The #mastodon app in fdroid is buggy in #grapheneos for me. It let's me scroll several posts but then repeats the same posts. Very odd. Only solution is to quit the app and start over.

What is everyone's favorite app to use for Mastodon in GrapheneOS?

I have some complicated thoughts on Nilay Patel's interview with the CEO of Hasbro.

The simplest of those is that I'm glad that, despite Patel having previously used his podcast to make transphobic jokes, he used the opportunity to ask why Hasbro was OK financing Rowling's transphobia.

"Separate the art from the artist" is a terrible fucking answer, though, and I wish Nilay had pressed on that.

Emelia has already done so much great standards and auth work behind the scenes, which benefits not just atproto/atmosphere, but also ActivityPub, Solid, and other social web ecosystems. really excited about the potential for FedCM to make login flows slick and competitive with Google/Apple/Meta

Step 1: Get a job as chief of saving money for the Federal government (DOGE).

Step 2: Instead of pushing to simplify the tax code, automate tax collection or simply hire more IRS workers to catch billionaire tax dodgers, you fire a bunch.

Step 3: Retweet posts about how your racist AI (aka MechHitler) can do people’s taxes.

I am exceedingly in need of a product icon designer. I am willing to pay around a thousand euros for some work here. Please, pass this to someone who 1) cares, 2) is good, and 3) can tolerate me :D

Good luck to Toni Schneider, new CEO at Bluesky.

FireRed and LeafGreen are not just the standard roms from 2004, they actually got the build system working and compiled a new build (with still unknown changes) more than 20 years later! Very interested in what changes they made.

Real-Time ISS Tracker Shows Off the Goods

Jay Graber just stepped down as CEO of Bluesky PBC and appointed Toni Schineider as "interim" CEO. He is a Silicon Valley old timer, listing on his resume as being Automattic's founding CEO and has been partner at a VC firm since 2005 that lists Ring (the surveillance company you pay to let them spy on your neighborhood with) and a few AI companies as highlights.

#Bluesky is lucky to have Toni as an interim CEO. He was the first CEO I ever actually enjoyed working under. He focussed on how the product is only as good as the employees are allowed to be.

If you use LLMs, this isn't a surprise.

> A prevailing concern is that generative AI encourages people to outsource their thinking to machines, which weakens understanding — known as "cognitive offloading." Through class, I realized this worry holds weight only if AI is treated like an omniscient oracle. When students are encouraged to experiment with and critique large language models (LLMs), AI becomes an on-demand study partner with benefits and drawbacks.

Hiya! Anyone in the SF Bay Area/Remote need a cool programmer for your team? I've been messing with computers for over 30 years now, I can program anything with bits, and I've got a lot of experience with all sorts of different systems, environments, and languages.

Nice! NAT64 in action, My IPv6-only jail can successfully talk with Github. No tayga, just the new "af-to" feature, that the "pf" firewall got in 15.0-RELEASE:

pass in quick on bastille0 inet6 from $jail_net to 64:ff9b::/96 \
af-to inet from ($ext_if) keep state

This is genuinly nice! 🙂

for dumb local mode i think i'd maybe want choice between "resync everything from scratch" and "continue with missed"

Really enjoying this album that I found recently. It is electronic music with a retro vibe and some of the talking clips sound like they are from Computer Chronicles. Very tastefully inserted in some songs.
