I know a lot of folks here have their qualms about Bluesky, but I hope folks are paying attention to what Rudy Fraser and Blacksky Algorithms are doing to decentralize their community from Bluesky PBC infra.
Decentralization at every level of the stack is happening on ATProto. It started *within* the Bluesky infra, slowly drifting away one step at a time, and it's inspiring to watch it all happen.

A slightly unhinged calculator fact: in the golden era of electronic calculators, some Japanese shopkeepers were reluctant to trust the newfangled tool, so Sharp made a line of combination calculator / abacus devices.
Here's a photo, next to some other stuff I own.
Mastodon FeedAs of yesterday, yt-dlp with cookies can only download SD videos but the instructions for extracting PO tokens from Youtube Music don't work for me: it's not in the JSON body. Anyone get this working?
(If I don't use cookies at all, I always get "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot.")

Should I do a run of the stickers? And should it say “AI Training Data” or just “Training Data”? Vote either way I guess. Dunno how to do the options right here really

I really wish you all weren't so cocksure about letting shit like HTTP/1.1 die.
Gonna miss the last vestige of the web that doesn't require wireshark to fuckin' parse it.
I kinda hate that HTTP/2 is straight binary and requires wireshark to make any sense of it, and that http/3 is basically just quic, which is google's love child of weird shit.

Don't ask ChatGPT for health advice. Seriously. @404mediaco reports on a man who gave himself bromism, a disorder that can cause psychosis and hallucinations as well as gastrointestinal and dermatological effects, because he had replaced salt with sodium bromide based on information gathered from the AI.

Give this brave young woman a medal for confronting a Zionist wearing an IDF t-shirt at their university while Israel and the IDF commit genocide in Palestine.

So much of #freelancing requires that you maneuver through your clients' office politics gracefully. This is the part of the #freelancer life that no one tells you; that sometimes, the best move is to eat shit and move on.
As a freelancer, you eat a lot of shit.

"The bottom line is clear. Trump long since missed his chance to shrug the Epstein matter off as a nothing burger. It now walks, talks and quacks like a duck, in this case of the truth. A cover-up of this scale implies a crime of equal measure. And that means many in the public won’t be satisfied until something really bad finally comes out…."

Either “the West” stops this bullshit right fucking now or they live with the blood of 2 million Palestinians on their hands. And more so with zero moral standing on any issue ever again. “European values?” You can’t even stop a genocide. Don’t make me fucking laugh.
