  • bluesky (or rather the underlying protocol, ATProto) is not actually decentralized. all public identity keys (signature keys) reside with a single entity (some non-profit organization in switzerland, PLC). if they get hacked, the hackers can forge any identity they want to.

    only the messages and media files are stored decentralized, and the user profile personal information (profile picture, bio, etc). but not the crucial signature keys.










  • yeah i agree. also it would be extremely impractical to guarantee a universal right to clean drinking water to everyone. consider that some crazy nutjob is gonna move to the middle of the arizona desert. there’s no sane way that the government could (somewhat economically efficiently) deliver clean drinking water there regularly. that would just go against any common human sense. people shouldn’t move to the desert, then complain there’s not enough water.

    guaranteeing clean drinking water can only be guaranteed in states that have actually fertile soil and enough precipitation to provide that water.



  • declare that they’re sovereign citizens with a right to convey fruits into their stomachs (different from eating)

    lmao that is exactly the type of bullshit that attorneys will try to push to get even the most unhinged things through.

    really reminds me of how the US argued that it could abuse iraq war prisoners because while the universal human rights chart forbids abuse of “soldiers and civilians”, iraqis were neither because they were “unlawful combattants” (a bullshit category introduced specifically to circumvent the human rights chart).
