Bluesky issues its first transparency report, noting rise in user reports and legal demands | TechCrunch
Bluesky's first transparency reports tackle moderation, regulatory compliance, account takedowns, and more. The number of government legal requests went up fivefold.

I like to come on bksy for the positive vibes and get sucked into a CSS or web components hole. I mean really I could do a lot worse and have done with alternative platforms in the past. I like how my "time wasted" here is generally still net positive. 👍 Keep up the good work folks👍

Now that the dust has begun to settle, are these AI agents actually taking our jerbs? 🤔 Or did the tech monopolies just use it as an excuse to downsize and ship worse products? 😠

I'm beginning to suspect that a key skill in working effectively with coding agents is developing an intuition for when you don't need to closely review every line of code they produce. This feels deeply uncomfortable!

. Silksong and Animal Well spend most of their time in "where tf am I (good)", but it's a very risky game. Rain World was great, but it did nudge me into "where tf am I (bad)" a little too often for my taste.
