Windows is only 12% of Microsoft’s revenue, and between Mac, Linux and ChromeOS, it really doesn’t have a monopoly anymore on desktop (about 70%). On top of that, desktop usage in general is decreasing, and is already less than 50% of all web traffic.
What I’m saying is that I think it’s safe to say something else will likely “kill” Windows long before Linux ever becomes a serious threat to it.
yeah but mastodon has thousands of owners and bluesky has one so its different see
they literally do? what do you think state lines even do?
Glad we agree that BlueSky is a centralized service.
Its cute how they pretend at protocol is being used by anyone not named bluesky
You need to explain why a mastodon instance in a state without those laws care what a different state does
ActivityPub instances can do whatever the hell they want, the point is that no CEO decided who has access to all of it.
I agree 100%, BlueSky is not decentralized.
But you are evading. The technicalities you speak of are irrelevant to the topic of censorship. The fact that parts of BlueSky are technically open source, or that other BlueSky apps exist is irrelevant to the people who are functionally denied access to speak due to the decision of a single company. There is no other “instance” we can go sign up on like with ActivityPub apps.
(Here is the part where you say I could technically get all my friends to self-host their own PDS as though it is easy and fun).
Do you live in Mississippi? Because there’s no reason to capitulate otherwise unless you plan on going there on vacation (no reason to do that either).
No, “other sites” should disobey unjust laws
You’re right good job lol you managed to evade again.
A CEO is censoring a geographical region. That is just not something that can happen on a decentralized platform.
That’s just a frontend. It still requires a bsky.app account.
I am there and it’s not available.
More evasion. “Client” is Bluesky’s techno jargon for “app”. You still need a BlueSky account to use a client. And you can’t get one of those in Mississippi.
Maybe it would help your argument that the thing BlueSky themselves says is happening is not really happening if you could produce a BlueSky post that is available in posted from Mississippi?
Do you have a source for that? This chart says otherwise:
