Let’s talk about Direct File.

It’s a free, easy way for people to file their taxes directly online with IRS.

You keep your tax refund — rather than paying $150 to a sleazy tax prep company.

It’s more efficient!

But these Republicans want you to keep wasting money on TurboTax.

1/ With more users joining Bluesky, we know how important it is to identify which accounts are real. Users deserve confidence that the accounts they interact with are authentic.

This is highly concerning, as the data is being used at scale without users' consent. I don't believe privacy laws support this approach. Please see the responses from the users on the below thread. They are not at all happy.

This post really blew up! I really appreciate the enthusiasm. If I knew it'd be this popular I would've downloaded more posts. Next time maybe :)
Releasing: a dataset of two million Bluesky posts.

This dataset has been collected using Bluesky's API, and I hope it will be useful for all the researchers out there!

Before Blue Sky grows anything bigger, we need a stable verification system. This is important to keep the trust on the platform.

Bluesky has a verification problem
The influx of new users to Bluesky has opened up new opportunities for scammers and impersonators hoping to capitalize on the attention.

After 15 years on @Twitter (aka @X), the time has come to embrace change. My journey to find a new digital home has been about reflection, exploration, and redefining how I connect online. Platforms evolve, but meaningful connections are timeless. Bluesky is my new jam.

Another reason to quit or eXit Twitter: See below. Twitter argues that a user doesn't truly own their account; it is owned by Twitter.

It is like local city government comes to you and says that the house is owned by city because the land is in the city.

Updating this Bocchi the Rock! inspired color palette with normal and deuteranopia versions. I really do like this one since this color set is really expressive and really fun.
