theres also a critical ‘relay’ component required that so far only Bluesky runs, so not-so-federated.

there is no such thing as a 100% independent bluesky install to which people can attach also independent nodes (PDS).

you runnin your own relay or is it all ‘except the relay and appview’?

is this where we get to explain again why its not really ai?

i had this exact issue until i wiped my machine this summer and it refreshed into a full win11 after the crowdstrike debacle

i hate ms with every fiber of my being, but teams has gotten better. it used to be practically unusable. now its just mostly so

brazil jumped from twitter, that was a huge part of it. the election caused another wave.

bluesky is just twitter with faux-federation. it will end up with the same issues eventually when its board decides to recoup.

yes, its a chicken and egg problem and a huge hurdle for literally anyone trying to create new platforms.

its about feature parity (even if they dont really exist, re:account portability), marketing among other things. bluesky is run buy a bunch of big names who were able to draw an initial load of users which got their ball rolling.

its about blueskys volume reaching a ‘critical mass’ which will continue to then draw users.

huge groups (recently, brazil) moved there en-masse because it already had a ton of users.

its the same reason twiiter even still has users… they dont want to leave that volume of subscribers.

i really like the idea of civilization… but its so freakin scripted it feels like im playin someone elses story.

totk is almost a masterpiece, i would not hate more of that kind of game play/world experience.

why not both?

kinda sums up the entirety of the GOP platform

a rogue planet hitting this one would. i would expect a space faring race to want to move not only to the outskirts of the solar system, but possible attempt venturing to a new one. perhaps multiples.

but go ahead, keep thinking small for some reason. technology never advances dontcha know.

this isnt a problem, this is a feature.

Oh no, how will the universe ever recover from this tragedy?

yep, this is what people resort to when they dont have a real point. ‘so what?!’ pfft

huh? why do people have this innate ability to underestimate what we might be capable of? why do you think its impossible for us to become masters of our own genome?

not getting off this rock means our species is doomed regardless of how ‘perfect’ we keep earth.

youre still not thinking astronomically. you need to think bigger. i like to at least pretend out technology advances.

our planet could easily be wiped by a number of things. if we dont plan for a planetary catastrophe out of our control, our species is doomed.

i think you underestimate human ingenuity and the time frames involved.

yes.

if we want to become a true space faring species resilient to all that the universe can throw at us we will need both

ive found they help identify spammers pretty quickly
