#Perms
Why do you suggest staying away from perms? Im incapable of leaving my hair alone so the idea is that ill use less heat on my hair with it permed

I will suggest staying away from perms. You can get your natural curls back with some patience and products. And personally I’m a believer that anyone can pull anything off if you genuinely like it, and have confidence in the style.

No helmets, no phones, just bad perms, rented skates, and a cassette tape mix of bangers. Was there any more perfect bliss than a skating rink in the 80s?

maaaaaaaaaaan the jamaican era was one for the ages. we still had perms then so the commitment to sweating out edges was real.
I would like to assert that music hit it's peak with Reggae Gold 2004.

In this dissertation I will...

my badass trans dudefriend hair sciencewizard said he has hella middleschool and highschool white boys coming in asking for perms so they can have the broccoli hair. i am not joking. he was not joking. we both laughed because it is funny but not because it was a joke. they're perming it up over here

Ive been curling my hair with a straightener (im incapable of figuring out a curling iron) for about a year now and i prefer the curls to straight hair now. Perms are expensive though and ive only found 2 hairstylists that offer them (both 40-60mins from my house which is expected in Houston) 4/

which is why imo it's not really a responsible choice for apps with a broad audience rn - and a good example of a category error by the technical "OAuth is better" ppl

like 'it takes too many perms' -> 'that's because transition' is the wrong way to talk about it, doesn't matter why, etc. etc.

here's the perms it asks for and an example of ad hijacking. if they're using the data to serve their own ads, that data is absolutely compromised

You do not need full permissions to my account for this, I don't want you to have perms to post, and this is a new change taking away old features while your site has grown visibly more insecure with pop-ups.

Yes! Their cake counter was chocka with new things.

I wanted to take a picture but there was a queue of impatient perms and combovers behind me.

Watching people give themselves perms at home and reliving the horrors of high school perms! Oh, the smell!
November 17, 2025 at 2:19 AM
ooh! very noice! cant wait to see if my submission gets through! (also for the folks who do get theirs done, do they have perms to use their pic as a PFP?)

I don’t know what you heard about me
But a bitch can’t get a dollar out of me
No Cadillac, no perms, you can’t see
That I’m a motherfuckin’ P-I-M-P
The Grey Cup is on, so it's time, once again, to remember that Pierre Trudeau rolled up to Grey Cup in 1970 looking like this.

I was just looking at the quotes and snickering at all those angry "never again!" and "you'll lose 90% of users!" like oh no. whatever shall they do.

the people upset about oauth permissions are more legit, except bsky doesn't offer granulated perms yet, and who knows when they will.
November 16, 2025 at 11:10 PM
Also, certainly looks like quite a few attacks have been launched at you guys over this. I'd actually almost call several posts I've seen quite toxic which was a thing I only expected on twitter. :| Come on guys, if BSky doesn't offer less restrictive perms, what are they to do? Give'em time. (2/2)
November 16, 2025 at 10:52 PM
Yikes. I literally just recommended this to people before I found out it wants total unrestricted permissions. Now I have to go un-recommend this to people. I hope you guys get this fixed soon to use view only permission systems. You don't need these perms to show me my content. (1/2)
November 16, 2025 at 10:52 PM
AHHHH HES SO CUTE!!
if i ever need a pfp can i have perms to use this? (I’ll credit u)
November 16, 2025 at 10:12 PM
it's not overreach if they're simply not using those perms. looks scary more than anything.

Oh, as a white woman, I wish you wouldn't. I think the hair of black women is gorgeous. If you only knew how much money I spent on spiral perms back in the day, just to have some curl. One of the best episodes of Blackish talks about this topic. It was empowering for me as a woman, period.

Regardless of how u feel about clearsky - this is lowkey fear mongering cause this is actually an improvement from the App Password in terms of permissions granted. It's good that ppl see what perms they're signing off now but it /was/ worse lmao
Clearsky has updated to require authentication when viewing who blocks a user, and the permission scope it's asking for via bsky's oauth is...absolutely wild.

Way, way, way too many permission grants there, folks.
November 16, 2025 at 8:08 AM
I'm gonna say that one good point is the perms issues
app passwords are a lot easier to delete if you need to revoke access

but I find oauth way more intuitive and easy to use in general, aside from this one issue
November 16, 2025 at 2:01 AM
Clearsky responds. Seems from others that this is just them using the "transition" scope in oauth, which is akin to an app password and has very broad permissions. More granular scopes exist, but are not documented well and not production-ready. Either way, a lot more perms than I want to give them.
We've gotten a lot of questions about the new log in feature. We are committed to your privacy and will never access data we don't need.

like there's nothing stopping anyone from making an equivalent service without a required login, right? so they're just locking it behind a login for no reason at best and for harvesting info and account perms at worst? and this is somehow supposed to be a net good?
November 16, 2025 at 1:16 AM
seeing everyone celebrate the clearsky thing im a little bit confused. i understand that its a good thing theres no longer a service ppl can use to obsessively check who's blocking them or whatever without giving up way too much perms. but as far as i know nothing has actually changed in atproto?
