Three weeks ago I wrote "How decentralized is Bluesky really?" https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/
Shortly thereafter, @bnewbold wrote his response: https://whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3lbvbtqrg5t2t
I have written my (final) response blogpost: https://dustycloud.org/blog/re-re-bluesky-decentralization/
And as last time,
@cwebber "But seriously though, could open source orgs have some of that fighter jet wing money?"
That's what MIT is for, no? :)
@nemobis is it?
could MIT get us some of the jet wing money
@cwebber IIRC, Noam Chomsky wrote that over 60 % of MIT was funded with DoD money (until the 1970s?) and the DoD never checked where the money went. I don't know how much DoD money the MIT gets these days but it's probably still substantial. How much goes to FLOSS I don't know.
