  • Okay yes this makes sense. Although, honestly i think I’d prefer the AP method of doing it because BlueSky sends ALL content to all nodes, so it’s MUCH less cost effective to join with a private server.

    I run my own lemmy instance, so i know the data volume since 2023 has been probably like a terabyte or so. But, with BlueSky I’d have to account for the data volume of all users on the platform as a whole, bringing the data volume way up to tens of terabytes (a guess based almost entirely on nothing).

    So it really boils down to yes I agree that AP has problems with data accessibility, but I’d prefer that over unnecessary data redundancy


  • … but at least the rest of their system is actually substantially more decentralized architecturally than AP is.

    In the blog post you linked, neither the author or myself came to your conclusion:

    However, I stand by my assertions that Bluesky is not meaningfully decentralized and that it is certainly not federated according to any technical definition of federation we have had in a decentralized social network context previously. To claim that Bluesky is decentralized or federated in its current form moves the goalposts of both of those terms, which I find unacceptable.

    The blurry image appears to depict an animal, and based on the suggested search results, it could potentially be a ferret, hamster, bobcat, cougar, or red fox. Given the shape and coloring, it most closely resembles a ferret.

    Im gonna go ahead and say: absolutely no idea that picture is blurry as hell





  • Im glad you liked it!! Your point about Agnes is valid, I guess there’s also the argument that she was swept away by the royal life and left everything (including her father) behind? It’s been a while, so I’m fuzzy on some of the smaller details of the movie.

    I think you’re right about Alma but its also a fine line between her being a voice of reason and it being too overwhelming. I think it probably could have had more of her perspective on the abuse Elvira was going through.

    I really like this movie though, it’s been a few months since release and I still think its probably one of the better movies to have come out this year. But, I also think that these types of movies are the ones I enjoy the most: humanizing/contextualizing people situations that society has a preconceived notion towards. The only other example that I can think of is LVT’s Nymphomaniac, but that’s a tough one to recommend due to the extremely graphic content and the fact that its like six hours between both halves lol.

    I hope this movie wins some awards, doesn’t need to be picture of the year or anything but I think it’s a standout amongst its competitors this year.

    FWIW I run Ubuntu and do some gaming. Haven’t hit any issues, and I’ve run multiple AAA games on release (TLOU, Indiana Jones, Hogwarts Legacy, GoW 2018) as well as other, lighter, titles like Cities Skylines 2, Asetto Corsa, Project Cars, American Truck Simulator

    I’m sure there are bugs that I haven’t experienced, and my system is probably newer/higher performance than the average person + i chose parts with Linux in mind. But based on my experience, I wouldn’t tell someone to jump into a less user friendly distro because of problems I myself haven’t run into. Much better to try one, see if you hit an issue, then jump rather than doing the hard one up front


  • Consider your library: most games will be able to run fine on Linux. However, if you predominantly play online multiplayer games which require anticheat you should check compatibility on ProtonDB.

    Second, consider your hardware: if your GPU is AMD you’re good to go. Nvidia might have issues (not sure if this has been resolved since I last had to look into it).

    Finally, choose a distro: I’d recommend Ubuntu or anything Ubuntu-based. There’s a lot of mixed answers in the Linux community and definitely a ton of hate for Ubuntu. However, as someone who has been running Linux for nearly a decade at this point, there are a few key points:

    1. Ubuntu is debian based, so it’s extremely stable(but not as slow to update)

    2. Ubuntu is very beginner friendly, and you won’t need to touch the terminal if you don’t want to

    3. Everyone hates on snaps, but for you I don’t think you’ll run into an issue with it.

    Personally, I steer towards debian based distros for my devices as well because I’d rather spend time messing with the software I’m running or other things NOT debugging why my config is suddenly shitting the bed
