Yeah, I’m struggling to see a reason why anyone would run an AT replay and that’s probably by design.

I don’t disagree, Nostr, APub and AT are all responses to the centralisation of social media in the 2010s and they all bill themselves as decentralised protocols, so should be discussed together. I’m just less trusting of Bluesky as they’re VC backed and the general direction and vibe is very ‘tech bro’. The lack of private blocks is endemic of that, private data being a thing that has to added and not considered important from day one. APub, on the other hand, has a very FOSS-esque culture, which is what I love about it and probably why it’ll never go mainstream.

I finally understand why god remains locked behind his pearly gates.

Do my eyes deceive me or is this good news? From the Treasury???

Also in terms of expense I’ve seen it’s around $250 / month which equivalent to larger Lemmy instances, I think programming dev was around this price point so it’s not absurdly large.

I don’t know about prog dev, but Lemmy instances are fairly cheap to run, see this thread https://lemmy.world/post/19466047.

And to give my potential hot take, but I think what Bluesky and the AT protocol does should be called crawling instead of federating. If I understand things correctly, then what AT expects is for a replay to crawl the network looking for relevant data in PDSs, as opposed to APub where you push your data to the relevant places. I know this is semantics, but if we accept the Bluesky definition of federation then Google and Bing are federation services and that just doesn’t feel right.

One thing these kinds of articles that are designed to stoke generational conflicts never mention is that rich people live longer. Like, obviously older people would be proportionally richer, the poorer people from that generation are dead. Also, friendly reminder, all this stoking of generational conflicts does is distract us from the real divide in society.

This is the same Blackstone that spent half a billion in June on build-to-rent houses.

Clojure, a simple grammar but most of the vocabulary is imported from another language.

Yeah, it’s existence was incredibly brief near the API apocalypse. The domains isn’t currently registered, so someone could grab it now. Might be cool to have it redirect to feddit.uk.

Shout out to anyone who still remembers lemmy.org.uk, you only existed for like two days but I remember you.

I don’t, there was a weird bug with it that would repeatedly send thousands of activities to your instance causing federation to lag.

Ta-da!

Good day.

Making the public foot the bill for decades of under-investment as these companies paid out £10s of bns in dividends and continuing on with the failure of privatisation.

It’s the ship name of the two characters in the picture, Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee.
