The US is kinda primed to really like their hitlers.
When this works properly I will happily switch from apk to paid Google Play and I am happy to sponsor this. I just need an open source option to work for me. Happier to pay a lot more for open source to do this than feeding a company that WILL fail at some point.
A bit of a history of trams: they existed before the modern electric bus, as horse trams, because they could carry more people. Most tram networks have been removed since the introduction of the bus. Modern trams however can increase capacity a lot, and even small trams can fix hard problems like in the Lisbon inner city. Many modern trams are somewhere on the light rail spectrum and are both faster and often have more dedicated right of way, so they don’t get stuck in traffic. Understanding this, you can see how you can often also fix the same issues with dedicated bus lanes, but a tram track also fixes refueling properly. A third option is of course a trolley bus or a trolley/battery hybrid. Every location needs something that fits the local circumstances.
As far as I know there is no intention to have Bluesky be proprietary in any way in the long run, just the philosophy is different and closer to P2P networks. For example migration is a big element of the design, unlike Mastodon. But at the moment it’s still being built, hence why it looks much more proprietary for now.
Threads still hasn’t actually fully connected with the fediverse, they are working on that, and until yesterday they weren’t live in Europe yet, so it wasn’t a real alternative for many people. That is changing drastically.
This post sounds to me exactly like people’s reactions to Brexit. They were like “see, it’s not to bad” for the whole time when nothing was implemented yet. And then it actually went live, and everything went to shit. Keep an eye on when things actually go live the way they plan.
