I was precisely going on about that a few days ago.

Prismo Attachment for AeroPress® Eliminate the need for paper filters with the Prismo AeroPress® Attachment, and get a reusable 150-micron etched filter. Shop now!

If you have a regular Aeropress, I recommend the Fellows Prismo - I found it sensational for maintaining all the flavor from the oils that ends up stuck in the filter (plus the valve means you're not in a rush to seal the top or invert).

I didn't think to resubmit my "Freedom Footguns" proposal for @monkigras.com after Papercall collapsed, and Claude standing up to the US DoD made it seem less urgent, but... goddammit people, we need to stop enabling this kind of bullshit.

Soon @greatdismal.bsky.social is going to have a harder time topping our convoluted reality than @theonion.com

“The chair isn’t even European” is some seriously galaxy brained analysis of why Eurosky exists in the first place.

Betcha it was legal running amok. New ToS also force you into arbitration, so it's likely that lawyers went "well, OBVIOUSLY you need to be an adult to agree to arbitration, so..."

In that the ToS state that you're not eligible to use it unless you're 18+.

Pin the mutuals feed, change your reply settings, whatever you need to do.

But be the poster you want to see in the world.

Stop being boring.

Discord's Fall Would Suck For TTRPGs Were Discord to fall apart, there's no clear replacement for it in the tabletop RPG community--and its loss could be devastating.

Ah, but how else are you going to send a ham-fisted message to other companies that they should just acquiesce?

Why Nations Fail's central warning was that when extractive regimes can arbitrarily rug-pull companies, investment uncertainty follows and long-term capital dries up.

Honestly never thought I'd see it, in real time, in the world's largest economy.

I've also been making the exact same point as @dholms.at. I think that only ecosystems can be bigger than big, and that's the card we need to play.

(It's what DASL is also aiming for with small composable specs.) bsky.app/profile/dhol...

Politics is the defining aspect of networked technology. AT corresponds best to the kind of institutional structure that is key to large scale democracy. AP is a better match for smaller, village-style governance, which is very valid but not the problem I care about.

I’m building on ATProto because it’s a unique, different primordial soup, and I want to be there and involved when new life forms start emerging out of this multi-app data substrate.

How about “try it, see if it works, maybe you’ll find a new favorite or backup drink”?

Straight-up PDS branding would help, but only if Bluesky starts using Oauth themselves.

Right now third-party apps have to introduce the concepts of OAuth and PDSes cold, and shoulder the cognitive and user-training burden.

the end result of this will be the development of some ridiculously sharded MoE thing autonomously sending messages and weights through some distant evolution of bittorrent and encrypted communications which doesn't exactly scream "it's controlled now"

the vibe shift is real. bsky is going to be where a lot of key innovation in future publishing models and tools happens. i am very much here for it.

Astonishing how dumb this looks. Halborn's post-mortem says 'compromised devices' but doesn't clarify the setup - I wonder if there was a majority of hot wallets, because I don't immediately see how this works with cold wallets without also compromising the multisig UI (à la ByBit hack last year).
