I have to wake up at 5:30 every morning

It’s pretty concise, actually.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but permanent daylight time is bad for public health.

It’s worse for your sleep and for your health.

If we had year-round DST, the sun wouldn’t rise until after 8 AM in the winter.

He’ll probably fuck it up by pushing for year-round DST (where the sun wouldn’t rise until after 8 AM in the winter).

This is only great news if you are Mark Zuckerberg and you want a near-monopoly on social media.

Check out Bazzite. It even has a GNOME variant.

Fuck. What now?

Unfortunately, Bridgy Fed is currently opt-in. For a Bluesky user to interact with a Mastodon user, both have to follow the Bridgy Fed account. There is ongoing discussion about Mastodon instance opt-in, and making Bluesky opt-out.

I highly encourage you to participate in this conversation as a Mastodon user.

Well you can nicely ask your instance admin to block Bridgy Fed

Bluesky’s ActivityPub support is also leagues better than Threads because of Bridgy Fed. At least a Bluesky user and a Mastodon user can follow each other and have a back-and-forth conversation.

1. As far as I know, there aren’t any yet. Even if there were, I personally wouldn’t trust them for the same reason I wouldn’t use any Mastodon instance besides mastodon.social: if the PDS shuts down abruptly, your account is gone forever.
2. Bluesky and ATProto are designed specifically to hide the ways in which it’s decentralized.
3. I think this post does a good job visualizing how AtProto is different from ActivityPub.

This is for if you want to host parallel infrastructure. If you only want to self-host your own data, the instructions create a PDS are here, and the instructions to migrate an existing Bluesky account to that PDS are here.

Blame Apple I guess

As a matter of fact, Bluesky originally was supposed to become Twitter’s back end, but it was spun off when Elon took over. Jack Dorsey left and is now promoting nostr and X.

Bluesky is way more approachable than Mastodon. Most people don’t want to have to learn what an instance is.

For most Americans, that’s not feasible.

I’m begging google to just bring back YouTube Premium Lite and expand it

I think it belongs at the very bottom of the page.
