Bottles is a wine/proton runner, not a VM manager. I think you might be mixing it up with Boxes?

If you're on android the extension works for Firefox

I just finished setting this up yesterday and I'm kind of obsessed with it. I was previously a heavy user of Karakeep, but I hated forgetting to save something and losing it. I also think Hister's semantic search is a better solution than AI generated summaries and tags. Support for local docs is super cool too, I have it set up to index my org notes directory.

I really don't think it effects your ability to do that. I've used a split keyboard as my primary keyboard for many years, it has not at all effected my ability to use a standard keyboard. As soon as my hands are on a typical layout the muscle memory kicks in.

Hosting CSAM material? What? I've never seen CSAM on Bluesky, but I have seen it generated by Grok on Twitter.

I've seen plenty of people cheer for murder on Twitter as well, both from the left and right. Cheering for the killing of a protester is no better than cheering for the killing of a federal agent.

On atproto your PDS and the appview you use are not linked. Your data is stored on your PDS and available to any app that handled Bluesky records.

How the addition of user choice doesn't make it better. I agree it's suboptimal, but I feel its still a clear improvement over centralized services. Getting to choose who, if anyone, I trust as my provider is better than having no choice.

Yeah, I think Bluesky should put more effort in getting users to create their own PLC key. It's trivial for someone who knows about it to do it, but of course the average user has no idea what atproto is. They need to explain it in a user-friendly way and have a simple tool to do it.

I'm not aware of what Proton does here, I'll look into that.

You can register a recovery key which allows overriding the signing key. This allows users to move from an adversarial PDS. I do think Bluesky should push for more users to add a recovery key, but I also understand why they haven't.

Moderation tools arent limited to specific PDS's, labels are public. If an account has received many reports it will have been labelled by Bluesky's moderation account and other independent labellers. A PDS can check against these before allowing an account to migrate if they choose to. I'm not sure any are currently doing this, but this is something that can absolutely be improved in current implementations, not an inherent limitation of the architecture.

Atproto gives users choice for where their data is hosted as well as the ability to migrate their data to a new host. Users who dont want to put trust in a provider can host it themselves. How is that not an improvement over being locked in to a single centralized provider?

When was the last time you checked that? That is definitely not currently true and hasnt been for as long as I've used Bluesky.
