Good to see the Government getting it right, for once.

Suddenly I’m worried about AI’s energy draw. “6 percent of global electricity” is not a small amount of electricity.
Further searching turns up the information that “federated” Bluesky PDS instances are limited to ten user accounts each, and API usage limits which may constrain things further. So that would explain why there aren’t any big ones.
So far as I can tell they do all still “federate” through the central server, not directly with each other. So there being not much point in it may also explain why it hasn’t caught on.
Almost as bad as Threads, really.
Well, what’s a popular server? Are there several big ones? Sorry, but I really don’t understand why the answer isn’t turning up in web search results.
PS: Are you sure it isn’t just people who’ve done the “set your domain as your handle” thing but even so are still on the central one? Because even if they have made some small progress towards decentralization they absolutely have not gone so far that there isn’t still a central one.
Is it really? Seems hard to find out. Anyone have a list of Bluesky servers other than the central one with open signups?
tl;dr: Here’s everything you need to know about the fediverse, assuming you’re never going to use it. Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, Friendica. Now, back to our regular coverage of all the biggest social companies, including TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Reddit, as well as funding and acquisitions of new social startups.
I have no data on that. Cheaper and easier to get tlds like .world might be the most dangerous of all.
Ah, so chimps are monkeys in the same way that whales are fish.
Can someone explain for the non-biologists? I never heard of chimps being classified as monkeys.
They’re probably just as dangerous as .com sites.
I’d not yet call it failed, but it’s not yet fully succeeded either. To my mind, one impediment is something that lemmy.world shares with today’s reddit: If you look at the front page it’s 99% memes and images. That’s the first impression people get, and it probably drives away a lot of people who might want anything else. We need those people to make more text-based communities come alive, if it’s to evolve into anything like the old reddit.
I mean obviously there are lots of people who do mostly want to see memes and that’s fine, but I think it’s getting to the point where it might be useful to have an option that filters out all posts that are just a title and an image.
You should really be more specific. All of them have more content than netflix hulu vudu and prime video combined.
Maybe their (and our) 25-year run of pretending that gasoline-electric hybrids were an adequate way to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions is finally nearing its end.
[false claims that] journalists gave the recent PS5 game Stellar Blade (pictured below) bad reviews because its female characters are too hot
That seems an inadequate way of summing up the Stellar Blade controversy which on the whole was considerably more ridiculous than that.
Yeah, a general “electric vs. gas” comparison which elides the two big disadvantages of electric in familiar applications (which aren’t to be found in the motor) seems slightly subpar for xkcd. It’s valid from a certain narrow engineering perspective but not too helpful if what you’re thinking about is motorcycles.
If fossil fuels were so easy to give up we’d have done it by now.
Fear not citizens of Earth, my sources in Chicago inform me that Illinois has not yet been disintegrated.
They want one baseball brand. One football brand. One basketball brand. One twitter. One facebook. One instagram.
Why’s everything need to be so complicated, anyway? Can’t we just have on sportsballgame and one twitgramface?
It used to be on ploob, but season 3 is only on nimbo now.
The other thread is Squaredle. This is Squardle. Totally different games, of course. I’m not sure which came first, but this is the lesser-known one.
