Wealthy celebrities (those with passive income, not the rich ones who had to work hard) should randomly donate to their fans, or through a raffle. Why? As a gesture of appreciation for continually supporting them. It's random, with government and NGO oversight, to make it fair.

Hi @rocksky.app , is there an option to login with an App Password? I need to refresh my session so I can scrobble but #Bluesky stilu hasn't fix the issue about them not sending 2FA emails to me, almost 10 days now. 😭 My only option is to use an app password.

If it's any consolation for the Koreans, it's actually the same in the rest of Pacific-Asia. Skills and know-how no longer matters. The priority is what companies call "teachable". They believe that expertise and skills can be taught equally and everyone will produce results equally.

There are countless websites that generate color palettes, but I needed a reusable package for my own apps. So I built dittoTones. 🟣 It mimics the perceptual DNA (Lightness/Chroma curves) of popular systems and blends them with your target hue → meodai.github.io/dittoTones/

Knetz overreacting about everything as usual. She did NOT cut her hair short, she trimmed it and applied a different haircut style, that's all. People reacting with "Is it because she is married?"

There's another batch coming next year, there was none since 2014. .wang is from the same batch.

Crazy. Now I'm wondering what other new TLDs that didn't make the news and various lists so this day we have no idea they exist.

My mobile provider: Upgrade now to get additional data and faster speeds! Me: I have a grandfathered account with unlimited Internet aed guaranteed current-year speed as per our contract. You're asking me to downgrade. 🤣

Yey! Done! I'm happy! I almost gave up at 4k because there was gas trapped in my pathways which was making it very hard to breath. So, I adjusted my breathing to cope up with it, as well as rested in-between, until I burped it all out. 😂 I still don't know what's causing it though.

It's December 28, 2025! Time to prepare my last #run of the year! Let's end the year right so we can start 2026 better than last. #Health #Fitness

the thing about 2-factor authentication, or at least *a* thing, is that then you've got another element in the system that can break at really inopportune times ask me how i know

this is how i lost my first og bluesky account and support told me that they couldn’t do anything (they literally just didn’t send emails to me anymore for 2fa but sent marketing still lol)

This is likely what's happening to my account since December 21, 2025. I am not receiving any emails from Bluesky PDS (2FA and change email) for a week now. I'm just relying on not-yet-expired sessions. For services that expires within a week like Rocksky, I can no longer use it. 😭😭😭😭

I think they automatically suspended accounts for that reason last weekend. After a lot of complaints, I think they reverted it, because on X there are several people saying the same as you: they have their accounts restored but without any official communication explaining the reasons.

It's a week already and I'm still waiting for a 2FA email to get sent. I can't login to #ATproto services because of this #bug. Lessons here: 1. Do NOT use email-based 2FA 2. App password login is crucial as backup login method #ATmosphere #SocialWeb

The protocol is nothing without a killer app though

i'm glad the team is not letting the protocol stagnate, and important pieces are being fixed. i'm really really glad and yet i miss the app getting better. or seeing some new vision behind it. what we have now doesn't feel like a vision, the vibe is mostly like a hobbyist clone of a fading product

i wonder what the app team is working on. though it's also partially my fault with past prioritization, the app still feels like a less polished and incomplete replica of old twitter. the genuinely novel parts (feeds, labelers) feel poorly bolted on. and the default feed is still not good enough.

In a country supposedly all about freedom, Australian Journalists are afraid to call out the incompetence of Australia's intelligence and security network. Their solution, use the #Philippines as an scapegoat and brand the country an IS training camp. What's next? You'll invade the Philippines?

This. Not many know this. It's technically one gift per day of the year. So, if you think about it, your true love loves you so much that they gave you a gift for 364 days. But what about the 365th / 366th day(s)? It's for themselves! Give them a break! 🤪

To all the 5,000 refugees of handles club (handles.club & handles.net), there is also vanity.blue @vanity.blue if you're looking for a new custom handle.

I don't know what happened but it looks like @handles.net & @handles.club closed shop.t If you still have ATmosphere handles hosted there, plan to set it up yourself or find a new one.

So many non-Filipinos are jealous of Filipino Tennis master, Alex Eala, they won't stop throwing accusations and drama about her. Two most recent are: she's supposedly anti-LGBTQ (she's not) and she supposedly cheated during the SEA Games (proven clean).

Majority of them will go back to Twitter but the Japanese more likely won't. When Twitter Migration 1.0 happened in 2016/7, that was when Japanese users dominatid the Fediverse. They had multiple largest instances. It was only broken during Twitter Migration 2.0 because of Elon.

I wish they would add something cool to the app to draw users in a positive way

The @graze.social community is like the @guildwars2.com players, everyone is helpful and friendly. We're a family.

Ironically, the 2025 #Kdrama «Tempest» («Polaris» in Korea) is about North Korea's largest nuclear submarine in the world and the US is hell-bent on finding & destroying it, while South Korea is stuck in the middle. IRL, South Korea is the one planning to build it with help from the USA.

Just a reminder, if you no longer hear from me from this account, it is because I was locked-out. #Bluesky is _not_ sending two-factor authentication emails to me since December 21, 2025 and I haven't heard from @support.bsky.team because of their DMARC policy. See @sera.is.youronly.one temporarily

there are plenty of tools, but they are not widely discoverable. there are obviously subcommunities of bluesky users that have high engagement with these tools, but the majority of bluesky users probably don't even know what kinds of tools might be available, less how to shop around among options.

And may be seen as an indication the recipient has done something wrong when in reality most blocks are just "I do not want to see this person's posts in my feed". Which muting should suffice for, but people are more used to using the block button.

The account affected is @youronly.one. I tested my email multiple times and it is working. This is on Bluesky PDS end. Their email is not sending me any email related to change email & 2FA, I don't see any in my logs, not even a failure. Only support is appearing but failid because of their DMARC.

It has been 24 hours & I'm still not receiving any email from Bluesky related to 2FA & change email address. My main account is practically locked-out, I'm only relying on the last active session. Their support replied once but they have a misconfigured DMARC so it failed. Not in spam folder.
