i was going to say the better curation tools, but then i realized it’s definitely the clients for me, having the freedom to choose exactly how i want my experience to be is so amazing, and clients like photon just trounce stuff like reddit’s ui.

I like lineageOS more, because GrapheneOS includes google play, even while sandboxed i don’t like that
- Comment on Bluesky, decentralisation, and the distribution of 3 months ago:
all you have to do is
-
host your own PDS, where your account lives, this is easy, I do it myself already.
-
host you own appview: the only actually good appview is bsky’s, luckily it’s open source, unfortunately I do not believe they made it easy to self-host.
-
Host a relay, this isn’t all that hard, it just needs a real big server (AFAIK it needs a shitton of io throughput), so unless you’re very rich it’s not too realistic to host this.
So yeah, a PDS is easy to host but the other two parts are a pain, and since the protocol has only been open for a few months, people haven’t really done too much.
Frontpage exists, but they haven’t made it be able to interact with bsky.Social, although the accounts are shared. I have been told by people involved with that that that’s an issue with frontpage’s implementation, and not the AT protocol

? Thunderbolt is just a fancier usb-c, you can use a usb-c cable with a thunderbolt port and vice-versa.
Also apple used lightning before, not thunderbolt.

- Comment on Some (Slightly Biased) Thoughts On The State Of Decentralized Social Media - TechDirt 3 months ago:
Basically bluesky works with pds’s, that host account data, (i actually host my own), appviews, which manage the post sorting/algorithm and ui, and relays, that sit between the two and make it easier (theyre not strictly necessary, but make At-proto services much faster and more reliable).
Relays are expensive, and so bluesky’s relay is the only real one currently, not because theyre shutting other people out, because a relay is expensive. So currently you kind of have to use bluesky’s servers to use the AT protocol, but thatll change whenever someone has the resources to setup a good relay.

- Comment on Mozilla launches privacy friendly AI addon called "Orbit" 5 months ago:
Well, since you copy-pasted, i will likewise share my favorite take on thr situation.
After reading about the actual feature (more), this seems like an absolutely gigantic non-issue. Like most anti-Mozilla stories end up being.
The whole thing is an experimental feature intended to replace the current privacy nightmare that is cross-site tracking cookies.
As-implemented it’s a way for advertisers to figure out things like “How many people who went to our site and purchased this product saw this ad we placed on another site?”, but done in such a way that neither the website with the ad, nor the website with the product, nor Mozilla itself knows what any one specific user was doing.
The only thing I looked for but could not find an answer on one way or the other is if Mozilla is making any sort of profit from this system. I would guess no but actually have no idea.
There are definitely things that can be said about this feature, like “Fuck ad companies, it should be off by default” (my personal take), or “It’s a pointless feature that’s doomed to failure because it’ll never provide ad companies with information as valuable as tracking cookies, so it’ll never succeed in its goal to replace tracking cookies” (also my take). But the feature itself has virtually no privacy consequences whatsoever for anybody.
I’m absolutely convinced there’s a coordinated anti-Firefox astroturfing campaign going on lately.
