And this is a problem because the Bluesky moderators are *having a time*. This leads us to impetus #2 for Bluesky decentralization: A huge faction on Bluesky is leftist shitposters and trans folks who fled Twitter early under looming threat of censorship by Elon Musk. Bluesky *does not* seem to want this group in their userbase and repeated "odd" moderation decisions have reduced trust in Bluesky among this user community to zero. The death of C‍​harlie K‍​irk has brought this to a breaking point.

“I am bored with disruption. I care not for yet another tedious claim of innovation. Bring me the small and whimsical that doesn’t try to break the world but merely brightens one small corner of it.”

I endorse this statement by @daedalus in the latest edition of The Crux. Maybe improve things for actual people instead of trying to innovate ways to rent seek off every fucking thing.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

ICE bought vehicles equipped with fake cell towers to spy on phones:

"TOSV also signed a similar contract with ICE in September 2024 for $818,000, showing that the relationship between the agency and the company predates the Trump administration. "

#ICE was always fascist and their existence is a bi-partisan effort. Say it with me. https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/07/ice-bought-vehicles-equipped-with-fake-cell-towers-to-spy-on-phones/

Okay, I have all but confirmed that the mysterious "layout constraint" error that started happening in my app after upgrading to Tahoe is a SwiftUI bug: the layout engine gets freaked out by an HSplitView in the detail of a NavigationSplitView. (No, YOU have too many splits.) #SwiftUI
