  • I’m no expert, but I found this blogpost insightful: BlueSky is cosplaying decentralization

    The more I read about BS’s protocol, the more I think this is done on purpose.
    Why? Because it allows BS to pay lip service to decentralization, without actually giving away the power in the system.
    […]
    Another pretty good sign that BS’s decentralization is actually b.s. is the fact that the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) used by BlueSky are currently “temporarily” not actually decentralized. The protocol uses something imaginatively called “DID Placeholder”. If I were a betting man I would bet that in five years it will keep on using the centralized DID Placeholder, and that that will be a root cause of a lot of shenanigans.
    […]
    it decentralizes the cost to the central authority by pushing data load onto volunteers, while planning to keep control by being the biggest kid on the “reach” block.






  • Browser: Firefox, gonna name stuff i don’t see mentioned yet


    ‘Multi Account Containers’ + ‘Container Tabs Sidebar’ + ‘Switch Container’ + ‘Temporary Containers’ + ‘don’t care about cookies’ ‘Consent-o-matic’
    basically allows you to easily have multiple accounts on websites while also making sure everything stays contained to its own bubble, and anything I don’t have a dedicated container for gets a temporary container that deletes the cookies after a bit in order for me to both not care about cookies and also not get any cookies. at this point mostly because I don’t like accidentally having an account on a non-contained instance

    ff2mpv - easily launch videos in mpv, requires a bit of setup

    Image Search Options - finding the source of most drawings, spotting which anime a clip is from etc

    Yomichan for quick access to locally installed dictionaries (for Japanese in this case)
    Toggle Clipboard




  • My main needs are gaming

    Most gaming needs, you’ll have to check protondb to see if you’d be comfortable not being able to play certain games. (games not on steam, you can look to Lutris for community made installers)
    While Gold and Silver means games require slight setup (setup is usually explained by user-reports), Platinum means you’re good out of the box, Borked means no chance, you especially want to watch out if your game has an Anti-Cheat (and read the latest user-reports on the game if you’re truly desperate to see if things changed in the last week, like sometimes something like Gundam Evolution quietly enables the linux option in EasyAntiCheat)
    If you have a steamaccount, you can log in to get the list of games that you already own on that account to easily see their ratings

    local AI

    Guides are straightforward, you just have to worry about whether you have nvidia or amd

    browser stuff

    no issues



  • I’m sorry for the level of discourse I’m about to engage in, but Zuckerberg knows Jiujitsu, I think if Musk had any actual training in any skillful way of fighting we would’ve seen it - the dude probably knows Zuckerberg knows jiujitsu, maybe he was just hoping that he would ignore the challenge? lmao

    [Musk] has talked about being in “real hard-core street fights"

    dude’s gonna break his back if he doesnt back out last minute
