I hesitate to say the B word on here but I changed my Bluesky handle to be my domain. It was pretty easy! https://blog.ultranurd.net/2024/11/22/bluesky-domain-handles/ Still really only active here though.

There's value in doing a de jure to de jure comparison and I endorse the several attempts to do such, but also from a practical standpoint I don't think it matters overmuch for where things are today. For where things are _tomorrow_? For where we can take things? It may matter, but not today.Today the only really meaningful analysis in this regard from a "debating which is better" standpoint is either de facto to de facto, or de jure to ideal.

@tankgrrl Gonna get me a shotgun and shoot all the whities I seeeeeee…

@chimera @cwebber There's more to social networking than the underlying protocol. There are also social elements, such as governance, moderation.As someone who has written extensively about various alternative systems, encryption systems, I know of Nostr but have little interest in using it or promoting it.

For anybody wondering, in MS Flight Simulator 2020, you’d stream some of the world imagery - but there was a full offline copy of Earth and airports in the install, and you’d download all airplanes and airports on first start. The game was playable offline. With MSFS 2024 they moved the client to be ‘thin’, where every plane, airport etc is streamed in real time. It doesn’t work. In the UK the Akamai cache is fine, but relies on Azure Front Door hosted backend - which usually times out.

@heyheymomo yes

The worst thing about blindness? It's not what you're thinking.It's that my 3D printer is easier to use than the average microwave because the 3D printer company made an app that works with screen readers, and the average Chad in UX for consumer products does not. Not sure what a screen reader is or how Blind people would ever use an app? Neither is Chad and Chad is legion
