To put it another way, ATProto is as decentralized as #Telegram is encrypted.

On #ATProto (the #Bluesky protocol)

Basically, in contrast to #ActivityPub, everyone has a decentralized identifier (DID) that is basically a hash ( z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur) which can be resolved to a DID document using a DID method.
That DID document will have things like your current handle and the current host of your data, so even if you move hosts, the DID hash will stay the same and by resolving the hash, your DID document will always have the info to reach you, this is good.

- Infographic showing the "Evolution of the Alphabet" from Proto-Sinaitic (c. 1750 BCE) to Modern Latin Script. Colorful arrows trace the development of each letter through Phoenician, Archaic Greek, Archaic Latin, and Roman scripts, culminating in the modern 26-letter alphabet. The image demonstrates how letter shapes transformed over time. (remote)

Can’t anybody at #WordPress / #Automattic take away Matt Mullenweg’s internet for a week before he causes more damage to himself and the community?
Putting a link to his petty whinging in the WordPress Events + News tab of every WordPress install is bonkers.

Took me 26 minutes to write this after reverse engineering the app. Enjoy!

Meta and friends – like Mastodon and Vivaldi – form Social Web Foundation.
May I be the first to say:
Fuck the Social Web Foundation.

I am so fucking sick of this bullshit happening over and over again. I’d say they’re useful idiots but, let’s face it, Mastodon aren’t idiots. Vivaldi aren’t idiots. They’re smart folks. They know full well what Meta is. They clearly just don’t give a shit.

I left the Social Web working group because of the eagerness of allowing known endorsements of digital violence having a say in the development of it.
And now it's also a big sponsor of the new Foundation. Since ethics, for most, tends to be a sort of T-shirt you can get a conference and not something that's a lived value, as with it all, I do not trust anything coming out of it and those places.

@rgadellaa For normies, understand that the APIs in question aren't "nice to have", they're foundational. Things as core as typing, scrolling, and even *app booting* have been broken for *multiple releases*, with no recourse.
Developers can't recommend better browsers when Apple breaks the web because Cupertino won't allow any on iOS.
It's straight-up anti-web and anti-user.

Meta.
They are not in this because they believe deeply in an open internet, or public discourse, or they want a diverse ecosystem.
Meta is involved because they see it as a way to exploit a massive set of users that have specifically chosen not to be a part of their machine.
Goddammit.

@rgadellaa Read alongside my piece from 2021 on Apple's delaying tactics on adding features at all[1], we can see the full arc of incredibly effective efforts to forestall an open, interoperable, standards-based competitor for the App Store.
Apple won't disrupt its rent extraction and won't let others try. Neat. Tidy. Anti-competitive.
There's a HN thread to upboat if you think this is as important as I do:

A deep and important piece by @rgadellaa that documents the gobsmacking history of showstopping bugs on iOS Safari:
https://webventures.rejh.nl/blog/2024/history-of-safari-show-stoppers/
Normally, a browser sucking would be a problem just for that vendor, who would lose share. But because of the #applebrowserban, Apple has nothing to fear. Instead, Apple continually breaks essential functionality it would *never* break for native developers.
The result? A web that can't compete, even when Apple *finally* gets around to adding features.

On Every Noise, I input an artist I like, find the micro genre Spotify has associated with it, then search that micro genre name on the Spotify app to discover more like that artist.
This process is one of my favorite ways to discover new music. How about you?

I need a filter for my own posts. For instance, I could set a filter for "uspol", and then every time I compose a toot with that in it and hit "Publish!", it ill be dutifully placed on my timelines so only I can see it but otherwise it is not actually sent anywhere else. And not even visible publicly or in rss feeds.
Actually, if it didn't even show up in my timeline it would be fine too. Just send that stuff to /dev/null, mx. computer. Save me the effort of filtering myself.
