ATProto PDX’s first meetup was a fun time! Looking forward to the next one

Don’t ever be afraid to smile :)

Been working my way through this and I love it! Thanks for all your great work

so i'm actively working on feeling ok not doing any of that

Consoles are over. PC and indie games are thriving

‘Age Verification’ could force trans people to out themselves to use the internet Automated online ID checking systems add new potential dangers to having a mismatching ID.

‘Age Verification’ will force trans people to out themselves to use the internet. After Kansas suddenly invalidated hundreds of trans peoples’ licenses, experts warn the discrimination is set to extend to online spaces.

*taps sign* China is a real place with actual people and policies, not somewhere for you to project your feelings about the United States onto.

Open Letter to Tech Companies: Protect Your Users From Lawless DHS EFF is calling on technology companies like Meta and Google to stand up for their users by resisting DHS lawless administrative subpoenas for user data.

Even giant tech companies are made up of individual employees who mostly want to do the right thing. Resisting lawless ICE subpoenas is an easy place to start. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

They really buried the lede on this, but I love the fact that you can query your Bases in the CLI and output JSON! This is exactly the push I needed to start using Obsidian as a database (albums, articles, etc)

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.
