@hedge @moon Bluesky has got only one central component, the directory. The web interface at bsky.app is only one of multiple web interfaces. The data itself is hosted in several distributed personal data servers and you can setup and host your own as well.

This “Bluesky is offline” message is similar to some “Mastodon is offline”, when only mastodon.social is offline and all other servers are running.

@hedge BTW: There is an update to the terms of service as well that implies that you cannot opt out of providing training data to their AI.

@alyaza @hedge Funny side note: This rule with the disputes is not valid for residents of the EU due to their regulations. There an Irish court is responsible.

@TehPers @Kichae It doesn’t matter where a project is hosted, it matters which group you are targeting and where you personally are located. So even if you would host in Russia, you won’t be safe from prosecution, when you live for example in the US.

@catculation I guess that he was totally happy, when nearly 9,000 workers (out of 12,500) at his factory in Germany voted for a new works council. I’m convinced that he didn’t knew about German labour rights - now he does 😀

@Mysteriarch I deeply hope that there will be some connection to Matrix in the future.

@aberrate_junior_beatnik @penquin I found a nice page with statistics about the different messengers: engage.sinch.com/blog/most-pop…

It seems that only in the US more people are using iMessage than WhatsApp.

@FiskFisk33 @remotelove Yeah, I find it rather interesting, that DMC was able to built a car that had none of the issues more than 40 years ago - which means that it is a doable task. So Tesla simply ignored it.

@hedge Will be interesting to see, if there will be other servers, so that it really will be decentralized.

@throws_lemy Hyperloop is a solution for a non existing problem. There are already fast landline based systems. You can go really fast on rails (see Japan) or you can use a maglev.
