Yeah I in general think that Graber is very good at giving good answers in interviews!

Honestly even if bluesky does become enshittyfied, which is a very real possibility, the work they've done on AT proto so far will probably be extremely useful for whoever takes a crack at a more decentralized internet next. There are a lot of clearly smart and passionate people who are given space to research and experiment with different ways of doing things and I think that's both very valuable and interesting

I agree that the interviewer shouldn't have implied that they are decentralized today! I don't know if bluesky even say that they are decentralized themselves, on their website it says that they're "building an open foundation for the social internet" which is more accurate but maybe they mischaracterize themselves somewhere else.

So first of, the part of my comment that you quoted doesn't make sense because what I'm saying is that bluesky theoretically allows for decentralized relays but it's impractical in practice. Your analogy doesn't really apply to that.

I do think that it's misleading to call bluesky decentralized today (at least without any caveats). The goal of the project however is to eventually create a more meaningfully decentralized social network and they have tangible plans for moving in that direction so I think it's unfair to dismiss this aspect of bluesky completely.

I think that it's fair to want the interviewer to ask more critical questions and in general be more precise with their phrasing but

repeat that PR talking point

is a very cynical and uncharitable take on bluesky and decentralization. Cynical takes aren't necessarily wrong but they're not necessarily correct either.

The AT protocol is by its own account an ongoing project with problems that still need be solved before it is able to provide a social network with all the properties that they're interested in.

I don't think that it's accurate to say that bluesky is "completely" centralized (it is less centralized than most social media) as much as it's de-facto centralized. One reason for this is that it's prohibitively expensive to self-host relays. This is something that the AT protocol devs have plans for addressing, so it's possible that this de-facto centralization is a temporary stage in the evolution of bluesky and AT proto.

It is of course possible that they are lying or that they will be unsuccessful despite best intentions but taking for granted that it's just a "PR talking point" is, once again, very cynical in a way that I don't think is completely motivated.

What are the odds that you're actually going to get a bounty out of it? Seems unlikely that an AI would hallucinate an actually correct bug.

Maybe the people doing this are much more optimistic about how useful LLMs are for this than I am but it's possible that there's some more malicious idea behind it.

Zuckerberg himself is probably constantly surrounded by yes men so maybe it won't seem like that much of a difference to him

They are open to drop some features apparently, but maybe not "90%"

The developers are taking a “less is more” approach. This means that some features of the original sudo may not be reimplemented if they serve only niche, or more recently considered “outdated” practices.

I use wezterm. It's more configurable than the windows terminal and also works on linux. It has an appropriately linux-y feel imo.

tldr is great, sometimes you can't remember the exact syntax for a certain command and just need a quick reminder as well.

Well it's not like everyone who uses Chat GPT is going to become delusional but if you start going down the path Chat GPT is going to make it a lot worse

Can I mod games as freely and as easily as I do on Windows?

It depends a lot on the game, but in my experience not always. Running games straight from steam works really well with a small number of exceptions, but a lot of the sometimes weird tools for patching exe:s and so on that some games use can sometimes be a pain to get running. Not necessarily impossible but yeah this is a reason for why I still keep around my windows installation for dual booting.

 

Toying with the idea of setting this up for myself, maybe a few bridges, maybe a few group chats on matrix itself. What kind of cost should I expect?

 

I'm looking to get into the selfhosting world and I'm not sure what machine to self host on. I'm thinking about getting something a bit beefier than a raspberry pi, likely some sort of NAS server but I'm not sure yet.

I mainly want to use it to store and host media files and backups, but it would be nice to have the option of running some sort of bot or script in the background without any problems.

I'm happy for suggestions, but if there is some sort of guide out there already so I can do my own research that would be cool too, and perhaps something that could be linked in the sidebar of the community?
