I like my own posts to save them. Not because I’m super vain (only a little) 😉
New feature: Protection Rules

You can protect posts from deletion by liking them first.
Or automatically protect posts above a certain like threshold.

All enforced before deletion calls hit your PDS.

Friendly reminder to tell people that build cool shit that they build cool shit.

Lotta bad out there and you could make the difference in someone’s day!

Making something is hard. Putting something out there that you made is harder.

If something isn’t for you that’s totally cool! Just uh, don’t be a jerk about it?

Been wanting to get into World of Warcraft lately. Idk how to just jump in a 20 year plus game. But it sounds like I just jump in. Going to find a lore video so I know what the heck is going on.

WWDC presentation is gonna be interesting this year assuming everything needs to be pushed back with Siri issues.

Maybe we can do a Snow Leopard year with design/UX clean up.

If you ever wish you could erase posts (or likes) from 1 month ago or 3 months, or 6 months, etc. Check out deletem.app. Simple time range filters make cleanup easy.

Since the RC came out last week, we thinking iOS 26.3 is dropping today? I always love a good bug fix.

I cannot stress this question enough. What the actual fuck goes on at Fortinet? At this point they are grossly negligent or working with nation states.

By the time you’re done reading this, there may be another vuln announcement from them.

Luke warm take-- Services might as well not offer 2FA if you make your users set up SMS as a fall back.

I made a POC of Deletem for Mastodon, and their rate limits were comical (30 deletions per 30 min) and basically killed the project.

Based on the docs, it seems the bsky team is open to expanding them depending on the use case. I’ll look into submitting some formal request on their end.
Drafts are cool. But you know what’s cooler? Not rate limiting on deleting posts. @bsky.app #featurerequest

Discovering drafts are now on BlueSky app.
