Indeed, import/export is one of the most important design point centering control back to the user, and even better is abstracted storage of data: if I had a single OPML file accessible from everywhere (with auth, of course) and all to

For reference, and not implying it's better or worse than your work OP, I've pleasantly used Fraidycat ( https://fraidyc.at/ ) in the past. It's a webextension, so completely local, and also incorporates the id

That's exactly why pubsubhubbub, now websub, has been created. Around 10 years ago.

Use ublock origin with the "Cookie notices" custom lists. Not explicitely accepting cookies is legally the same as refusing them (now, whether websites actually respect that is the opening keynote of the Naiveté conference)

The big central place is still the PLC directory that effectively means all accounts are centralized at BlueSky, even if your posts are not. They haven't planned to make it any decentralized in the future.

The problem seems to be that each individual split part is valid in itself. This means that the entire file, with the central directory at the end, can diverge from each entry. This is the original issue.

Because, as said before, zip managing splits ends with two sources of truth in the file format that can differ while the whole file still being valid

That's a very bad way of solving that issue. If transmission is a problem, either use a proper retry-friendly protocol (such as bittorrent) or split the file. Using hacks on the data format just leads to additional pain

The ironic bit is that conceptually Bluesky is RSS with WebSub < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSub > - PDS are websites with an RSS feeds, each a publisher - Relays are WebSub hubs aggregating many sources into

This is exactly why WebSub, formerly Pubsubhubbub, was written. Publishers can push to a relay only when something new happens, never having to be polled. It was created more than a decade ago.

I don't see the fundamental difference. Both systems work under expected conditions and will crash parts of it if the conditions don't happen. The scales (and thus the visibility of bugs) change, the technologies change, but the a

Market share only matters if there's a market, ie concurrent proposals. In an open world, concurrent proposals make no sense: let all applications talk with any other, let all protocols take inspiration from each other to build the bes

Cycling is not dangerous because of nature, it's dangerous because of cars. It's not the same as "skydiving is dangerous" where the nature itself goes against you. What matters is what we want to do as a society: leave t

Unsurprisingly this is something you could do in Plan 9: /path/to/file:/from.*to opens the file and sets the selection to the range of text between "from" and "to". Bonus: you can use regular

It's perfectly legal if you install a device the owners fully agreed to install and signed a 3-days long licensing text explicitly saying it that they didn't bother to read. Which is exactly what Facebook is doing.

I still don't think capitalism will help in solving this issue, if only because putting a cost on the environment will always be fought against and never integrated: there is no interest in this. And I also don't think that a st
