@Powderhorn In our company, we have theoretically had a “one day at home per week” rule for several months now. In practice, people usually work about 3 days a week at home. This is partly due to the fact that there is a works council agreement for some of my colleagues that is binding and can’t be overruled by management (thanks for German labor law!).

@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.

@alyaza I have to think of Bluesky, which is also a PBLLC and they took external money. We will see how this will develop.

@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.

@zepfhyr Elon is a person that is very susceptible for conspiracies that fit his world view and he propagates it loudly. Peter Thiel always stays in the background and acts from there.

@Moonrise2473 @sirdorius Well, Elon is evil by accident. Peter Thiel is evil by intention.

@0x4E4F Yeah, see the Wikipedia article about “Metallicity”.

@Alto @0x4E4F BTW: For astrophysicist every element except Helium and Hydrogen is metal.

@loki @dawnerd Well, since the accounts are now moved to their specific hosts, you can use these hostnames instead of the generic one when using their protocol. The only action where you currently still need the generic bluesky host name (bsky.app) is during some account related activities.

The different hosts already talk to each other using the same protocol that is already in use for third parties who interact with bluesky (like alternate clients or custom feeds). The only thing that currently prevents “real” decentralization is the user registry.

From the outside it appears as if it all was some monolithic block. But this is only the case since the default usernames are using the bsky.social hostname. But in fact you can already use your own hostnames for your account, since the account is not locked to any hostname but to some unique hash. (Which is one of the advantages of their protocol and which we really should implement in the Fediverse as well to perform real account portability)

@loki What do you mean exactly with “other instances” in this context?

@notepass No. In difference to regular scaling you can see the host of your account. These are separate systems that communicate via Bluesky’s protocol and not via the regular scaling mechanisms.

@throws_lemy @noodlejetski The registry still is centralized, but the users already are distributed across multiple servers that talk to each other using that protocol.

@Fizz @throws_lemy Well, there are accounts from deceased people. Their posts will then be gone.

@mint @explore_broaden On Bluesky the people used a still image from the video to identify the apps on her phone - and Twitter isn’t even on the start page, but Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Signal, …

@blue_berry Friendica does have both a chronological feed (that can be sorted by creation date of the post, the date that the post arrived at the system or the date that thread was changed the last time) and also some algorithmic feeds (called “channel”) that displays posts of their followers based on some rules. Also there are channels with posts of all kind that are discussed a lot in the last times. Another channel shows content from people that are followed by the people that I follow. Other ones are language based, etc.

This is a brand new feature and will be part of the upcoming release. Of course the plan is that the user can tweak the rules.
