"For example, if every time I post a new update on BlueSky, if I had to send my post to every single one of my followers’ repositories, that would be extremely inefficent"
Somewhat ironic to have this posted on and activitypub driven fediverse.
Each devices encryption keys are unique and non-transferable. Each message in a conversation is encrypted in such a way that every participating device at the time of sending can decrypt it.
New devices (like desktop clients) didn't have their keys used for old messages and so can't decrypt them. There is no way to reencrypt old messages with additional new keys.
It's both annoying as shit, and also the only way to ensure a bad actor can't just add themselves to conversations they weren't a part of.
It literally prompts you to install to your desktop, meaning it's had at least the minimum amount of effort spent to make a decent mobile experience. Did you try it?
Just paid £650 out to get my 2007 Astra hatchback through an MOT.
It doesn't get driven much so it makes zero sense to replace it. Even if I'm spending double that in a year to keep it on the road it's still waaaaay cheaper than me paying for a "new" one. It's got bodywork rust now though and it's apparently really hard to find a place that'll do repairs like that :(
but those concerns appeared to have disappeared by the time the Vision Pro and its two screens directly in front of users’ eyes took the (virtual) stage.
Lost me here. The focal distance of those screens is not 2cm. Unlike the phone you hold 25cm from your face, when you're lying in bed at night failing to sleep, they have clever lenses and shit.
Got a third of the way through before realising this was just the opinion piece of a decidedly anti-nuclear journalist.
There is literally no cleaner way to provide base-load. Storage is great for spikes in usage but is not a replacement. To retire the gas and coal stations we need to replace what they do, not what they are.
Quite different!
