Have always been SNP 1, Sc Greens 2 when voting but that might switch around next time. Hoping @ross-greer.bsky.social and @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social take a leaf out of Zack's book and get out talking to people across Scotland to expose Reform. Should be a full-time job doing this imo, priority #1.

Have spam emails calmed down for everyone? I used to get dozens every day, but now only get about one per week. Makes it easy to keep even the spam inbox at zero, while keeping an eye out for false positives (or false negatives?)

At this juncture I’d like to point out:
* we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing
* there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world
* a united approach could stop the climate crisis
But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

Just got a cracker of a phishing attempt, bypassing the gmail spam filters. How is TLS working here? Could be wrong, but I'd have thought the autodesk[dot]com DNS or email server would need to be compromised to achieve this?

This was a hard one. But we, as developers for Apple platforms and as humans, have a responsibility to respond.

I’m really not sure how to start this one. Normally, I write about technical topics. But, that’s not what this is. This is different. So I’m just going to say it.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.
It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

This is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong.

Do not ever EVER forget that live Twitter stream where he tried to claim the stack needed a complete rewrite and an ex-Twitter eng asked for details, which he could not provide and tried to dance around the question he could not answer. That was pure internet gold.

Obsessed with Gridfinity. Its taking time, but I'm slowly organising my junk drawers. This morning specifically, the big box of random, tangled usb cables (you have one too).
Just noticed the print quality on this one isn't great, wonder if matte PLAs need different settings? #3dprinting

Looks like the Bluesky web dev scene is slowly but surely catching up with Twitter. Great to see @threepointone.bsky.social @danabra.mov @deadparrot.bsky.social posting on here. Are there any more devs making the jump that I can follow?

My Dell XPS 15 is becoming a real pain and I'm tempted to move to a Macbook. Any Windows 10 -> OSX converts able to vouch that it's better? Scared it'll be just as shitty but also more expensive.
