Serious question - How will the Bsky team defend against or respond to a Trump/Musk offensive against bsky itself? Bsky is turning into a top competitor of both of their platforms and is certain to harbor posts both of them would not like. Where are the servers/infra hosted? The team members?

I put together a little post about my writing mannerisms.

I'd once again like to blame @shellsharks.com for his provocation. He can't keep getting away with this! I should block his domain...

Just redesigned my website's landing page as it was starting to feel a tad stale. I blame @shellsharks.com for prompting this with their recent redesign.

#Tapestry is the best Bluesky client just because it keeps track of where I last read in the timeline. Makes this platform kinda usable for me now at least to keep up with some of y'all

"It wouldn’t be hard for a billionaire or a hostile government to take down one, two, three or maybe even 10 Bluesky relays. But it seems wholly impractical for a billionaire, or a team of billionaires to snuff out thousands of Fediverse instances."

something i hope more people do on bsky is follow @ap.brid.gy . especially large/notable accounts . it bridges your account to Mastodon meaning people using Mastodon instances can see your posts and interact with you

Positive Technologies has developed a new attack that exploits the SD Express standard to gain access to a device's memory through its SD card reader

The DaMAgeCard attack exploits the fact that the new SD Express standard can operate in both SDIO and NVMe

What's best? Bsky, Mastodon (Fediverse) or Threads?

Trick question! Just having a personal blog/website is best. 😄

and like that, the #Fediverse has Starter Packs. Competition is good! The bsky team has some good ideas and with any luck, the popularity of good features here will continue to propel other complimentary networks forward.

Man, Bluesky would actually be kinda usable for me if it would just remember my timeline position and let me scroll through everything I've missed.

Letting me post more than 300 chars would also be nice but at least it has the ability to create an entire thread of posts and publish simultaneously

How does Bluesky's (domain-based) "verification" help the countless high-profile (and low-profile tbh) people who don't have domains/ well-known sites? How can Brad Pitt verify himself here?

This *is* an elegant way to "verify" someone, but only if they *have* a website and really only if that website is kinda *known* as being officially associated with that individual. How would this for...

I have complex feelings about Bluesky, but I do feel like it's got the attention of the public in a way that mastodon didn't and is where many of my twitter friends will migrate to.

Thankfully @shellsharks.com wrote a fantastic article about this: shellsharks.com/notes/2024/1...

I know it's not *cool* to talk about Mastodon here, and I'm not even here to tell you it's "better". What's better for anyone is completely subjective. I just wanted to say that it's pretty cool that I run my own, completely isolated, yet federated and connected instance for less than $20/mo.

Bluesky's got that Threads in 2023 energy. Now, less than 2 years later, you see how it's goin over there... still chuggin' but honeymoon period def over. Enjoy while it lasts!

It's a work in progress, but here's the "FediSec" starter pack featuring infosec/cyber folks from the Fediverse who are bridged here via Bridgy Fed.

Note: Included in the pack is @ap.brid.gy which when followed will bridge your Bluesky account back to the Fediverse. Woo!
