I do! Thanks for the information it is another piece of evidence as to the sketchiness

The tech press is talking to your normie friends?

Because, despite being wildly impractical, it’s technically built on tech that COULD be decentralized.

Yes exactly, it reminds me of the logic of cryptocurrency boosters. I just found out that the bluesky CEO (not to mention jack dorsey) are both crypto advocates so it makes a lot more sense now.

As I brought up in the title of my post, she’s currently the highest level role at a morally questionable company. She has a pattern of behavior of working at morally questionable companies.

Because the claims of people involved with cryptocurrency are historically very untrustworthy, that’s why.

The thing that got me interested is that BlueSky says it’s “decentralized” but the more I look into it, it’s only “decentralized” using a very narrow, highly technical definition of the term “decentralized”.

Cryptocurrency is the same. People with a financial stake in cryptocurrency often say it is “decentralized” but it’s only true if you accept their extremely narrow definitions of what that word means.

A PDS still requires BlueSky’s servers

I don’t understand it at all. Where are all the supposed blueskys? It’s so easy to fact check.

I’m moreso curious if it federated in a literal sense. Is it even possible to participate without using bsky.app’s servers?

OK so it sounds like there is still just the single BlueSky that is “federated” with a handful of single-user BlueSkies?

Wait, there are 1600 BlueSky instances to join? Are they counting people using a custom domain name as an entire instance?

And yet oddly enough that is not the issue with the Section 31 movie

Yeah true, I suppose that kind of defeats my whole idea that Vulcans would self-destruct if they allowed emotions to control them.

I haven’t seen the episode yet that I think you’re alluding to, but yes Vulcans have always been presented as having a kind of Buddhist-style philosophy with the important qualification that they would literally destroy themselves as an advanced race without it. The “religion” is an important social technology to enable them to explore the cosmos.

It’s obviously alluding to humans too, if we can’t control our innate animal reactions like tribalism and greed then we too will not be able to harness our own (physical) technology without self-destructing.

Yeah like I said: “vibes”

This is actually really funny

I agree the Gamble plot was great and the actor nailed it.

XKCD 2501 applies in this thread.

OP, get CasaOS or Yunohost. Very very simple. Your laptop is fine (you’ll probably want to upgrade the ram soon).

They wanted to avoid another entrance/exit on screen to keep us guessing how this Star Trek Inception works.

I understand the reasoning from a suspense perspective but manufactured suspense does not feel suspenseful. Think about it: why show the entire long debate about leaving or not if none of them actually care? The only thing that makes sense is that once they understood the danger was real there was an off-camera conversation with Pike or Una wherein Pike or Una presumably told them that the danger was acceptable and to proceed. But if we accept that the conversation happened off-camera, then the presence of the debate scene doesn’t make sense from a storytelling standpoint.

Yunohost is great, Portainer is also useful.
