@freeuse.toys I suspect you’re aware but just incase, it seems the sentiment bot and real followers bot got a bit recursive last night: bsky.app/profile/real... Thank you for all your hard work!! ❤️

@realfollowers.bsky.social

lmfao brutal

I always do the big important medical ones, so this time I’m just gonna say—long distance calls are free now.

Silly useless thing i made github.com/InvoxiPlayGa... in theory on an RGH/BadUpdate you can send any XEX but it's rather strict with what actually gets running. haven't debugged why yet

The Russians hacked Jared's phone. Then Dutch cyberspies then reverse-engineered that hack, giving them unprecedented access to his world. Bananas story in @vanityfair.com

Also new in today’s v1.136 update: iPad support! One of our most-requested features is finally here in beta. Try out the Bluesky app on your iPad, and if you see anything off, let us know under Settings > Beta features.

Maybe the BBC should get someone who actually knows what he is talking about then.

The Aberfan tribunal report (3 August 1967) directly blamed the National Coal Board (NCB) It cited a “terrifying tale of bungling ineptitude by men charged with tasks for which they were totally unfitted, of failure to heed clear warnings, and of total lack of direction from above”. 1/…

@blowdart.me bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi... ANOTHER ONE?

PHP Foundation kind of found the first vuln in 2024 but "the PHP security team, operating on consensus, struggled to choose between these and feared the repercussions of shipping the wrong choice" don't dunk on a bunch of volunteers for that; dunk on everyone depending on but not funding PHP enough

looking at the news as a backend support engineer

not a fan of people saying "ofc its php being vulnerable" and their idea of php vulnerability is dogshit outdated wordpress with a million plugins being popped and not once-in-a-decade Every System Is Vulnerable vuln like this one

Bad day to launch my PHP based certificate authority

yeah i wouldnt trust any mitigation as a solution to be unexploitable until patches drop. if uptime doesn't matter then the mitigation can be done fairly simply by doing the following:

I love the “not everyone can afford headphones” line. As if it’s obligatory to play shitty TikTok’s on public transport and you can’t possibly be expected to go 10 minutes without assaulting your eyeballs with mindless crap

Jesus. I also think it’s not a great look (commercially as much as anything) for Wales Online to publish a first person article that essentially says “turns out North Wales exists, wow guys have you heard about it”

I am sorry, which company is this? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

*sighs in passkeys* Or even totp for fucks sake. Y’all know email codes aren’t safe.

Hey @bsky.app, any chance we could get real multi-factor authentication set up for login and account changes? Sending two-factor codes by email is a joke. You might as well write them on postcards. No, sending by SMS is not an improvement. How did you launch without even implementing a TOTP?

Why is a retired banjo playing, public school nepo-baby on the BBC's flagship Newsnight commenting on the Red Wall? And why no mention that: Winston Marshall only has a political platform because his Dad is billionaire Paul Marshall... owner of GB NEWS and the Spectator.

YES. JESUS CHRIST YES. ITS ONLY BEEN AROUND 3 YEARS. WE DON'T NEED IT. www.techspot.com/news/114234-...

2 weeks at a Tenpin place where I got sent home twice for "being rude" to the manager who was a cock to me - and then was shocked that I in fact wasn't going to take it and was happier finishing my BTEC!

no offence but why is the British public being asked about my medical diagnosis, would it also like to check out my ankles and my elbows to decide whether I really have hypermobile joints, should I cough on them next time I have a cold so they can confirm that I'm ill

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Same paper, same journalist, a few weeks apart. I'd say it was cognitive dissonance, but that gives them too much credit. It's simply propaganda in the service of xenophobia and racism

"AI could take over and self-replicate to smart home devices!" mythos and sol trying to run on a smart fridge with a 800mhz cpu and 512mb ram:

The beautiful sounds of the Xbox 360 devkit sh- WINDOWS XP??

Today, the Telegraph can exclusively reveal that people who've got nowt often live near each other in less well off neighbourhoods. More as we get it.

I think 'the Tiger in the Tiger Who Came To Tea is an analogy for your mum having an affair' is my absolute favourite 'this absolutely isn't what the author meant, the author has disavowed it, but it is just about plausible' way-too-serious reading of a children's book. What's yours?

well done lads, it's 2026 & you've managed to allow the fucking Sun to position itself as slightly less hostile to people who support LGBT+ rights than The Big Supposedly Gay Dancing Show

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

Microsoft has announced that Windows Update will be discontinued on legacy versions of Windows, including Windows 7, 8.1, and most versions of Windows 10, in June 2027. A set of critical certificates will expire, and no update will be issued to resolve this on older versions. More info:

🌎⬆️ In advance of critical Windows Update certificates expiring, Legacy Update 1.14 extends our proxy server to be used on Windows 7 and later. We’ve also made it easier to choose whether you want to use the Legacy Update website or the built-in Windows Update control panel.

One of the understated aspects of the death-of-the-high-street thing is quite how grim many major high street shops have become. Recently been to a Marks, Clarks, John Lewis, Boots. All of them really quite unpleasant experiences: empty, grimey, horribly lit, hardly any staff.

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

The machine did not "go rogue." The machine belongs to and is the responsibility of the people who own it. Hold those people accountable for their goddamn machine.
