This whole system is so much more transparent and distributes decision-making power so much more effectively. ๐Ÿคฏ I can host where I please, and something like community caches are now a commodity that can be transparent and competitive, like Fastly or any other traffic management tool.

I'm still reading through the comments so sorry if this is a repeat, but I'd love to better understand the funding/cost model that goes along with this. Aren't these social apps still bearing the cost of hosting this data? And if a social platform goes down, doesn't the actual data go down with it?

I have had "understand Bluesky's decentralization" on my to-do list for a while - this was enlightening! Thank you!

Yeah that's a surprising take to me too. It seems like a very personal decision and depends on your life situation and preferred work style. I'm mid-career and have considered both as next steps.

We Can Now Track Individual Monarch Butterflies. Itโ€™s a Revelation. Scientists used tiny new sensors to follow the insects on journeys that take thousands of miles to their winter colonies in Mexico.

For the first time, scientists are tracking the migration of monarch butterflies across much of North America, actively monitoring individual insects on journeys. It could provide crucial insights into the life cycles of hundreds of flying insects at a time when many are in steep decline.

Quilts are durable as shit. They handle heat without a sweat. They warm against the cold. They get softer with age. They carry memories. They are imperfect and unique. They bear any task gracefully, give comfort to anyone who needs it.

I aspire to the qualities of a quilt.

This is not normal, this is not normal, this is not normal. We shouldn't have families struggling for food while 1 person gets paid a trillion dollars.

36 for us. Saved for over 10 years and still could only put 3% down because of how high prices were, taxes and closing costs.

A year ago, I was participating in my first strike. I was exhausted, outraged, and determined. Now I'm stepping into the role of vice-chair for my unit. You don't have to be special to make a difference, you just have to believe there's a better way and roll up your sleeves.
