Are you saying the AT Protocol is not self-hostable, or that BlueSky isn't? Because if it's possible to create a BlueSky competitor that uses the AT Protocol, then this criticism isn't valid. If someone can in theory create an open source BlueSky clone, then it seems like it renders Activity Pub redundant. I'm genuinely curious, I have been trying both out for a while.

I would hope all AI is designed smart as a starting point
Mental gymnastics
Photography exists!
We can admit that that is not the appeal of AI image generation and does/will not happen very often
Could someone explain the criticism of BlueSky to me, i.e. that it's less decentralised? Isn't the AT Protocol set up in such a way that you could build your own social network using it, meaning you can interact with BlueSky users without being one yourself?
As I understand it, the critical flaw with Mastodon and Lemmy etc is that if I delete something on my profile it isn't guaranteed to be deleted on other servers - that is unfortunately unacceptable in the long run for most people. And account portability isn't clean, and you are at the whim of your server operator. How is it better?
Stock images can be used over and over and over and over...
Those are the ones I tried, they were definitely the best in terms of price and the mobility was good enough for walking etc. I just found that they got a bit too tight for me in a full squat for example. I did purchase them but ended up returning them, I was very close to keeping them. I'd suggest trying them on/ordering them and see how you feel, and you can always return :)
I've been searching for the same thing - a PFA/PFC free shell to go over my regular trousers. I've tried these three and haven't had any luck with any of them:
-
Patagonia Torrentshell: I could hardly take a full stride in these, and sizing up was like wearing oversized parachute pants
-
Marmot equivalent: Much more mobility, but just not enough for me to pedal on a bike without the pants becoming very taut. I fear they'd rip after a while.
-
Outdoor Research equivalent: Satisfactory mobility, but for some reason the ankle cuffs are really wide - water would definitely splash up inside these if you were walking through puddles, so it feels like they miss the mark a little especially considering these are a bit more expensive than the others.
I'm still looking, open to recommendations!
Many thanks for sharing this, I will read it and then come back with my thoughts!
