Oh, I misunderstood. So you mean federating with their network from other software implementing the AT Protocol? From skimming the docs it looks like it should be possible as long as you implement the correct schemas, but I didn’t dive very deep.
Self-hosting a Bluesky PDS means running your own Personal Data Server that is capable of federating with the wider Bluesky social network.
You need C++ for computer science, though!
Oh yeah, one is way better than the other! But the lack of actual representation is still creating an “us vs. them” mindset that is straight up ruining democracy.
It’s why ~40% of Americans didn’t vote in 2024.
Well, I’m sure that the first past the post voting system that created two giant parties pretending to each represent half the population, while in reality only representing slightly different billionaires, has something to do with that as well…
Well, that sucks 😅 Sounds like you should live in an apartment/condo! Still won’t escape the cleaning, though…
Doing something you don’t like for yourself feels quite different from doing it for someone else, though.
Most people who do something they don’t like for a living does that thing purely because it is the thing that makes some shareholder more money. All (or most of) the meaning has been sucked out, and that definitely has something to do with capitalism.
Of course we’ll probably never get to the point where everyone loves every day of their job, but injecting some value (that isn’t purely monetary) back into work would do wonders, IMO.
If you can’t see it, then that is your loss 😉
I disagree. For example, you might take your car for a trip to a big box store outside of town, but you might take your bike or walk to shop for groceries at your local supermarket. So even if you adjust for number of trips, the car will naturally account for a much larger distance.
In my opinion it is much more interesting to know how likely you are to be injured or killed on any given trip than, say, every 100 km of walking or driving.
Not to say that adjusting for distance can never be useful, but in this case I’m not sure it would add as much meaning.
This is in France. Los of people walk rather than drive. It would be interesting to see the numbers adjusted for number of trips, though.
I did not expect the, ahem, instructional images under the “purpose” heading 😅
Well that’s not bleak at all…
