Several windows programs won't work with Wine. Would running a Windows VM be a better option? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

In my personal opinion: Yes. Wine is great and all, but in the end it's an emulation layer that - in the worst case - requires a lot of tweaking. I personally wouldn't want to spend that time so a VM sounds like a good option. But again, depending on the context (e.g. limited hardware resources or the amount of time available) you might be totally fine with Wine.

I don't see any need for BlueSky at all when there already is a great network in the form of Mastodon. I mean all (most) of the ideas you mentioned apply one-to-one to Mastodon as well. To me they have very similar ideas.

Edit: Deleted because I mixed up two different products lol.

I still think they could make federation an opt-in preference though.

Yeah so effectively not federated. Pretty sure they're not actually interested in federating anyway
