Just after a day of this I'm highly skeptical about the on/off protocol discourse. Any measure of privacy requires breaking the whole way blobs are created/fetched. If you want to store them in a manner that is private it's immediately considered off protocol unless you're doing hydration gymnastics

Digging into lexicons, seems that in theory I can extend the app.bsky lexicon with my own very uniquely named records which is ideal if I'm looking to tweak how records are created while allowing them to be seen by all clients 🤔

Alright so the bread loaves I thought were a disaster are actually the best tasting I’ve ever baked. The rise was just a bit garbage.

Converted my desktop turned server back to a desktop by simply installing a dm on top of fedora server. Lxqt was flakey so I installed kde which was nice, removed lxqt which cause plasma to break and I couldn’t resolve the library issues. Installed cinnamon and it works but sddm randomly chokes.

I would complain Europeans aren’t trying hard enough but we speak too many languages
UPDATE: We may see the first time English is displaced as the most popular language among Bluesky posters as soon as Americans head to sleep tonight.
Japanese users were close to achieving that feat at 7 am Eastern Time, and their activity is increasing at an exponential pace. This is remarkable.

This package throws away data privacy and replaces it with a “tell us if this counts a personal data” model while treating AI as a legitimate interest allowing companies to completely bypass any data privacy protections. Media companies and mobile _devices_ would be exempted from data consent.
The European Commission (EC) is considering a “Digital Omnibus” package that would substantially rewrite EU privacy law, particularly the landmark General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It’s not a done deal, and it shouldn’t be. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

I’m about 70% through building a replacement tool for handling AWS access management from slack and it’s surprisingly not terrible.
Going to finish the core logic today and wrap it up tomorrow then pivot to finishing up a mockup I’ve been chewing. At some point I’ll start the ts course.

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are
1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

Continuing its trend, the FDA is now informing apparel companies making binders for trans people that they cannot sell medical devices.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.
