Well I'm neither "work" nor a "school", I'm sort of like a freelancer so I'm using my personal copy.

The Bluesky user experience is lightyears ahead of Mastodon.

I find this kind of thing particularly questionable because I like many people am often dealing with documents and text which I do not have the right to share with anybody even if I wanted to.

A worthy goal in itself, and doubly so when it also helps Ukraine.

Having the same sample of one civilization, it has never been particularly deterred by threats of evil and curses on those who enter. If anything, that only increases its curiosity.

What does that have to do with Russia and Ukraine?

The concern is that without true federation Bluesky is still for all intents and purposes a corporation-controlled social media, just like Twitter, and therefore subject to the exact same enshittification cycle.

I'll believe they'll add true federation when it happens. Color me sceptical, but I'll be happy to be proven wrong.

As far as I'm aware, you can host your own Bluesky server, but the main servers don't federate with anybody else so it's a moot point.

I feel like Facebook is much worse for that, but I haven't touched Facebook in many years so I couldn't tell you why I feel that way.

Wait what, Syncthing is dead? But it's what I use!

I'll keep running W10 on my current machine, but when I build the next one I'm very seriously considering going Linux. My only concern is that many of the software I use regularly don't have Linux versions.

That's a big point in the video, the creator also thought that they're just glorified convection ovens. But it turns out that air fryers and convection ovens are optimized for different tasks so the food comes out differently, and there are other advantages to an air fryer too, depending on the situation. Just because they use the same technology doesn't mean they do the exact same thing.
