I have blue checks disables, this is the only label I care about

oh cool, new PDS labeler just dropped @pds.labeler.tny.im

Update on my labeler @pds.labeler.tny.im, after about 2 days: - 413 PDS found via firehose monitoring (roughly 1.6k left according to blue.mackuba.eu/directory/pd...) - Labels placed on 19824 accounts (includes some "weird ones," ask me about it) - 15-ish users 🥹 it would be nice to get some more 🥺

*Labeler, not label 🤦‍♂️ Proof of being human, I guess. This is also my first time using @tangled.org - tangled.org/@gbl08ma.com..., I'm liking it so far, even if it's understandably barebones.

My Independent PDS labeler is now live! @pds.labeler.tny.im I'm committed to keeping it up (as long as someone is using it), but this is also my first label and first slightly-complex project on ATProto, so let's see how the situation develops.

Time to design a logo for my Independent PDS labeler (releasing later today or tomorrow, hopefully?). Making something that's sufficiently recognizable in the tiny space for the avatar that labels have will be fun...

Even though nobody cares, I am writing some thoughts I had on how Bluesky implemented verification (the blue checks), on these verification systems in general, and how to maybe improve them. I'm not even halfway through my notes and I've spit out over 2000 words already 😵 Brevity is not my forte.

shreyanjain.net/2025/09/15/o... this very accurately explains the reasons many don't want bookmark/save counts on Bluesky #atproto #bluesky #bookmarks

Is the Quiet Posters feed by @why.bsky.team down for anyone else? For me, it has been returning an error for some days now, and I am not sure if it could be caused by my PDS migration. I tried searching but didn't find any recent complaints 😕 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Nine months later, I'm still not sure of what I want to do with it. I'm hosting my PDS under at.tny.im and I wonder if tny.im should become some ATProto thing, but what?

🤔 Machines rarely complained about expected problems until these "thinking" LLM-based agents came along, acting like every error they run into was totally expected. They have already taken longer to fix it than you would have - but you can use the free time to scroll through bsky. Such productivity!

Making an actual effort at trying out Bitwig to see if I can leave Windows & Ableton behind in peace (and yes I know this is 5.x and 6 will be much better). 1. Chat, are we cooking? 2. What genre is this even? lol (I swear every new project I make, a different one comes out. I'm such a noob)

Cookie Clicker has it set to a whopping 93 GB despite never using more than a few KB, lol steamdb.info/app/1454400/...

I'm in this picture and some days I like it, some days I don't. (With all the ID verification initiatives popping up worldwide, I suspect it won't be long until we can't choose not to be in the picture.)

Fusion Fix is almost mandatory for properly playing GTA IV on PC these days. It's the kind of work that should have been done, or at least acknowledged, by the small indie company still selling the game; instead, their 2020 update to this title probably removed more features (and music) than bugs.

Watched this yesterday and forgot to share, it's definitely very impressive (I hope the video doesn't get taken down for nonsense/unknown reasons like their Doom-in-Discord-embeds project)

Bluesky do make some real dumbass moderation decisions that isn’t going to help the platform in the long run.

Decentralization will continue until moderation improves 📈 +30% vs. earlier this week

On this day in 2003, Steam was launched.

I sometimes miss my self-contained distraction-free iPod Nano running Rockbox. Sadly the screen broke (bad caps, I think) and I'm not sure I care enough to spend 20 bucks on a new one. 4 GB of storage doesn't hold my entire library anymore, not even as 96k opus, and the battery is probably gone too.

political violence is a symptom of a failing system

Goodbye panthercap.us-east.host.bsky.network, hello at.tny.im! That's right, I just moved this account to my #SelfHosted PDS 😌 A big shout-out to @baileytownsend.dev for making pdsmoover.com and pds-gatekeeper!

inb4 people end up thanking bluesky moderation for taking down posts beyond what the community guidelines would seem to require

For over a decade, tny.im was a URL shortener; now, it is just a tale of how it ceased to be one. Stay tuned for more interesting things to come, eventually™️.

The (hopefully temporary) inability to move back to a Bluesky-hosted PDS from a self-hosted/unofficial one really makes the decision to self-host more heavy than it would otherwise be.

Agreed on the price-to-must-have ratio - but yes, it needs a recent-ish GPU.

Decisions, decisions... This was surprisingly simple to set up, using this unofficial Docker image docs.modernleft.org/Docker-Image... plus Caddy. Not sure for how long I am going to keep it around.

A smaller haul this #BandcampFriday (I've been busy, no time to find music). I don't even have to put the links in the alt text this time: - noisy.bandcamp.com/track/all-of-u - aedis-syopeen.bandcamp.com/album/megate... - worldwidewolf.bandcamp.com/album/caller... - sanxion7.com/album/grotes...

One of the ways that LLM-authored code improves productivity is by merely SAYING it does things. It's way faster than the whole time-consuming process of actually doing things. This is real code someone sent to me for review.

Until recently, I was apparently using an Audacity version from 2017-ish. I've recently switched OS which prompted the installation of the latest release. I was spared the "Muse hub" BS because this is Linux and package managers exist, but effing hell, Audacity is so slow to open now.

Ah yes, the HE1 headphones. Anyone own these bad boys?

There's someone on here who works for Google Play that can make the justification for this but it's a reminder that Google is a sleight of hand company that preys on open access as a concept to do what Apple does more explicitly.

🚨 Google is tightening the screws on Android freedom! Starting next year, they're blocking sideloading of "unverified" apps which requires all developers to identify themselves to Google. Goal is global 2027 rollout. This is a blow to Android's open ecosystem and user choice 🧵

Intel's 386 processor was popular in late 1980s microcomputers. From the outside, the 386 chip is a boring ceramic square. But I obtained a 3-dimensional CT X-ray scan from Lumafield, revealing six layers of complex wiring hidden inside the ceramic package. Let's take a closer look... 1/N

Have you ever noticed how in Cyberpunk 2077, every single song in the score is in the exact same key? What the fuck is that about? The only thing I can think of is that I guess it’d be easy to transition from one song to another, but FOR THE ENTIRE GAME???

My haul this #BandcampFriday Links to each album/track in the alt text, if nothing messes them up. By the way, if I were to spend this much every other month, it'd still be cheaper than a Spotify subscription - and I get to choose who actually gets the money.

That's not me, is it? Oh...

Ahh, HBD beloved Ethereum 🎉 whose smart contracts and token standard (ERC-20) were arguably great enablers of the birth of the "modern cryptobro" that mostly treats digital assets as dumb stocks/get-rich-quick-schemes rather than (programmable) currency. 😑

this is what it feels like to get pulled into a Quick Meeting To Sync Up

Developers who make an effort to write meaningful patch notes **and companies that let those patch notes get all the way to the end user** must be protected at all costs.

Apparently some slop squatters noticed LLMs hallucinating Unity C# package names into JS projects and set up payloads on NPM which gets noticed and flagged as a security threat by NPM maintainers. LLM powered vulnerability scanner comes along and reads a Unity C# project and says 🚨Critical Vuln🚨

This meme means very different things to Linux users and to cheat makers. One group is despicable and the other is commendable; even those within each group surprisingly disagree on which is which.

i think more feeds need to have a basic system that filters out posts you have definitely seen before. its a chore to scroll down all the posts you have seen before just to get to the unseen ones
