Not strictly true.

ATProto allows relays to be optional—appviews could subscribe directly to PDSs.

But it reduces connections, which allows a relay in ATProto to run a fraction of the cost _per user_, even where the aggregate cost is higher (I think one estimate from a while back is that it is on the order of millions of tens of millions of BlueSky users for about the cost of Hachyderm).

AP is also, as implemented rather than as designed necessarily, _hellishly_ expensive per user compared to pretty much every major systems protocol.

@MCDuncanLab

Absolutely.

When I was in school my Calc III prof said "do not get rid of your calculus textbook (Stewart's). Others, sure, absolutely. But you will find that you regret giving up your calculus textbook."

It has traveled with me through multiple moves, the spine is basically destroyed from how much I have used the book over the last two+ decades, but I still have it and it is still worth keeping.

@kidskylark

@kidskylark Honestly?

Thomas' Calculus or Calculus by James Stewart.

Good, solid textbooks. I've never found a resource online that compares and still covers everything that you need.

Then you can go in for specific sections with various online resources and will likely have a much better time with the narrower query.

I think that, in general, people dramatically underestimate the burden on trust and safety when dealing with rapid growth and the number of things that can an do go wrong in these environments.

Don't worry everyone, I'm sure that 2025 will be the year of ActivityPub on the desktop.

@SoniEx2

I am posting this because it fits with a phenomenon I've already observed and that has been observed by multiple others, and becuase while the methodology may introduce bias, I do not see how those biases matter here.

Virtually every scientist I followed from the initial phases of COVID is on BlueSky. Virtually none are on mastodon any longer.

That is the topic. Saying that they didn't "prove their case" or arguing methodology is missing the point by about a hundred miles

I am not looking for a debate on polling methodology for informal surveys of readership conducted by Nature.

Strike 2.

@jdp23 lollll

You mean the thing I can disable on a per-post basis there :p

The replies I'm getting to this are _also_ part of why I spend more time on bluesky, tbh.

@Bigou …and what does that have to do with literally anything I'm talking about?

@SoniEx2 k.

Also a fact that, in general, they are there and not here. So whether it is a "biased poll"—or if that bias is in any way meaningful—is not really relevant to the question at hand.

This is part of why I am posting more on #BlueSky and spending more time there in general.

"Are you now or have you ever been a member of the DEI party" is admittedly not where I expected this to go.

@EmilyGB2023 I love Wingspan ^^ It's charming, satisfying to play, and easy to teach.

Here’s an in-depth analysis of Proton Mail’s security architecture as of 2021:

https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/1121.pdf

It’s highly technical, but here’s the headline: “As it stands, ProtonMail does not meet its self-professed security goals when these are subjected to analysis.”

Maybe they’ve fixed things since 2021 — but fundamentally, Proton Mail is trying to make a pig fly here; email protocol just weren’t designed for E2E encryption. There will always be leaks, slips, gaps.

Also has helped my sleep. You can see it clearly on my sleep trackers. Not a cure-all (chronic insomnia is a PITA still), but _definitely_ helpful.

Fun fact: This is partly because with oral progesterone it produces above-typical levels of metabolites like allopregnanolone and pregnanolone, and a lot of these have sedative effects.

@puppygirlhornypost2 as a backend for duckduckgo?

@Euan ah, a Microsoft PowerPoint transition

@puppygirlhornypost2 Yup, that's basically how you fix it as a third party as well. You hold the wrist and slowly push it to where you want it to be (or sometimes not as slowly, but same idea), working the tendons and muscles to the correct positions.

As you say: The surgeries often seem to make things worse in general even when they fix the problem and certainly add complications to everything. Lots of tradeoffs there: we just don't have good treatments, unfortunately :/

Ankles are _the worst_ and I'm not nearly as comfortable with those as I am with wrists x_x

@puppygirlhornypost2 I have two (2) partners with EDS and in both cases I've gotten _very_ used to fixing their hands and wrists (years of learning how to break wrists also leads to some basic knowledge of how to fix them).

Nothing quite as severe as what you are describing, but some things in the neighborhood. It's… impressive.
