One thing that stuck to me was learning how Ho Chi Minh was one of the first to write about the mistreatment of Black people and how he wrote so many, it was (from what I read), part of the reason US backed out of helping him liberate Vietnam from French colonial rule in the 1900s.

What I've always loved about #AdventOfCode is that you just need to get the right answer.
There are no hidden test cases or time and space complexities to worry about.
It's very freeing and allows you to experiment and be creative with how you get to the solution.

This was my tenth(!) year building 25 days of puzzles for #AdventOfCode. You can solve them all for free! Most people write code to solve them, but you can solve them however you like. I hope they help people become better programmers. 🌟
The first puzzle comes out in two hours: adventofcode.com

"the platform has no method of verifying handles to show that someone running a given account is actually who they purport to be"
This is so stupid. If you want to show that you belong to some organization you can literally use the domain name of that organization AS YOUR HANDLE.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. what you're referring to as Bluesky, is in fact ATProto/Bluesky, or as I've recently taken to calling it, ATProto plus Bluesky

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

نجّينا م الشرّير
ارحمنا م التجربة.
المعركة _المرّادي_
مش هيّنة..
المعركة غايمة..
غربال ورا غربال
وف صفنّا الجنرال..
المعركة مرعبة.
ووقفنا زيّ الجثث..
باصين على المدبحة.
الدم على صدرنا..
بننتصر؟ ولّا..
فـ طابور الدبح؟
هل دا سؤال العار
ولا السكوت أقبح؟
ننزل نلمّ الغنايم..
ولا نعدّ الجثث؟

if atproto gets really big, i wonder what meta’s existential take on it will be. like would they go out of their way to try to make it not happen, or would they embrace it at some point and build stuff around
