Suddenly I’m worried about AI’s energy draw. “6 percent of global electricity” is not a small amount of electricity.

The model year and other relevant info is found in the first part of the VIN. There’s no legit reason for it to demand the whole thing, which it does.

Further searching turns up the information that “federated” Bluesky PDS instances are limited to ten user accounts each, and API usage limits which may constrain things further. So that would explain why there aren’t any big ones.

So far as I can tell they do all still “federate” through the central server, not directly with each other. So there being not much point in it may also explain why it hasn’t caught on.

Almost as bad as Threads, really.

Well, what’s a popular server? Are there several big ones? Sorry, but I really don’t understand why the answer isn’t turning up in web search results.

PS: Are you sure it isn’t just people who’ve done the “set your domain as your handle” thing but even so are still on the central one? Because even if they have made some small progress towards decentralization they absolutely have not gone so far that there isn’t still a central one.

Is it really? Seems hard to find out. Anyone have a list of Bluesky servers other than the central one with open signups?

tl;dr: Here’s everything you need to know about the fediverse, assuming you’re never going to use it. Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, Friendica. Now, back to our regular coverage of all the biggest social companies, including TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Reddit, as well as funding and acquisitions of new social startups.

I have no data on that. Cheaper and easier to get tlds like .world might be the most dangerous of all.

If it’s that bad, could you maybe give people a hint as to why we’d want to watch it and what it has to do with linux?

They’re probably just as dangerous as .com sites.

I’d not yet call it failed, but it’s not yet succeeded either. To my mind, one impediment is something that lemmy.world shares with today’s reddit: If you look at the front page it’s 99% memes and images. That’s the first impression people get, and it probably drives away a lot of people who might want anything else. We need those people to make more text-based communities come alive, if it’s to evolve into anything like the old reddit.

I mean obviously there are lots of people who do mostly want to see memes and that’s fine, but I think it’s getting to the point where it might be useful to have an option that filters out all posts that are just a title and an image.

Sure, the project is already bloated with so much complexity that what’s the harm in adding a little more? If you’re genuinely confused about it, see the entire rest of the Internet for details.

It has some advantages. It can be configured with simple text files and normal filesystem permissions. The sshd code is mature and has a proven record of good security. It doesn’t add yet another thing to systemd that has no business being part of systemd.

You should really be more specific. All of them have more content than netflix hulu vudu and prime video combined.

[false claims that] journalists gave the recent PS5 game Stellar Blade (pictured below) bad reviews because its female characters are too hot

That seems an inadequate way of summing up the Stellar Blade controversy which on the whole was considerably more ridiculous than that.

If it’s more than none at all that’s pretty good. But adhering to open standards is also a factor in how we should judge these providers which goes beyond that.

I don’t really understand GPU drivers so might be getting the wrong idea here, but it seems as if maybe what they’ve been exploring is overly complicated ways to avoid having fully open source drivers in the straightforward way that some of their customers are beginning to demand.

Things could at least become more convenient for nvidia users even if not much closer to the ideals of free software.

technically it doesn’t break e2ee

** for some unorthodox definition of e2ee

If the “endpoints” are defined as being somewhere outside the end users’ control, because for example the client software they have is designed to betray their secrets, then the system is no longer end-to-end encrypted in the way that both cryptographers and normal people would usually understand the concept.
