idk OP… this is a lot more effort than I put into things idgaf about.

Falling asleep watching TNG or Voyager I can understand, but every moment of DS9 must be savored. You sir are worse than Gul Dukat.

What are you paying for BackBlaze and Cloudflare?

Do you have a source for that? This chart says otherwise:

Windows is only 12% of Microsoft’s revenue, and between Mac, Linux and ChromeOS, it really doesn’t have a monopoly anymore on desktop (about 70%). On top of that, desktop usage in general is decreasing, and is already less than 50% of all web traffic.

What I’m saying is that I think it’s safe to say something else will likely “kill” Windows long before Linux ever becomes a serious threat to it.

Slop sites made by GPT get fed into LLM training data hoping to influence the “search” results. Ted Chiang was right when he said “ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web”.

It wasn’t.

yeah but mastodon has thousands of owners and bluesky has one so its different see

lol yeah ok buddy

they literally do? what do you think state lines even do?

oh wow… two

Glad we agree that BlueSky is a centralized service.

Its cute how they pretend at protocol is being used by anyone not named bluesky

You need to explain why a mastodon instance in a state without those laws care what a different state does

ActivityPub instances can do whatever the hell they want, the point is that no CEO decided who has access to all of it.

That’s great to hear thanks

Can anyone with Bazzite experience tell me how it handles games with third party launchers like EA or Ubisoft? You can’t seem to be able to escape those these days and they are buggy even on Windows so I don’t have high hopes for Linux.

I agree 100%, BlueSky is not decentralized.

incorrect actually

But you are evading. The technicalities you speak of are irrelevant to the topic of censorship. The fact that parts of BlueSky are technically open source, or that other BlueSky apps exist is irrelevant to the people who are functionally denied access to speak due to the decision of a single company. There is no other “instance” we can go sign up on like with ActivityPub apps.

(Here is the part where you say I could technically get all my friends to self-host their own PDS as though it is easy and fun).
