Love and laughter being more powerful than fear and apathy

"At the top of this bill, we will talk about kids… but when you actually open the hood, it’s being used as a smokescreen for everything that Big Tech lobbyists want.”

@ocasio-cortez.house.gov calls out Republicans’ partisan bill that lets Big Tech off the hook for kids’ online safety.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

She might have been terrible at traitors, but she won the gays and a birkin

lol I feel like meme phrases are just the precursors to idioms
Yet, people try to use them as a complete thought. Sitting through the gibberish is so painful at times

lol I thought it was “twunks” for a full beat

A meme of a woman being picked up by arms from a tv mounted on a wall. The meme text says “my body is not a temple, it is a vessel to absorb unnecessary amounts of media”.

The overacting adds to the authenticity hahaha

Agreed! However, I hate when engineers use this argument for not doing the basics like input validation or simple injection protection

In my experience, the vast majority of waste in a software shop is time spent building things nobody wants on top of overly complex architectures that solve problems we don't have. Focus on that. Put solving your customer's actual (not imagined) problems first.

let’s go to work i guess

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), you stood by your community when it came to #ICE detention centers in PA. We hope you’ll take a stand against government overreach and surveillance by returning Palantir-linked campaign contributions because #Palantir powers ICE. 🫡

There is NO VALID REASON why you should have to provide your LEGAL ID to access the internet or social media! Period! GET ON THE PHONE AND TELL YOUR REPS YOU DO NOT WANT KOSA, KOSMA, OR ANY OF THE 19 BILL SURVEILLANCE PACKAGE they've lied and called "child protection" !!!!!!!!!

We are regressing faster and faster…

Also you can build the algorithm yourself if you want @fancypenguin.party just like @spacecowboy17.bsky.social

It’s a build the world you want to see kind of scenario

@fancypenguin.party I agree algorithms make this more engaging. However, it’s an amazing technical success to have an open network that supports independent algorithms.

Short-term it isn’t easiest path, but atproto is about building the social network[s] for next decade and beyond.

oh, we’re gonna get at LEAST 2 new logos and app names; incinerate $50mm; and return to calling it HBO.

An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification It's basic, and by the looks of it, near unenforceable.

These people are dumber than potatoes. I haven't seen much on why all this age verification bullshit just came out of nowhere at the same time? Like all of a sudden the whole planet wants to track real user activity? Why all of a sudden?

Doing this while we wait for private records on atproto. Optional Passkey PRF encryption for individual record properties.

Context: I needed some way to hide potentially sensitive authentication details (eg. s3 secret).

Only thing I don't like about this is that it's now tied to a specific domain.
