0xtero@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•hypothetical: after Google sells Chrome, new owner f***s up, users flee to other browsers. Can Firefox step up and attract+keep a significant qty of users?1·17 days agoI’m pretty sure the market share for Firefox would grow. Maybe even 5-10% which would potentially put it at total of …. 15%
They would be huge, but to think Firefox would ever be the popular browser is probably a bit too optimistic. That ship sailed long time ago.
Chrome/Google is pretty messed up junk these days and no one cares.
From decentralised perspective the verification data is stored in the verifiers PDS rather than having the verified-certificate in the subjects PDS which means this particular check is always for the official BlueSky server only and won’t be federated anywhere else. Other potential servers are free to implement their own (potentially different!) local verification scheme with it, but it’s never going to be network wide and it never federates anywhere except the server where it’s implemented.
This is why I commented earlier about their decision to move to ”traditional” social networking space and away from decentralised networking
I think at this point it’s pretty clear that BlueSky is in the traditional social media business instead of being in the decentralized social media business.
Maybe that’s a good decision for BlueSky, they certainly seem to have the growth at the moment, but I think we probably have to forget the dreams of it ever pushing the decentralization angle again.

Various cybersecurity agencies have been regularly warning people for years. Before watching some random 12 minute YouTube video, you could at least summarize if there’s any new research in it?

0xtero@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•I'm committing to Linux, but it's so unstable. Any suggestions?0·1 month agoIf it’s for work, I’d suggest using whatever works for you best. Sounds incredibly frustrating so I don’t know why’d you be so set on ditching windows. Use the tools that work for you. Having said that, I’ve been running Linux since early 0.99 kernels and Debian since 1.3 and stability is really unmatched these days.
Your screen flicker issues with browser sound like hardware acceleration related bugs and I’d hazard a quess that random freezes and reboots have something to do with graphics drivers as well. But of course it’s impossible to tell without logs, which you didn’t provide.
Being able to find them if they run away?
