No Man’s Blue Sky

There is a mass exodus from X/Twitter to Blue Sky. It’s no surprise for some feel the content quality has massively eroded. Others welcome the changes and stay on the platform. Blue Sky is essentially a clone of Twitter to the UI itself. However, it uses its own AT Protocol.

Admittedly, I’m not an expert on protocols, but I wish Blue Sky would use ActivityPub; one already recommended by W3 already. It feels like this is a Bitcoin to Ethereum to Solana argument with performance and capability, but ActivityPub would have easily welcomed it more to the Fediverse.

In the mean time, I’m using OpenVibe as my social app. There is progress with this, but would prefer a universal protocol and point of origin of posts. My perspective is until there is federation of personal graphs, algorithms, and data, we’re continuously flipping back and forth on monolithic apps.

My favorite Olympics moment ever

The Olympics have been a nice change of pace given what’s going on the the world and this country. Sports isn’t going to bring world peace, but it allows us to take a pause. There are so many fond memories I have watching the olympics. Friends have been discussing what the best moments are, not only in Paris 2024, but ever.

Though this isn’t in the Olympics itself and in the trials, the number always engrained in me is 19.32, when Michael Johnson broke the record for the 200m.

What is your favorite moment?

Avengers: Doomsday

Avengers: Doomsday with Robert Downey Jr. as…Victor Von Doom. This is likely a Tony Stark variant but to say I’m extremely disappointed is an understatement.

I love RDJ. I love the MCU. This feels extremely lazy.

Having to revert to RDJ and the Russo Brothers validates to me that they failed. I can’t wait for the Multiverse Saga to end.
