but why do you follow people whose posts you don't want to see?

they forgot about that button, given it verifiably does nothing at all

just correcting the number down by the number of blocked is all that's needed..

the "dislike" button on posts already exists, is called "show less", and does nothing. already forgot about that feature?

People are really acting like half of all of discord isn't already using awful Unicode chars for this, which also makes them impossible to ping. This is, if anything, the much better option

Cars are stationary for 22h+ a day on average, this is just nonsense

what about a hyper gaming mechanical looking chassis but with whisper quiet keys

yep. not on every search, but many. but at least you can completely disable all AI features with a single toggle

To be fair, so does DDG by default

I just hope "A new, in-house VPN architecture" doesn't mean Electron-ifying all the apps..

No, for my imagined solution, the plc could / would be irrelevant. You'd be able to go directly to the repo via that unique ID

I imagine it just being indexed or whatever the terminology is like any other post / record. The relays just which PDS is responsible for it. Upon account creation, the responsible PDS just sends out a "i made account x with key y". Then all the relays / appviews just remember that

28.10.2025 21:15 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

That way, not a domain or a PLC would hold the truth, but the user's PDS. There surely are some loopholes and issues with that but I can't get over how unnecessarily restrictive bluesky did it by locking you into PLC

28.10.2025 18:56 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

No. What I mean is a DNS-like system for the globally unique IDs I proposed, where information of where the user is stored (which PDS) is relayed and the user's current PDS is the result, if that makes sense. Basically makes the did secondary only.

yes, that's what I meant, did changes are as destructive as mastodon instance changes

28.10.2025 18:52 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

but the point is that you can *change* DID methods at all without breaking everything like on Mastodon when you change instances

DNS solved this kind of issue 41 years ago and it's a fucking shame that modern software needs to reinvent the wheel, as a square

28.10.2025 17:25 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

and thats what i said earlier. Use that globally unique unchangeable ID and done. That is literally the solution

28.10.2025 17:22 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

did:web exists and is widely used elsewhere. In my eyes it's deliberately designed to force you to forever stay on Bluesky's PLC bullshit. Peak centralisation in an otherwise genuinely perfectly decentralised protocol. No clue how that went through even the first idea phase

28.10.2025 17:22 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

oh and you cant change the DID method even if you wanted for all I know, talk about vendor lock in

28.10.2025 17:17 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

That isn't what the discussion is about. It's that Bluesky's links are designed in a stupid way where changing the DID method breaks virtually everything, and the PLC DID method is deliberately centralised and in Bluesky's hands

A globally unique ID generated with enough factors (initial service / PDS name, timestamp, name..) to be reliably unique

28.10.2025 15:46 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

which is bad design as it makes switching from PLC to WEB or something else much harder and breaking

the data thing is sadly not true, I don't use bluesky that much but got 60GB (!!!) usage over the last month. That is like 5x more than similar apps I use *more*

ctrl+shift+v does exactly that

I'd 100% be on Linux already but the problem is: Kernel AC, and proprietary win-only-driver-software I absolutely rely on that has no replacement on Linux. I wonder if there'll ever be Wine but 100% universal for everything

Same for all the "AI apps". They even all use a suspiciously equal amount of RAM both when in use and when not, usually ~300M. Meanwhile native programs use like 90MB when fully in use

Especially because it does, in the form of the Discover feed (and many other feeds that Bluesky themselves offer)

I'd swap 1Password for Bitwarden - open source, EU data storage (if you choose) etc.
