Huh, "Discord's age verification isn't as bad as people say", you might think?
Well: #PeterThiel is pumping money into #Persona, one of companies involved with the verification process: https://www.pcgamer.com/software/platforms/oh-good-discords-age-verification-rollout-has-ties-to-palantir-co-founder-and-panopticon-architect-peter-thiel/

I understand how we got here, and why. Unfortunately this is yet another paver stone along the pathway to the defeat of Open Source by the very thing which owes its existence to it.
A melancholy day.
It's somehow funny that people still believe it's immigrants who are dangerous and not billionaires.
everyonehateselon_: Jim Ratcliffe blames immigrants so you don’t blame tax dodging billionaires like him. Don’t believe the lies.
통신사를 KT로 바꾸니까 IPv6가 들어오는데 이러니까 VPN(v4 전용)을 안 타고 밖으로 새길래 WireGuard 안 쓰고 VPN 앱 쓰니까 DNS 원하는 걸 못 써서 광고가 나오길래 다시 WireGuard 세팅하고 AllowedIPs ::/0 해줬더니 다른 앱이랑 DNS가 라우트 되는 줄 알고 시도하다가 연결을 못하길래 DoT로 바꾸면서 v4로 고정하고 근데 없어져야 할 예전 DoH 설정이 안 지워져서 춤추고 셀룰러면 WARP 쓰고 아니면 쓰던 VPN 쓰게 자동화했는데 이게 플랫폼마다 달라서 맥에서는 자동화는 하다 포기하고
everyonehateselon_: Man United owner Jim Ratcliffe went on a racist rant about immigrants this week. Without immigration his current men’s squad would literally have just three players. Who’s done more for this country, Marcus Rashford, or a tax avoiding billionaire living in Monaco?
이석기 의원은 내란음모 하지도 않았는데 내란음모를 했다는 죄로 실형을 살았고 통합진보당은 그 판결이 나오기도 전에 자유민주적 기본질서를 해한다는 이유로 해산됐는데, 전한길 얘는 내란음모를 당당하게 광고까지 하면서 모금까지 받는다네 그런데 공권력이 이렇게 잠잠해도 되는거임??

I just got done reading this post about protocol conformance https://www.massicotte.org/step-by-step-conforming-to-protocols/ by 
@mattiemMatt Massicotte
I get that it's example code, but I don't understand why one would conform to Equatable via an extension instead of just conforming on the class itself? How come not just `class ImageModel: Equatable`? I see things like this a lot, even in Apple frameworks, so I'm trying to understand it.

I have visited mother and also Rudolf, who for some reason thought we'd be packing him away in his carrier to take him somewhere... And then hid in the kitchen sink in protest. 😆 Not even wet food enticed him out at first!

I got my husband a new backpack for Valentine’s Day (he is notoriously difficult to gift).
Though apparently what I really got was a new cat bed for Murphy for Valentine’s Day. #catsofmastodon #MurphyNCooper #catstodon #cats

Oo! Wondering if your kitty will get to use that traffic cone in the background for a scratching post? We wrapped ours in sisal rope, which little kitty much liked. Then we stuck it atop a larger cone when the little one grew bigger. (And he’s still growing, BTW, so we’re starting to think about another height increase!🙀) #Cat #Cats #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon #MaineCoon #MaineCoonCat #EveryDayIsCaturday #Catstodon

프랑스 루브르박물관 회화관에 누수가 발생해 작품 일부가 손상되는 일이 벌어졌습니다. 루브르 쪽은 조사 결과 1822년 프랑스 화가 샤를 메이니에가 완성한 천장화 ‘프랑스 회화의 승리: 신격화된 푸생, 르 쉬외르, 르 브룅’ 일부가 손상을 입은 것을 발견했습니다. 잇단 악재로 박물관이 수난을 겪는 모양새입니다.
루브르, 이번엔 40분간 누수로 ‘프랑스 회화의 승리’...

I'm more interested in verificationMethods field than services field right now. atproto stands for **Authentication** Transfer protocol. As we are extending it with extra services, we should also be able to easily manage verify methods.
Immediate rough idea: we can even introduce "require 2FA" mode for scoping. Instead of giving full access with auth, appview will need to pass email verification to perform that operation.

I had the chance to rise in Senate QP this week, in the wake of the Grok deep fake scandal, to ask the government, yet again, why it is so committed to X, and so unwilling to try Mastodon or Bluesky. Here’s what I heard. What do you think? https://youtu.be/eVlQBnGqZ_U #cdnpoli #Grok #X #Canada #SenateofCanada #NewBrunswick #Fredericton #Mastodon #deepfakes

Last year, I wrote this article about dating apps privacy ❤️🔒
It has a focus on queer dating apps for Pride, but I think it contains valuable information for anyone using any dating apps.
If you are currently using a dating app,
or thinking of using one, you might find some useful tips and warnings in there: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/06/24/queer-dating-apps-beware-who-you-trust/
Queer Dating Apps: Beware Who You Trust With Your Intimate Data
At the intersection of data privacy and LGBTQ+ experiences, it's inevitable to talk about queer dating apps. Unfortunately, most are horrible for data privacy.

Good news! By 2028, Toyota expects to make electric cars with a 1000 kilometer (600 mile) range with batteries that can be charged in just 10 minutes!
They're using 'solid-state batteries'. Currently a lot of car batteries use an organic solvent with a dissolved lithium salt. The new solid-state batteries replace that flammable liquid with a glassy material containing compounds of lithium, sulfur and phosphorus. They charge faster, they have 10 times the energy density, and they don't catch on fire. But they are tricky in various ways.
Toyota wants to win the race, and they've teamed up with a Japanese oil company that will manufacture the battery material. But Mercedes-Benz and other companies are also in the race. The activity in China is particularly intense, as you'd expect.

In the trial of five Stanford students for felony vandalism in connection to pro-Palestine protests, the judge last night declared a mistrial. The jury could not reach a verdict.
