This implies Xerox got no return on their research, and simply let Apple take their research, which isn't true. Rather, it was part of the investment deal they made with Apple [1]: > Apple was already one of the hottest tech firms

You’re using the British definition of “public school” here, which is a “private school” in the US. US public schools are equivalent to UK state schools, in that both are run by the state.

I never said it wasn’t created by Bluesky, so I’m really not sure why you’re trying to argue that I am. The point is that PLC is usable as a DID method for things that aren’t atproto. The ID is deterministic, you can reconstruct it by hashi

DIDs are a W3C standard, not invented by Bluesky. The PLC method specifically is currently hosted by them, but they’re working on moving it, as Dan says. The method specific ID for PLC is a hash of the genesis operation, so it’s not just an

There’s some DHT-based DID methods so it’s possible - one of the nice things about the DID abstraction layer is that could be added. As I understand, atproto is intentionally limiting to PLC and Web for now, and monitoring the ecosystem. Ev

This is mostly separate to the PDS - Bluesky is more like the client here (albeit, they also currently run the PLC service). It’s part of your DID document which they manage for you mostly, but there’s ways to take ownership of your PLC DID

What stebalien might be referring to is that your DID document for PLC specifically is controlled by anyone with the rotation key. In the Bluesky implementation, this is Bluesky for convenience’s sake, to make it possible for users to easil

Imagine it as analogous to “Given a https:// URI, how do you locate the corresponding HTML?” This is oversimplified but is a decent question to prompt an explanation for someone new to DNS, HTTP, TLS, etc.

webvh seems to be getting some love as well recently, which addresses at least one of the downsides of it. It’s kind of annoying that a huge number of DID methods are specific to cryptocurrencies and are practically abandoned.
