Not to derail this thread, but is there any way of seeing whether I'm actually on the waitlist? I remember signing up late last year, but there was never any confirmation and I never got the survey which I've heard people talking about. I'm super interested to try out Bluesky, but haven't been able to find anyone with an invite.
Also would like to know this, I haven’t received any confirmation email or survey either, and each time I “join the waitlist” it just gives me a success message as if I’m not already on the list.
I would like to know this as well. I never got a confirmation and I could have swore I signed up months ago when it first opened. I signed up again a few weeks ago and didn't receive a confirmation then either.
I suspect it's due to me using an uncommon tld for my primary email.
Did you sign an invite code using the key in their bio? That's so neat! I'm not sure if you have more, but I'm also on the waitlist (bluesky@owen.sh) and would love to check it out.
That is very cool! Without utterly derailing this thread I'd love one too, I've been on the waitlist for a little while too but no luck yet. Eager to reserve my handle and kick the tyres early on.
I will say to be on topic that I am enjoying Mastodon, but the network effect isn't there yet. It's a pretty small minority of users from my feed that have either switched or are dabbling in both, so tech stack aside, I feel if Bluesky gets momentum it has the best chance of being a drop-in replacement for Twitter in the near-to-medium term, given the relative simplicity (this isn't a knock against Mastodon, more an acknowledgement of simplicity's factor in mass appeal).
I honestly think this is malicious on Microsoft's part. Ignoring the fact that this is being portrayed as a Linux flaw when it's really a flaw in a project called networkd-dispatcher, the original article seems to suggest that this project is part of systemd-networkd, when it's really just a third party project with no relation. I'm clearly not the only one who thought this, as most commenters seem to have come to the conclusion that this is a systemd project. It's not even packaged by that many distros (just Debian and derivatives) [1]. The developer even said that no one contacted them [2]. This on top of having typical "exploit marketing" (like a catchy name, a big ASCII art banner, and a long blog post with graphics) really can't lead me to a charitable conclusion.
But libadwaita hasn't taken away the ability to try? You can still load custom themes through GTK_THEME and specific CSS through ~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css.
