Yeah the social media built on an open protocol where data is interoperable across apps isn't quite isolated

I also don't think the average user gets the value of the protocol yet. Most of those users were looking for a new, more politically palatable home but with the same features as Twitter. The new generation of apps on the protocol will be vital in showing users what's possible. IMO the two most valuable features at a practical level are: - social graph portability, which might look like having an onboarding experience that bootstraps your community on that app - lexicon cross compatibility, i.e. your data from app A shows up in a contextually relevant spot in app B. Or app B writes records that show up in app A. This is pretty key to get right because it might confuse or anger users if they aren't condition to expect it. Once the average user groks these features though, I'd be surprised if they voluntarily switch back to the standard corpo apps that eventually exit to some company who tries to monetize the shit out of every feature.

Regardless that increases the barrier to entry for the median developer compared to e.g. Github. In any case, there are several other providers for PDSs coming up and infra is one of the hot areas in the atproto community

A few hours from some expert consultants. Much cheaper than a dev team coding it up from scratch.

I intend to switch my custom built PC from windows to SteamOS 3.0. I haven't been a windows fan since I switched to Manjaro and eventually to Arch; the only reason I have it around is for gaming. But considering Proton is getting much better (and I'm gaming lesser), it seems like a pretty easy sell. In fact I think SteamOS has a lot of potential to bring gamers over to Linux; 3.0 uses arch with KDE so it's not really alien in terms of UI compared to windows. The biggest problem, as always, are GPU driver issues. But the steam handheld is already a successful unit that has seen some good traction, I wonder what a desktop version launched by steam would look like (they had the steam machines project but it looks pretty dead now).
