I’m pretty sure the market share for Firefox would grow. Maybe even 5-10% which would potentially put it at total of …. 15%

They would be huge, but to think Firefox would ever be the popular browser is probably a bit too optimistic. That ship sailed long time ago.

Chrome/Google is pretty messed up junk these days and no one cares.

Or NTP sync

From decentralised perspective the verification data is stored in the verifiers PDS rather than having the verified-certificate in the subjects PDS which means this particular check is always for the official BlueSky server only and won’t be federated anywhere else. Other potential servers are free to implement their own (potentially different!) local verification scheme with it, but it’s never going to be network wide and it never federates anywhere except the server where it’s implemented.

This is why I commented earlier about their decision to move to ”traditional” social networking space and away from decentralised networking

I think at this point it’s pretty clear that BlueSky is in the traditional social media business instead of being in the decentralized social media business.

Maybe that’s a good decision for BlueSky, they certainly seem to have the growth at the moment, but I think we probably have to forget the dreams of it ever pushing the decentralization angle again.

DNS?

So SS7 vulns have been known since 2008 and publicly written about since 2014. Various cybersecurity agencies have been regularly warning people for years. Before watching some random 12 minute YouTube video, you could at least summarize if there’s any new research in it?

Well you’ll hate to hear who contributes most to the linux kernel in that case…

If it’s for work, I’d suggest using whatever works for you best. Sounds incredibly frustrating so I don’t know why’d you be so set on ditching windows. Use the tools that work for you. Having said that, I’ve been running Linux since early 0.99 kernels and Debian since 1.3 and stability is really unmatched these days.

Your screen flicker issues with browser sound like hardware acceleration related bugs and I’d hazard a quess that random freezes and reboots have something to do with graphics drivers as well. But of course it’s impossible to tell without logs, which you didn’t provide.

At least it wasn’t an empty netter.

Being able to find them if they run away?

I generally try to use RSS feeds, but I’ve come to realize this doesn’t really work too well with current-/world news, because it becomes a firehose that drowns my entire feed. So these days, I just have my other interests in RSS feeds and use the BBC and The Guardian front pages to quickly get a summary of current events. I also visit my local newspaper site for headlines (they put their stuff behind paywall though, so it’s just headlines).

I’ve culled my social media to Lemmy and Mastodon and I use pretty aggressive word filtering on Mastodon to get rid of topics I’m not very interested in.

It’s not perfect by no means, but I haven’t really found anything else that works. I wish I had some better way to follow European and African news and commentary, but everything (apart from manually visiting sites) seems to always result in a firehose of news that drowns all other sources.

I use Firefox on my Android to access Bluesky. It’s much better than their official app, because Bluesky notifications are hell on earth.

It’s spez so of course they’re going to go for NSFW subs. Pretty sure that’ll just cause people to move to Onlyfans and other, already NSFW platforms.

Can’t really see anyone paying for sub access apart from porn.

All of them have really bad audio and as such, they’re completely useless.

Siis näkyyhän se ihan tänne ulospäin myös.

En jaksa katsoa miten just sopuli voi, mutta yleinen fediverse trendi ollut alaspäin (aktiiviset käyttäjät). Jengit meni kai takaisin redditiin ja twitteriin sen alkuinnostuksen jälkeen.

I’ve been politically active most of my life and I’ve voted (I’ve got a dual citizenship, so I can vote in two countries, which I’ve done), however, as I’ve grown older and am now nearing retirement age, I’ve realized the futility of it all. The same elite politicians are still in power. They still top their party ballots (“the big names”, “heavy hitters”) and normally get auto-elected to the parliament. They are creatures that live within the system and thus the system never changes. Issues haven’t been solved - at most we’ve reached some kind of muddled centrist consensus and agreement that “this is what it is” - there’s actually very little reform and every mandate period with sways a bit, like a wave reaching to hit the beach to wash away the sand castle but not quite reaching.

The old truism of “people being more conservative as they age” has been completely opposite for me. In my youth I was probably liberal, slightly right leaning democrat - these days I’m very firmly anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist libertarian socialist and believe in self-governance and workers’ self-management. I organize whatever I can in my local community but I’ve stopped voting (I don’t resent anyone else for voting - please do if you believe it’s useful).

When it comes to the political system in the U.S - I have opinions of course. Largely irrelevant, since I don’t live there, but I find it hard to “fix” something that wasn’t designed to be fixed in the first place. Cory alluded to it in his post, but the founding form of the union was not really intended for greater social justice, cultural realization or to allow the repressed to politically participate. It was for a small group (the political elite) to rule on behalf of wealth of the nation, and the majority’s decision-making was confined to choosing among a select number of their peers within tightly controlled elective processes.

It sort of “consensual domination” made possible by the concentration of global capital, which allows concentration of political power. I think it’s hard to fix something that was designed to sail off course. I think the better option would be to change the system.

But I don’t deny that we could make it better. Considerably so. Many of those things you list would improve and reform. But in the end it would still be the same system.

Sorry for the wall of text. Not sure if that made much sense - I hope it was somewhat coherent and not just my braincells having a spat of ADHD.
