"Try building something with Deno," I said.

How bizarre, I wonder why it's doing that. Are you on a non-Bsky PDS?

Try now, should be working again. Please lmk if not.

On a Saturday night I stumbled across something on the internet that made me feel like ****** my pants. A giant dataset of real surveillance operations targeting 1000s of people across nearly every country. Unraveling it and the mysterious company behind it has consumed 1.5 years of my life

Tbh I'm not sure orgs should run anything labelling other orgs, the potential for conflict of interest is too great. You'd really want a NGO that looks at fairness and accuracy to do that, maybe someone like Media Matters.

Why use a tool that works flawlessly every time and runs automatically whenever you hit save when you can use a tool that works some of the time and requires a subscription? 😮‍💨

I'm already starting to see that with data transformation, which is the absolute last place you want subtle errors.

You're living through one of the biggest technological transformations in world history and it has nothing to do with AI

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

Stop Funding Hate @stopfundinghate.bsky.social · 1d

GB News has lost over £100 million thanks in part to SFH supporters – now, let’s do the same with X.

How to #StopFundingHate:
1️⃣ See who’s advertising on X via SFH’s social media.
2️⃣ Contact the brand with a polite message and screenshot, urging them to pull their ads from X.
3️⃣ Keep us all updated!

Yeah, I get this too. I've gotten into the habit of intentionally restarting the app every couple of hours when I go to check it

There's an open PR by @thisismissem.social for email 2fa, am hoping it gets some attention soon 🤞🏼

github.com/bluesky-soci...

Add email based otp to @atproto/pds by ThisIsMissEm · Pull Request #4221 · bluesky-social/atproto

This pull request adds support for email-based OTP on sign-in for @atproto/pds, additionally, on sign-up, it sends the confirm email email. The email in the 2FA error is obfuscated. We may need so...

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 7d

I've been radio silent because I'm in the process of standing up an app.bsky.* API server (aka app-view aka Barnes & Nobles). This is an expensive and time intensive operation that I didn't want to do until it was necessary.
It's a fail-safe not a differentiator in experience, but important 7/11
