most people look at the xz exploit and see a problem, but i see opportunity. i say let the nsa and the pla provide funding and labor for our open source projects. they'll slip in the occasional backdoor, but it's a small price to pay for sustainable open source

me: mooom i want to cross the styx to the underworld mom: we have charon at home charon at home:

$10m in your hand right now BUT every time you sneeze you are teleported to a random location on earth do you take the money?

met a guy today who wouldn’t stop talking - makes $25k - votes libertarian - pro gun control and all drugs should be banned - lsd/cocaine invented by the military - iraq/afghanistan wars were good - wants to emigrate as the us has failed - everyone should stop voting so the people can be in power

nashville is like any freshly gentrified city except everyone wears country boots

feeling cursed to have discovered the “beast mode christian” playlist on spotify today, a mumble rap subgenre i was not prepared for

vibecamp has started and as predicted, there’s just orgies everywhere. people are out of control

Judging by hoodmaps, Baltimore seems like a real exciting place

a rant about remote work (software edition) remote work is a tug-of-war about the hours of the day and the brainspace allocated to work, a tacit negotiation between employer and employee about the time you spend on work and related rituals

noooooooooooo not again will someone please put an end to this vile language "mores"

this website is incredible: https://www.roadsideamerica.com/ (courtesy of @jet.tf) basically a list of american sidequests will there be a boss fight at the creepy mini-pyramid of madison, wi?

i will be doing a (possibly meandering) roadtrip from minneapolis to miami this summer. where should i stop along the way? i've never seen the midwest or the southern states

Isn’t half the point of bsky that centralized moderation is an unsolvable problem? Only a tiny fraction of the network seems interested in this at all. Sad!

raspberries are incredibly op berries. imagine how embarrassing it would be being a strawberry knowing that raspberries exist

rebranding again, meta abandons the metaverse to focus on the smoked meat vertical. zuckerberg himself is supervising the transition from his backyard

custom feed algos will only take the interests of the user into account, and not the interests of the network will new accounts end up completely excluded from common algos? will normies choose the most rage-inducing algorithms? will we have fewer common memes to shitpost about?

so they have these little shrines you enter and you do a cute little challenge there's 152 of them! i already have a full-time job! they need to make a tears of the kingdom: tired 30 y/o man edition

i was hoping i would enjoy tears of the kingdom, but it’s pretty boring. 13 year-old me would’ve loved it. old me needs more to play a single-player game

everyone who knows me knows that my boundless love for taylor swift dominates my every waking hour. from now on, you should expect a firehose of swiftie content from this account

my only desire is to make great content for my dear content consumers

insight porn but it’s naval getting railed in a sundress

knower is such a good band. they have this unhinged & shameless life energy that makes me want to bring out the same in myself

i have a vibecamp ticket but idk if i'm gonna go. what if i like it? what if i don't like it? the prudent choice would be to stay at home and not take the risk

i may be the emotional equivalent of a prude but parasocial relationships weird me out. subskeeting a SW lady on here who sent out cute little care packages to viewers it fills a void and makes people happy. but haven't we fucked up a little bit by outsourcing care/connection to internet strangers?

amazing

legiterally should be a word

there's this guy i used to work with who was the most petty, two-faced character i've ever had to deal with. now he's getting a lot of traction for his takes on managing software orgs moral of the story? linkedin is great and we should all spend more time there

i’ve been abducted and forced to watch eurovision. this is not a drill please send help

just let my friends cat go outside for the first time, mf hiding under a balcony scared for his life

hey @dholms.xyz the feed generator expects an asymmetric jwt, which is produced by the pds. is there any similar way to produce such tokens from a custom client in order to do signed requests?

what is the male equivalent of ”girlies”?

hearing rumors that the grass is very grassy today, better go check on it

i'm so out of the loop what is "zelda"

i am the tolga mert of my local burrito place

the worst part about having object permanence is understanding that muting/blocking people doesn’t actually disappear them, that my whole feed is an illusion

Someone asked on HN for a comparison between @atproto.com and @matrix.org and I had a stab at it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35886140. Corrections/clarifications welcome; it feels like this should be a blogpost or something rather than lost in the depths of HN...

can you really trust a dev team that doesn’t defend their territory like a swarm of wasps on pcp?

okay i am officially out of the loop what is alf

my cynical take is that the relationship between big tech employer and employee is fully opportunistic it's not about getting a gold watch when you retire pay is high, tenures are short, and people don't actually want to work there, right? layoffs are bad but isn't this what everyone signed up for

question about big graph servers. from the federation architecture blog post, the feed generator & app view select posts from a BGS and a number of PDSs presumably, your follows are fetched straight from the source and out-of-network recommendations are synthesized from the BGS firehose (?)

i was not convinced by that nostr post, but then i read the comments and that really swayed me. this is exactly the type of discourse we're missing here

third law of bluesky: every group wanting a new feature has an equal and opposite group not wanting that feature

would poll.blue engagement be better if we could post from our own accounts? 1️⃣ totally 2️⃣ nah 📊 Show results

make toy project. choose cool new tech because you can. suffer the consequences 😭 just stick with node, it works

so the appeal of the hellthread is that it's the opposite of the typical shouting-into-the-void experience it doesn't feel stable/healthy how unevenly attention is doled out on twitter-like apps, sucks to be a newcomer

@poll.blue are you a cat or dog person? || is berduck annoying or endearing? 1. cat || annoying 2. cat || endearing 3. dog || annoying 4. dog || endearing
