Definitely tuning into this one!
Saeed Jones@theferocity.bsky.social · 2h agoToday on #VibeCheckPod, @timnitgebru.blacksky.app explains what’s really going on with these so-called AI whistleblowers. Also, I let the chopper spray on Robert Kraft, Ed Sheeran, Pink, Jasmine Crockett and Chris Brown. Also, I read a lovely poem by Hieu Minh Nguyen.
This is Slow Horses S3!!!
The Verge@theverge.com · 3h agoUsers, mostly men in their 30s, go on dating apps and match with what they believe to be real women. Only one in four of them actually is, and that person is not a user looking for other dates but rather a paid gig worker using pregenerated replies. Read more from @yaelwrites.com: buff.ly/sYMIJJy
Will try to make it to this! Who else am I seeing there?

TIL that www.jj-vcs.dev/latest/ is another G-Mail (side-project turned FTE project) production. Amazing what you can do when given a salary!
@jakehamby.bsky.social you're the expert of embedded/mobile hardware to me! If someone wanted to remake a flipphone today; what's stopping them?
Jacky Alciné@jacky.wtf · 8h agoThe hardware for this is still here; I still don't understand fully why no one has tried a bespoke nostalgia line (outside of IP being problematic and software support for things like banking)
Black people aren't monolithic nor should one's impression of where they reside on the Internet. Here, I make the case that focusing on numbers is a failure to put quality over quantity and ignores benefits for more curated online Black communities.
'There's More Black People Over There': False Equivalences in Platform Distribution and Gimmicks of Platform Capitalism
Of course there's more Black people on a platform that holds a billion people and has been around for twenty years. Expecting the same experience across different platforms with different profit (and sustainable) incentives is naive, disrespectful and dangerous.

If I took this at face value, then I should stop bothering to look for work as a software developer tbh.
Laurie Voss@seldo.com · 3d agoFor the last 2 years I have been tracking a generational change in the nature of software development, and I think I've finally decided where all of this turmoil is going to end up. It's good news, but not for everybody. https://seldo.com/posts/we-are-all-product-engineers-now/
I very strongly believe that regardless of what you do for a living, storytelling and community are integral components to everything. You can and should spend the rest of your life learning about both.
@taurean.bryant.land I keep refreshing and keep getting new features and UX changes to unfollow.garden lol

Anyone of yall work at Sage, the financial software company? DM please to help a sister out! I am also in fintech and I am curious about some things at your company. I’m offering a coffee for your time. RT if you think someone in your network may fit description. Thanks! 🙏🏾

You wanna really know how to fight the system? Read. I’m not playing. If you are not that good at it, practice. It’s a muscle. You will get it. You can learn privately. There is no shame in not knowing, that’s an opportunity to learn. And if you can read, read more long form stuff. Do it.
NGL I barely noticed any bumps and I be on here a lot, lol
Rude1 Haunted Badness. ⁂@rude1.blacksky.team · 2d agoBlacksky was one of the 1st PDSs to allow open sign ups We are also now the largest PDS deployment that doesn't run any of bsky's code Sorry for the turbulence. It was the one-time price to pay for being able to build features like private accounts or sign-in via phone number w/o waiting on Bluesky
How legit is this complaint about the code used for age verification?
jonny (nonvenomous) (@jonny@neuromatch.social)
I went to look at how bsky wrote age verification, and holy lord, people don't just say that LLMs produce mountains of flaming hot dogshit for their health.

I have been writing this post about the economics of open source, on and off, for 13 years. I wasn't expecting to end up at "Microsoft should send corporations a huge bill" but nothing else we've tried has worked. https://seldo.com/posts/nobody-pays-for-open-source-we-can-force-them-to/
Nobody pays for open source. We can force them to. | Seldo.com
Thirty years of voluntary funding schemes haven't paid open source maintainers because asking doesn't scale. The real money already flows — to JFrog, Docker, Sonatype — at the registry layer. The fix: registries charge companies for supply (they already do), then route a slice automatically to the maintainers who make that supply worth having.

Excellent product discovery thread (short!) for gaming
Ibejih Must Shine@ibejih.skycave.space · 2d agoBeen working on something for Skycave that started with a simple question: "What happens when someone wants to play but they aren't already on Bluesky or Blacksky no play as a guest?" That question sent me deeeeeep into AT Protocol. atproto.com
I appreciate everyone referring to me to places. Whenever they don't work out, I pass it along to other folks I know who are looking. We all we got!
If you're moderately technical (aka if you have the inklings of understanding of a programming language and/or know of TCP/IP); this course from @blackskyweb.xyz might be for you if you want to understand how this stuff works (like how does Blacksky/Bluesky work) learn.blacksky.community
