Are there any other account providers/servers on @bsky.app or are we all still using the Bluesky instance? Feels like this never really opened up like it was supposed to. It’d be great to see a server list like on Mastodon, so we can have some idea of how/if the @atproto.com protocol is expanding.

OUC is a failed agency that puts residents at risk every day with avoidable mistakes that cost lives. @janeese4dc.bsky.social as Mayor, how will you transform this agency to reliably provide the help we deserve when we need it most? OUC needs a Randy Clarke-style makeover.

This is a modern day book banning and we shouldn’t accept it in DC. @janeese4dc.bsky.social is this really the standard we want to set for our kids in DC? As Mayor, how would you respond to this? Do you support @dcpublicschools.bsky.social removing full-length novels from their curriculum?

This is one of the most-shared posts on Bluesky in the past day and it's just completely false. You might think ChatGPT is a *bad* search engine, or prefer another search engine. But it has had integrated web search since last year.

iCloud Private Relay seems to be down for me. Unsurprisingly there is no report of an outage on Apple's status page (www.apple.com/support/syst...) but is anyone else having connectivity issues on their Apple devices?

I can’t wait to not buy a Tesla next year when the lease on my Model Y is up. When I originally signed it I couldn’t imagine ever getting another car/brand. Now I can’t imagine ever getting another Tesla.

Spot the difference!

What a great idea to drastically cut the workforce of public health departments during an ongoing bird flu outbreak. To quote a very stable genius during a different outbreak: "If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any" We're in good hands.. I mean tiny hands. Whoops.

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.” He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.

okay then let’s do churches next

so can we get that nintendo switch 2 pre-order going now?

I'm confused. How is America's golden age supposed to start without becoming the richest country through tariffs? Weren't these supposed to be really important and permanent?

10-year yield going vertical here. Something’s gonna break.

BREAKING: Nasdaq-100 futures down 5.4%, S&P 500 futures down 3.84% If this holds, this is the worst three day period in the market since 1987, worse than any three day Covid period.

Will the new Switch 2 cartridges have enough capacity to entirely store games like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077 or will these merely be hardware licenses that still require large downloads to play? I want to keep buying physical games, but not if these AAA titles require a download.

There’s so much GOP cope happening today. “At least Wisconsin approved voter ID so libs can’t cheat” Wisconsin has required voter ID since 2015. You spent millions of dollars and got your ass kicked for a rule that already existed and that fundamentally changes nothing.

The people of Wisconsin cannot be bought. Let’s prove that the rest of American voters aren’t for sale either. 🇺🇸

EMAILS @reckless.bsky.social

This was not a mistake - it was a message. Your "protected status" means nothing and they might kidnap you and send you to prison abroad with no way or desire to bring you back. Just another step in their campaign to get immigrants to "self-deport."

I pay for ChatGPT because I don’t think the robots will go after their subscribers first

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

I don’t like that the Google app on iOS funnels all of your links through the search.app domain when sharing something. Please just give me the source URL!

Let’s hope that the @signal.org team is upping their red team activity because I’m guessing there’s a big increase in state-sponsored attempts at infiltrating phones of government officials starting now. I’d also hope that their MDM admin was forcing OS updates but these are prob. personal devices.

Why do people support dictators? How do dictators come to power? We teamed up with history professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat to answer the internet's burning questions about authoritarianism and fascism.

Apple ordered to open encrypted user accounts globally to UK spying

I enabled Advanced Data Protection on my iCloud account today, and so should you.

One reason so many people are so unclear on what’s happening is the hesitation to deliver a more general theory of the case. Go ahead, break out the big type

I don’t agree w/ AltStore claiming Apple approved a porn app, but I do wish we could use 3rd party app stores in the US. This stunt doesn’t make AltStore look good. Tim Sweeney is wrong abt porn being allowed in Reddit app. To view 18+ you must hunt down a setting on Reddit.com & toggle it on.

the entire tech industry in 2025: we believe we can achieve artificial general intelligence soon Apple: doesn't it suck to create calendar events for birthday parties guys??

New to the hypocrisy of Elon Musk? He has benefitted handsomely from federal spending. Examples: Tesla reported $10B+ in sales of environmental credits (since 2015). SpaceX has been paid more than $19B from federal contracts… www.cnbc.com/2024/11/07/h...

So this Netflix price hike was a pretty big wake-up call. A small increase in price overall, but I honestly had no idea I was paying ~$18 per month for Netflix through T-Mobile but what do you know after a couple of clicks now I’m paying $0 for Netflix.

Elon: How much code have you written today Random federal worker: I don't code in this position Elon: Are you ready to go extremely hardcore Worker: I mostly sort the mail

Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

I feel like there should be a Bluesky feed of users with custom domains as usernames, which should make it easier to follow real people. Is there a way to make a feed like this? Has someone done it already?

The world's richest man has joined a growing chorus of right-wing voices attacking Wikipedia as part of an intensifying campaign against free and open access information. Why do they hate it so much?

Big miss for the Apple Mail update which brings verified logos next to what are supposed to be official emails from big brands. Received this scam for “$Disney Coin” cryptocurrency with a “verified logo.” Guessing Disney uses Salesforce email, so did the scammer, so Apple considered it verified.

Another awesomely useless interaction with Apple Intelligence on my iPhone. I asked: “how many episodes are in season 7 of the office” and it just launches the Home app and takes me to the controls for my smart light named “Office.” Really great.

Well that’s two nights this week staying up until 2am going deep in r/aviation. I feel horrible for everyone affected.

Another Apple Intelligence unforced error: “how many episodes are in squid game season 2?” I really think that Apple should be punting many more of these queries to ChatGPT, which can get this easily verifiable answer correctly. Instead we’re getting replies from some outdated Apple web scraper.
