Things never change, companies never break promises, shareholders never hold power over decision, people can not be bought

Those would all have to be true in order for anyone to have a reason to put trust into Bluesky.

Meta auto created threads accounts for all instagram users iirc so they kinda forced thwir way into the market by pre inflating their numbers.

Now thats a banger

It will ofcourse still be very filtered in regards to legal grey areas like piracy and porn i assume. But even then for everything else we really need a functioning search engine.

Thats an advantage so thin it is almost invisible. Its a centralized platform, it could be bought by Elon or shutdown for whatever reason at any second. Being this shortsighted about the future of global communications systems is not a great idea when Trump is about to take office.

Perhaps. Overall Bluesky is massive already tho. Twitter has something like 220 million users with Bluesky being around 14 million. Having 6% of the user count of Twitter is already beyond critical mass for the average user. People will be able to satisfy their microblogging itch on bluesky which means they wont go back. It has all the drama, porn and politics that twitter had.

No, and it doesnt federate even though they promised that a long time ago. Unless they do, they will inevitably also go to shit, there is no way around the enshittification pipeline. Just stick to mastodon and invest in a long term future.

For a slightly more detailed explanation: https://pluralistic.net/2024/11/02/ulysses-pact/#tie-yourself-to-a-federated-mast

This is additional new users not total users. Growing by 0.67% of the user count of the largest microblogging platform in the world in a week is absolutely massive.

While they do affect the skyline, i find them kind of a great. Its like wind turbines, they serve a very easy to understand purpose and exist for everyone while having only little environmental impact and lasting a lomg ass time. Compared to infrastructure like starlink which will only ever serve a few people, obstructs the entire sky for everyone from any angle and will only function for a few(5) years before having to be replaced.

Its an aosp feature i believe, but its disabled on many phones. Graphene and calyx have it. With calyx its default off, but you can set it between 1 and 72 hours. Very handy feature.

systemd meme

I feel like its on purpose but i also feel like web designers are often incompetent with stuff like that. So im undecided.

Honestly in my experience all issues with decryption have been solved for more than a year. No matter if im using android, web or desktop. Idk about apple shit but thats just not a priority probably.

Todays desktop release finally enables the new voice/video calls/rooms feature which was the last serious complaint i had.

If every single person that uses adblock decided to move to Firefox

This is the hypothetical we are talking about. This is obviously not realistic so i dont know what your point is.

Nah it would make a big dent for sure.

Firefox has ~180 million users

Amount of users using adblockers is ~900 million.

It would massively change the market.

Numbers according to mozilla and statista

Im down with vance making another 180 and leaking internal trump secrets and shit.

Best i can do is commercialized privately owned slave space travel organized by daddy musk.

This is not about the removed maintainers. Its about this comment section.

The irony of your comment is not lost on me.

But yeah if you were to measure a country by its loudest voices then that would be accurate.

You/They cant claim copyright on LLM generated text. So its purely for analysis and statistics i would presume. But its odd because if you change the text too much the system will fail.
