they have scenes taking place in 2003 so it's definitely not any flavor of kubuntu. it seems to just be a vanilla KDE desktop so probably not redhat/fedora either
eblu @eblu@wetdry.world
what distro were they using in the social network anyway. debian???

I just finished watching The Social Network and I couldn't stop thinking about that one Game Grumps bit where Arin sends a bunch of text messages to Dan about it

@esm hey is there something up with lethallava.land? I hear that it died and I don't think it's like you to suddenly pull the plug on an instance like that

@mkljczk they've done a fair bit actually. you can host an account on one server, a relay picks up your and others' posts, another server will process all that, and then a client parses it all out and none of those have to be hosted by bluesky at all even if you're participating in the same network. I've seen it happen with projects like blacksky. it's just really impractical at the moment unfortunately

anyway that's my janky fossbro take of the night. I am not immune to it but at least I don't harass other people about it

they absolutely body mastodon in being able to move your account between servers though. it's practically seamless, we should be doing that too

that and when I first tried it it was basically them and people like them and irony poisoned millennials and creating a huge schism in protocols left a really bad taste in my mouth. not to discredit people who actually work with it and aren't ridiculous though, they're cool and I like that
eblu @eblu@wetdry.world
you might think that I don't like bluesky because "not decentralized enough venture capital raaaahhhh!!!" but I don't, I think those are pretty shaky reasons. it's actually because the people who run it are pseudo-cryptobros with the most insufferably antagonistic personalities ever

@softtummybitch @RunawayDanish seems like it's just the website itself that choked and died, it's still working fine through the phone app/alternate clients
