once I reported a bug in google maps cycle directions (it was giving not just wrong, but dangerous, directions) and I managed to escalate it through social media contacts and actually got it fixed

The difference is that bluesky is based around a secure protocol, and this means that it should always be possible to have 3rd party clients, or be used in other apps. It's not as decentralized as ssb, but it leaves "X" in the dust. It's a good compromise, I think.

for a social media message posting app it is indeed overkill, but the original vision for ssb was to be a platform for all sorts of stuff and the social network was really just the proof of concept

Because most client devices are now battery powered some (or all) of the time, we "get" more CPU every year, but when that only turns into more cheap, slow devices being sold, *the average speed can regress*.

And that's exactly what happened over the past decade.

"it's" would refer to something belonging to "it".

I think you are overlooking the fact that staltz (and anders) integrated the far much improved db research that I started but didn't finish, and actually got it into production in manyverse and improved index building substantially

hmm, my feeling is you'd get more gains with a more efficient hull shape (U with fine ends) than messing with exotic foils

yes. and it probably happens faster than you can sheet out. otoh the raptor16 does look pretty serious and it had some fans, so it might have been good. I guess it needs to be deep enough? or maybe have a wand controlling it like a foiler?

but really the trouble with stuff like this is actually measuring it accurately, otherwise it's just theory. at least with racing you can make changes then see if you can inch ahead of the other guy

also using hydronamic lift for righting moment means creating induced drag, but shifting crew weight doesn't. So I think don't try to use foils for that until you are going as fast as you can shifting weight.

go for it! btw, I retired from ssb in 2020, so I'm not the person to ask about later developments

the later manyverse is very high performance, I think you should try the later ones!
