Passkeys can feel confusing at first, but once it clicks, you realise they’re one of the most meaningful improvements to authentication in years. No passwords. No phishing. Just you proving it’s you. If you want to understand them (or implement them), Passkey Central is a solid place to start.

you can read more about how they work here www.passkeycentral.org/introduction...

Spent the whole week figuring out how to do task management in Obsidian only to rediscover how similar my natural process is to @todoist.com. 😅 I really tried after Apple Reminders fell short, but sometimes you just need to admit defeat and move on. Still love Markdown for everything else though!

Opinion: Avi Lewis has at least one idea Albertans should consider calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

@groundnews.bsky.social → @ground.news ? 👀 I really value your service. You have become my primary means of catching up on news. 🙌 Have you considered updating your handle to help users verify it is really you?

@quad9dns.bsky.social => @quad9.net ? 👀 Love the service so far, but let’s make it easier for users to know it’s really you. 🙂

Anyone else spent the time refreshing their inbox waiting for a code via email considering whether they could replace the service with something else? 😒 Something that avoids the horrible user experience of SMS or email based sign in codes. Honestly. Do better by your users.

I really enjoyed this post. A lot of points that hit home for me. It will definitely occupy my thoughts for a while.

@gandersocial.ca Yay! Look at that snazzy handle! 🤩 (Minor: Bluesky link on the Gander blog still points to gandersocial.bsky.social, which now shows page not found.)

@gandersocial.bsky.social → @gandersocial.ca? 👀🙂

In Vancouver? Catch us at #ATmosphereConf for the next few days. We’ll have invites to Gander, stickers (important), and time to chat with fellow decentralized social aficionados. Will we come back with crazy ideas inspired by some very smart people? Probably.

Thank you Signal! 🙌 Drama be damned! Finally my label as “Favourite Child” can reflect what everyone knows to be true in our family chat. 😇

This is a beautiful post that I recommend reading. samhenri.gold/blog/2026031...

@gandersocial.bsky.social minor but I figured I would let you know. Your Bluesky social link on your website should be: bsky.app/profile/gand... It currently shows “page not found”.

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7

Whoever thought shifting clocks twice a year was a good idea. 😒 This was the last time for us in BC. 🥲🤞 Although stopping the practice is welcomed, we will see next winter if ignoring scientific recommendation and choosing permanent daylight saving time over standard time was the correct choice.

And just like that we’re done changing our clocks!? 🥹 “Adopting permanent daylight saving time ‘Spring forward’ on March 8 will be the last time change, ending twice-yearly clock changes.”

Been looking forward to this album for a while. 🥹 It does not disappoint! 🤘 The Beast Goes On - Starbenders

This is why bias and factuality labels before you post or engage are so powerful. The for profit and engagement above all else algorithms on other social media also exacerbate the problem by giving these accounts an outsized platform. Screenshot from @gandersocial.bsky.social. 🙌

Can’t thank @aendra.com enough for @xblock.aendra.dev. 🙇 Very rarely does a screenshot from another platform spark joy. In fact it usually just spreads the anger, hate, and fear that are unfortunately hallmarks of the platforms owned and operator by a billionaire.

What if “⚠️ Invalid Handle” is a super secret form of Bluesky verification and where only the cool kids hang out on here? 🤔 Also, TIL you can’t tag someone with a handle like that because it shows up like @handle.invalid when you select them from the autocomplete search results. 😅

Arch Enemy - To The Last Breath Arch Enemy have also revealed their new singer, Lauren Hart, formerly of Once Human.

Absolutely incredible cover by @maphramusic.bsky.social! 🙌 Bring Me The Horizon - Doomed (MAPHRA Vocal Cover)

@steampowered.com any idea when @diablo.blizzard.com 2 Resurrected will be available on GeForceNow?

I don’t always continvoucly morge, but when I do, I prefer bugfixes into develop.

Look at what changes under proportional representation. Votes count in every region, regional monopolies lose their grip, and governing requires real majority support. That is a healthier democracy than winner take all politics.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Signal video and voice calls are now supported for up to *75 participants*! Share your screen, raise your hand, react with the right emoji, and create easily shareable call links with Signal calls. signal.org/blog/call-li...

4. Democratic reform Proportional representation is the gold standard for fair elections. John Horgan supported pro-rep — now Eby says he’s done with it. Meanwhile, it’s more popular than ever /5

Another Tuesday, another chance for a @gandersocial.bsky.social beta invite. 🤞

v1.116 is rolling out now! For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

Hello, Bluesky brand owners. I beg, if you own a reputable website of note, PLEASE do the bare minimum & do the DNS dilligence to confirm that you are the account you say you are. It may seem like a minor thing, but it verifies you're the true source big time. blueskyweb.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/art...

Congratulations on the verification @signal.org! 🎉

BC’s own Electoral Reform Committee recommended a Citizens’ Assembly. That is a serious democratic process that deserves action, not delay. If you want a voting system where results actually reflect voters, now is the moment to speak up.

Have you heard about Gander? I can't wait to ditch Facebook here in Canada & switch to this new social app. We spoke to Gander's co-founder/CEO on this week's new ep of The AmberMac Show podcast (available everywhere now, also below): www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2iD... cc @jeffmacarthur.bsky.social

What’s coming up for Gander? Tune in to the Amber Mac Show for an in-depth conversation on topics like: moderation, monetization, and misinformation (oh my)! You know, and what to expect in the coming months. Shout-out to both @ambermac.bsky.social and the folks that submitted questions.

This is so useful. Thank you! 🙇

Reminder that you can use a custom domain as your handle on Bluesky and your previous handle is automatically reserved in the process. “If you change your default Bluesky username (with the .bsky.social suffix) to a website URL, your old .bsky.social username will be reserved for you.”

Happy new year folks! 🎉 May 2026 be filled with joy, peace, and love. ❤️

Stranger Things finale was excellent. End of an era. 🥲
