Hearing the firefighting helicopter fly over head is both awful and great. It reminds you of what can happen on days like today, but also reassures you that there are people looking out for all of us.

Seems @slack.engineering added a new feature, where you can choose to hide inactive Starred people.
Which I'm sure is useful, but it got turned on by default without notice, so I was left wondering why Slack had forgotten my starred people.

@support.bsky.team any chance you might be able to explain which laws are requiring this?
I can't seem to find any that would require this change recently.

I've seen people reference the claim that RFK Jr. believes the 1918 influenza came from lab research, but since no one provided a link, I was skeptical that even he could be that stupid. Boy, was I wrong.

Lessons from @atlassian.bsky.social in how to piss off your users:
Load a help / forum page's contents, but if there's any sniff the user has an account, block the page and force them to log in.
Don't do this to anonymous users, however.
Because why would you want to help your paying customers?

In case you wondered if anything in USA ever changes, the movie "Wag The Dog" was released in 1997.
It's about a president starting a fake war to draw attention away from the fact he had sex with underage girls.
It was released twenty-eight years ago.

An AI generated the “Edward Crabtree” lie. An AI absorbed it. An AI spread it. The Bondi attack reveals the risk of AI chatbots eating their own tails, @cameronwilson.bsky.social reports.
Bondi lie peddled by Elon Musk's AI chatbot shows the future of our AI-poisoned information ecosystem
In the hours after the Bondi Beach mass shooting, AI misinformation began to eat its own tail, with Musk's X bot absorbed and regurgitated in record time.

So @bsky.app have decided I'm no longer allowed to use Chat until I allow some 3rd party to leak my identity.

Just a reminder that if you’re an APS worker, all of your agreements allow you to take paid leave to donate blood - now would be a good time if you are able to :)

weird how every news outlet and right wing mouthpiece had a bunch of anti-immigration screeds ready to run the instant something happened. Almost like regardless of what happened they were going to run anti-migration screeds.

It's a good idea to turn off autoplay video on Settings => Content and Media => Autoplay video and gifs.
This has to be turned off on each device annoyingly and I just realized it was still on on this computer.
