Apps that get DNS verification functionality wrong really cause a lot of pain for their users.

Having explained the problem a number of times, I finally decided to write it down so now I can just share a link.
Stop Telling Users Their DNS Is Wrong
If you’re like me, you’ve had the experience where you add a DNS record for a service. You triple check it. The app still says it’s invalid. You wait. You check again. Still invalid. You start wonderi...

@skeetsapp.com and @flashes.blue already display pronouns labels and let users edit them.

i didn't know that the `app.bsky.actor.profile` schema has pronouns built in! perhaps this should be accessible in app, cause i would love this instead of needing a labeler for it
Witchsky issue #48 ooo tangled.org/jollywhopper... (I hope to add pronouns, websites, join dates, AND PDS hosts! all good things to know about users. and that'll knock out the need for 3 cosmetic labelers! 🥳)

"Uns wurde gesagt, dass MAGA für die amerikanische Arbeiterklasse sei. Aber dies ist eine Regierung von, für und durch die Überreichen. Es ist das reichste Kabinett aller Zeiten. Das ist die Epstein-Klasse. Sie sind die Eliten, die sie vorgeben zu hassen", sagt @ossoff.bsky.social.

Kolumne: Die Milliardärsideologie basiert auf grotesk missverstandener Wissenschaft. Gesellschaften, die die Idee akzeptieren, dass grenzenlose Gier gut&universell ist, gehen von einer grotesk verzerrten Wahrnehmung der menschlichen Natur aus. Das geht irgendwann schief. Adam Smith rotiert im Grab.

One of the most impressive things about this ecosystem is that it allows for people to innovate and create tools we all want before even Bluesky creates them.

And many more!

It’s really beautiful to see

Operation Metro Surge pulled back the curtain on a sprawling DHS surveillance apparatus. Justin Hendrix spoke to Irna Landrum from Kairos Fellowship and Alejandra Montoya-Boyer from the Center for Civil Rights and Technology at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights on calls for reform.

Yeah if you want to make an atproto app that has other off-protocol features that’s fine

If you want to have private posts exclusive to your app like Blacksy did that’s cool

You don’t need to slippery slope everything

new from me: The DSA Needs Big Tech

A panel with MEP Geese and Mastodon ED Hlatky about the DSA and the fediverse showed a deep tension: the DSA's power depends on Big Tech platforms existing, and the fediverse is a network specifically designed they won't

FR#152 – The DSA Needs Big Tech
On the tension in the DSA, that needs Big Tech platforms to exist so it can regulate them, while the fediverse does away with large platforms altogether.

"What you did was racist."

"Well ... you're fat."

Kind of proves the level of people we're dealing with.

Every damn day he does something crazy and the entire MAGA leadership bends over backwards to pretend it wasn't crazy and to explain it away.

And then a few hours go by and he comes out and says "no, I did the crazy thing on purpose."

And repeat.

And the media never seems to remember that.
BREAKING: Trump says he 'didn't make a mistake' with his racist video post.

Q:  "A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do?"

Trump: "No, I didn't make a mistake."

He adds later: "I guess it was a take off on the Lion King."

Zumindest Peter Thiel ist da ganz ehrlich. Bereits 2014 schrieb er in Ruperts Murdochs @wsj.com: "Competition is for Losers". Leute wie er glauben nicht an die freie Marktwirtschaft, sie finden Monopole viel toller.

Na, wer hätt’s gedacht, nach 75 Mio für „Melania“ & Abfackeln Washington Post?

Kleptokratie, dazu widerlicher Rassismus & rechtsfrei agierende ICE-Agenten, die nun Wahlen kontrollieren sollen - und Miosga diskutiert mit AfD, ob das „ein Vorbild für Deutschland“ sei. Ohne Faschismusexpert/in.

WHY?
