  • You’re not wrong but that’s not quite decentralization, that’s just not building a walled garden, but retaining the power to put up walls at any point. If most users are on BlueSky, then BlueSky retains the power. If they decide to end support of AT or to extend (break) it, they keep their user base while everything else is left in the dust.

    This is why people are saying not to create an account on mastoson.social - it’s getting too big. And mastodon.social is run by a non-profit, whereas BlueSky is a for-profit company. True decentralization and federation are against their interests.





  • This is incredibly misleading. A “hydrogen bomb” generally refers to a thermonuclear fusion weapon. This is not that. It’s just a “regular” chemical explosive.

    The article makes it sound like this is a modified version of what’s known as a hydrogen bomb, but without a fission-based detonator. It is not. It’s a chemical bomb that yields flammable products so you get a fireball.

    Also explosions aren’t better because they last long lol, the whole point of an explosion is to be fast. By these metrics a log of wood is an even better bomb




  • Germany has tons of awesome old castles, nice inner cities and some cute villages with old architecture. If you like pork then you will also like German food.

    Some places I can recommend are Heidelberg, Freiburg, Dinkelsbühl. Berlin has loads of history and techno if you’re into that.

    If you like nature, you can do lovely bike tours along rivers, along the Lahn, Rhein, Danube, etc. Alternatively go for a hike in the black forest, the Odenwald, Saxon Switzerland or the Alps

    Don’t just go anywhere though, some cities were bombed to shit in WW2 and then badly rebuilt.
