Enschittification in action!

This! When are we going to do the same thing in the UK?

Bluesky just deployed a new chat log event chat.bsky.convo.defs#logReadConvo, it would have been nice to get a little warning...

It's a good thing I don't have a life and fixed it quickly!

What's that about never deploying on a Friday?

Today was a lot of fun, I got to play with an EPOS system and a barcode scanner!

I have just spent the most of the day (worked through lunch, missed going to the gym) to work on a bug.

I've just found out that someone added a second, yes second, BFF!

So it has been silently creating secure cookies instead of the official BFF, that I thought was the one with the bug!

🤬

Not sure who you're talking to, if it's the likes of Apple or MS I very much doubt they're gonna see your post. If it's indie developers, maybe not call us cowards?

I like to be in control! 🤓

This account is running on another PDS I set-up a while ago, so this coming week will involve moving them all over to another PDS I have running on European infra

Yeah, I'll be using the PDSMoover in a day or so and moving all my other accounts over to my own PDS

Ducks are cool!

Yeah, time to get all our accounts moved over to our own PDS; this has been going on for a few days and the radio silence, coupled with a misleading status page, leaves a lot to be desired

I decided to close down my account because it stopped being a platform that meant anything. Filled with corporate sycophants who routinely spouted word salad instead of anything of any substance. Nothing on it was honest.

This past Easter weekend has seen Bluesky's PDS fleet experience spikes of instability, of course the status page records these on graphs but still gives a response for 100% up time 🤨

If calls are timing out or experiencing periods of latency, then this is not 100% up time

Just FYI

I don't think they count for anything

Anthropic is likely to be the leader amongst the few 'AI' companies that survive the next couple of years, that aren't Google or finally taken over by Microsoft. This would be a huge "f you" to Trump if they came to the UK.

So not actually writing code, then?

The question is, does he fully understand the code that Claude writes, or does he just commit; safe in the knowledge no one dares reject his PR?

Yeah, I might pull that out of my version, I also need to remove the link tracking too

Building in the open What you've told us, what we're building, and a word about bugs.

We asked what you wanted from the app. Some of you answered. This week's blog post covers what we're doing about it, the approach we're taking with location and feeds, and a confession about bugs.

Oh, and if you're on Android and fancy testing early builds, we want to hear from you!

This is my worry with permissioned data, that they'll string us along saying that the standard isn't 100% confirmed while secretly working to implement it in their own code. Then the first we hear about it being ready is when they put out a statement telling folks about private accounts etc.

What's very true is that nothing happens at the protocol level without 'buy-in' from Bluesky PBC, that's why the IETF is a good first step; but it needs the independence, speed, and authority to rule against established interests.

I remain open-minded, we'll see where things go from here...

I've already implemented it! 🤣

🤔

Yup, it needs to be better

There needs to be an affordable European alternative for domain registration

Whenever a user takes the time to reach out with a tech support query, I see it as a privilege to help them. Reporting a problem shows they want to use my product and help make it better for everyone.

Why can't others do the same?

#Bluesky

Let's face it, the only reason, THE ONLY REASON, America is paying attention to the Moon again is for its own narrow self-interest, now that China is taking an interest.

The state visit of the King to the US should not go ahead

Lots of opinions flying about today, did something happen over the weekend?

That's a glib answer

Why can't you just open your DMs? I seem to remember that Steve Jobs had steve@apple.com when he was CEO
