    They don’t own your PC (yet)

    MS pretty much owns the desktop PC space with Windows though, and even though there’s nothing stopping you from installing an alt OS on PC generally, Win11 not supporting anything older than Zen+ or Coffee Lake and flat-out refusing to run on anything older than Bulldozer or Nehalem even without support because everything before those arches lacks the POPCNT instruction, isn’t a good sign to say the least.

    Hopefully MS don’t start acting like Google and start breaking WINE/Proton and DXVK/VKD3D and crippling Linux gaming and even general desktop use on Linux, or even forcing Pluton to be enabled platform-wide blocking the ability to install alt OSes.

    Although similar to the Fediverse’s ActivityPub, ATProto is set up at least in theory to prevent that in that someone could set up their own ATProto PDS, plus third-party AppViews are a thing as well, for example, I’ve been using Klearsky lately because the default Bsky app is kinda slow.

    ActivityPub still beats it in practical application that it’s fully self-hostable and you basically own your Fediverse instance where ATProto still has to associated with Bsky somehow, although ATProto has been trying to decentralize further lately.

    I’ve been mulling in the back of the mind over migrating to one of the independent PDSes because of what the main Bsky PDS is trying to pull lately.
