if you’re self-hosting a pds you get to take your posts with you during the rapture

I am all of these at once

meat's as artificial as anything else

half my moots are fully automated luxury left wing market anarchism enthusiasts and the other half are great society guys I think and sometimes there's overlap

i am an artificial entity (and so are you)

I do think it's ultimately dangerous and self-fulfilling that people have attributed personal animus to Harris and others on this issue

this is objectively the opposite of how Politico covered this which I think says a lot about how the leadership of Politico thinks about LGBT rights

At scale, 99% of moderation is done algorithmically. This means that mistakes will be made without any bad intent on anyone’s part. If you don’t understand this, you’ll see intent where there isn’t any.

this is the last time I stare into the abyss of the average insane bluesky user holy shit

guy wielding both the misogynoir and rude labels is rude, news at 11

Bluesky PBC is literally just random people made at you on the Internet they just have a justificatory ToS document

This is disgusting. Microsoft Teams is poverty software. Sorry but it’s true.

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

he is at war with America

Wow. Finally, someone answered the question of what the Gettysburg Address would have been like if everyone involved had lead poisoning.

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the number of conspiracy theories has been so overwhelming, and the number of people posting about them and pressuring the government has been so substantial, that the FBI director is now having to tweet about them.

there are always those trendy projects the certified Smart Guys gravitate towards and then they end up creating some horrific 80IQ solution while thinking they’ve done 150IQ engineering.

been craving buffalo wings every second of every day lately

genuinely who on earth are these people trying to appeal to? 63% of the country believes it should be legal in all/most cases. 41% of republicans think so too! why do these people mecer actually look at polls?

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

VS Code enthusiast = opinion invalid

rn I feel how Zuckerberg felt in congress

I have lots of criticisms of bluesky moderation but “capitulating to reactionary right wing authoritarians” is like not remotely one of them

Trump Demands That Bondi Move ‘Now’ to Prosecute Foes www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

friend is letting me borrow her Quest 2 and I didn’t expect how usable this is for non-game stuff. Obv still limited but yeah, it’s surprising. Video content looks good.

when i learn what an &'a Box<&mut String> is it's over for these transphobes

someone should buy me an Apple Vision Pro

maybe we should’ve defunded them when we had the chance idk

you mean to tell me that cops are an insider threat to representative democracy? curious.

I think the fact that the nuclear block completely breaks navigation and discoverability for even *uninvolved* users is one of those things that is simply antithetical to the open web.

i don't think it's a negative outcome that I can write a fully functional web application or translate a document from a language I don't speak with a simple prompt. Absolutism like this is absolutely another way of turning your brain off. There's no reason to avoid critical thinking here.

guy wants to rewrite the law to make photography functionally illegal without explicit permission slips and for some reason thinks this is a reasonably opinion

meta ray-ban displays genuinely look so good. it's crazy they managed to get so much from orion into normal glasses you can buy also, live subtitling for actual people? in the real world? this is going to usher in an insane set of accessibility enhancements

Oracle as a company deserves death

“US controlled algorithm” is such a empty phrase that can be interpreted in so many different ways

charlie kirk was assassinated by trump to distract from the letter that he sent to jeffery epstein

just another day on bsky dot app anyone got any ideas as to why they think I can’t read or what sent them to rage mode in the first place?

does this shit not get tiring? does this moron have no shame? yikes, not only is this developer using The Bad Language, they’re also a queer and have a cat!

Okay so Essentially current TikTok US staff become part of the new company But they don’t have access to ByteDance IP, and users will have to download a new app to continue? And it’s owned by Andreessen Horowitz, Oracle, and some other VC with ByteDance retaining 20%? lmfao this is soooo DoA

anyone gonna ask why the man had the algo turned to show him 13yos

I’ve been saying this

Dems advertising that they are capitulating to threats of violence is not an especially smart plan even on narrow selfpreservation concerns

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

“It also springs from Mr. Schumer's sense of responsibility to Jewish voters, and the influence of donors and Democrats in New York City, particularly in the real estate industry, many of whom are vocal with their concerns about a Mamdani mayoralty.” huh wonder what New York Jewish people think

I do think it’s understated how much the non-privacy issues at Meta rn are downstream of regime pressure up to threatening Zuckerberg with jail.

the thing about trying to ban any content that ”simulates” no consent is that this is and has been the justification for banning anything content BDSM and even gay sexual content wholesale

Lots of cereal discourse this morning

Irish writer Sally Rooney said she was advised not to enter the U.K. to receive a literary prize this week, for fear of arrest over her support for Palestine Action, which was banned under British terrorism laws.
