im not sure who fasterthanlime is but im certain that ban reason isn’t true lol. so gross for the admin to say that
Mastodon standard English needs to be studied

“by people such as fasterthanlime who love LLMs more than they love BIPOC fems in this community.”

oh, this is why
Cybercriminals stole the sensitive information of 17.5 million Instagram accounts, including usernames, physical addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and more.

This data is available for sale on the dark web and can be abused by cybercriminals.

decided to try opencode + minimax this morning for a personal thing and it's not too bad. still prefer to use these kinds of tools for smaller tasks rather than doing everything but might pop it open from time to time to get me over some humps

Hey friends, did you know you could hire me to consult on AT Protocol projects?

Whether that's advising on OAuth, or doing complete implementations, I can probably help you project. I primarily work in JavaScript/TypeScript.

You can contact me via support.thisismissem.social

I know Emelia has also been doing independent code reviews of other atproto apps and reaching out privately. I can't thank her enough for reaching out, helping me and the rest of the communities. She has several support links as well to show appreciation for her hard work.
So a not too well known thing about me: I'm the co-author of the Client ID Metadata Documents internet draft that Bluesky / AT Proto uses for OAuth.

This document came about due to my work on Mastodon's OAuth implementation.
