I just submitted our talk proposal for @roost.tools to FOSDEM! If it's accepted, you should come to hear about how we’re bringing the open source model to trust and safety, starting with the open source Osprey project that’s already being used in production across multiple large, well-known […]

Since joining @roost.tools, I've had some fun conversations about, "How does this #opensource thing work?"

There's so much #trustandsafety has to gain from having open source infrastructure as its core. Happy to answer all the questions about how this works (while I peel Thanksgiving vegetables..)!

some might know how @roost.tools is approaching open safety tool development, but many more may not! @annebdh.bsky.social lays it all out here, including our governance structure, how people can get involved, and how working in the open doesn't mean more abuse!

StopNCII does have a feedback API for platform partners to use. In StopNCII's case, the hashes added are computed on the client, they don't receive the media files that reporter submits, they also don't track who the reporter is (providing email is optional & not stored, other PII isn't collected)

Open source PDQ -> you can now host PDQ sharing on ThreatExchange to combat harm. Folks having trouble with the infrastructure to match images with the algorithm? Open source a more complete package that does all the stages, including sharing (HMA).

Ok I'm going to make a sweet corn custard pie with corn kernels in it for Thanksgiving.

I'm thinking similar to pay de elote but with more corn kernels in it

this is The Big Truth
I really think that legal data ownership and indemnification (?) are the big problems, not running code. The reason Meta has succeeded at releasing open T&S tooling, imo, is that that’s what they are actually offering to partnering businesses.

Is there a sweet corn pie

I'm asking as a Chinese girl who loves corn flavored sweets

holiday season starting means reading some new fiction during flights and waiting for parents at the airpot.

I'm really enjoying "Local Heavens" by @kmfajardo.bsky.social !

ICE activity has increased in Sunset Park, Bushwick, and Corona (non-exhaustive list) and it seems to be because people aren’t attending their court dates — either due to not receiving notice or intentionally skipping because they know people are getting disappeared at 26 Federal Plaza.

NYC had a wind storm this week and my internet was SUFFERING lmao
every time I see people whining about the internet and single points of failure and “remember when” I laugh and LAUGH. folks. did you know that at one point sufficient rain in northern Virginia could take half the internet down? the infrastructure is way more robust and resilient than it used to be.
