> The EIT Urban Mobility report also refers to the bigger picture: moving commuters out of private cars and into public transport, cycling, or walking can achieve up to five times more reduction in non-exhaust emissions than individual electrification.

And this is just one the many nuisances produce by cars.

Electric cars do not massively reduce almost any of the pollution produced by cars.

We have to reduce the automobile fleet by at least 95% to solve all the nuisances produces by cars.

Contrary to what we could thought, Bluesky doesn't asks about which server to use on registration.

It's not federate.

"Bluesky asks about which server to use on registration"

No he doesn't ask, you're wrong.

And there is no single one alternative server where we can register and interact with people on bsky.app

Can you prove to us that it is possible to interact with someone on Bluesky without being registered on Bluesky?

Threads use e ActivityPub but we know it's bullshit and that they will shut down the network as soon as possible. Bluesky is the same shit. AT protocol is just a honey pot.

"Kraken was initially built with a BitTorrent driver, however, we ended up implementing our P2P driver based on BitTorrent protocol to allow for tighter integration with storage solutions and more control over performance optimizations.

Kraken's problem space is slightly different than what BitTorrent was designed for. Kraken's goal is to reduce global max download time and communication overhead in a stable environment, while BitTorrent was designed for an unpredictable and adversarial environment, so it needs to preserve more copies of scarce data and defend against malicious or bad behaving peers.

Despite the differences, we re-examine Kraken's protocol from time to time, and if it's feasible, we hope to make it compatible with BitTorrent again."
