I think #Bluesky's vanity username feature unfortunately furthers the illusion that it's truly decentralized. You can be @MyInsatiable.ego on https://bsky.app, but you're still stuck on https://bsky.app.

I don't understand cheapass #Mac developers who pony up for pricey #Apple hardware but then refuse to pay for the Apple Developer Program to notarize and sign their apps. Is it unreasonable to not want to run random code from the Internet on my own pricey Apple hardware?

You can’t fight evil ideas by pointing at evil people. They don’t care. And you can’t fight for good ideas without establishing their worth. This only works on those who haven’t given up on reason. Anyone who surrenders to irrationality or emotional whim is unreachable.
