Nothing that involves authoritative state of data can be decentralized. Ultimately something is a source of truth. Who decides what the torrent data is? Congratulations, your system is now centralized.
Decentralized systems are anarchist mastubatory fantasy, distributed systems are what runs the world.
This is a neckbeard dream, and it is why activity pub will never take off.
Grandma ain’t running her own instance, but she can swipe her card and get “grandmahotstuff.com” tied to her ATproto DID.
As long as the did is maintained by a neutral org like let’s encrypt, and icann remains functional, it’s a superior model, as those orgs are now tied to the functioning of the internet itself.
Decentralization is is unobtainable. You have to have a source of truth. DNS has shown us the way, everyone else is fucking around.
Gotta have a trusted org to manage identities.
Organized crime worries about legal issues all the time, and their whole purpose is crime.
Limiting liability, and plausible deniability, is a cornerstone of literally getting away with murder.
Pride goeth.
You can’t manufacture a gun for somebody else unless you’re a registered gun manufacturer. You can only make one for yourself. You can hypothetically sell/give a printed gun to someone if when you made it you didn’t intend on selling or distributing it, however many states require you to transfer that firearm via a dealer.
You would have to give/loan your cancer patient a 3d printer and maybe suggest a URL. They would have to construct the firearm themselves without help.
This shit is disingenuous as fuck.
That’s not how you criticize Biden! THIS is how you criticize Biden!
Let’s all criticize Biden.
After all we can’t afford to let someone misuse the office of the president.
Moving distros to get a new version of ruby is some amateur shit.
The distro ruby is for distro ruby app packages. It is not really meant for people to build their software against.
Fuck good, let’s have perfect.
Penises should be loved.
There are a thousand better takes on Elon being a nazi piece of shit than trying to trash the most advanced rocket company in the world with weak arguments.
NASA always uses third party contractors for launch vehicles, and spacex is the best rocket company. Nobody is even close to second place now that Boeing is in the business of producing death traps and national security risks.
You call Elon a terrible piece of shit, but that thankfully has little to do with Shotwells excellent leadership at spacex.
Bless this guys heart, but after the Dibble affair it is clear there is no point debating insane positions in front of an insane audience.
Bluesky will never be fully decentralized. The DID needs a central authority like DNS. Its architecture is distributed though.
Ideally the DID stuff is put into a foundation, and once the open source the other components anyone who can handle the fire hose can join.
This article has zero mention of this guy being a white supremacist. Like he is on video saying white people are the superior race.
Omitting this is enabling right wing extremism.
Until fediverse advocates stop thinking of people as simple minded, they will never understand the steps needed to be relevant.
The main advantage to Bluesky’s architecture is centralized identity and distributed components.
The centralized identity is key. Unless someone figures out a way to do this in activitypub, the fediverse will remain niche.
Nope. It’s over. Threads only had momentum from it automatically creating accounts for Meta users. Bluesky is organic.
I was young and stupid. Halfway through the date her conscience finally made the right call.
I once had a date with someone, when I showed up I discovered she had a boyfriend. Turned out she had expected him to be asleep when I picked her up.
He doesn’t have to be an Einstein-level genius to be an effective oligarch. Turning twitter into what it is was a smart move for him.
Take him seriously as a threat.
