But that’d be the beat case scenario (still feasible, even in hypercapitalismworld. But unlikely)
It is. Autocorrect and bad proofreading. Thanks, fixed.
Also a bunch of hinky weirdness and slowness.
The Technology Connections guy (Alec) threw some shade on Mastodon yesterday that seemed like a good example:
My favorite thing about Bluesky is that I haven’t gotten a stream of notifications that I’ve been tagged in a post on a weird fork of the software which my client doesn’t parse correctly so I only see one side of a conversation.
way too dumb
Or, more likely in most cases, don’t care and don’t want to care.
They didn’t say copyright, they said patent.
So you’re saying you side with the terrrists!
Which model Dell?
Buying few-year old enterprise gear can be a really cost-effective way to get a ton of power and expandability. But the noise, footprint, and power requirements seem pretty niche, even for homelab/selfhost people.
But I’m curious if you’re talking about a full-depth rack system like I’m assuming, or something else.
Personally, I switched to a handful of very small-footprint systems (mostly NUC/SFF PCs, and some laptops). And use cheap jbod enclosures when I need to add external storage.
I’d like to like Mastodon better. I’d like it - ot a simular open, decentralized platform - to be the one that everyone uses, if anything.
However, I do not like it as much. And Bluesky is getting the momentum, which is important.
They’re also at least theoretically relatively open and decentralized (but we do all know how that would go long-term)
But like you said, either is dramatically better than Twitter. Heck, just having many healthy options is good.
