I love gross terrifying things. Because I am one
- Hey @wilwheaton.net! When you come to Huntsville for the pop culture convention in April, you should bring your cDc book- I have a sticker for it, as well as some cult of the dead cow swag for you!

- I just learned he digs cDc and as the official sinfluencer and welcome wagon of the herd, I gotta represent
- Omg new AFI album is exactly what my soul needed. It's about time davey havoc went full new wave- he's got that voice, it's perfect. New album sounds like it could have been made in the 80s, with Robert smith co producing

- Oh yeah I love it
- Shame on Fortinet They tied their engineers bonuses to their sales team, resulting in NO bonuses to their technical workers Then had the NERVE to pour salt in the wound by sending a phishing test email about 2025 holiday bonuses. GROSS.

- Hi! I'm one of the founders of Veilid. I'll echo what others are saying here- what we are building is incredible, it has the potential to reinvent the standard of online privacy and communication, but it's still not quite ready for widespread usage. However, everyone and anyone can help!!
- Because Veilid itself had no projected capital (by design!), and should be pretty monetary self sufficient once it's finished, everyone involved is working on it during their off-hours. But we are inviting everyone who wants to help to join in- whether it's documentation, code, marketing,etc

- Blasphemy
- Sigh. Yes, I know about the moderation choices Bluesky has been making regarding NCP/NCII. Yes, I know about the massive flaws and potential for abuse that their decisions have.

View full threadIt seems like a good idea at first glance- however, the filter could absolutely be used to prevent ANY content from being shared, whether it's an unflattering photo, a meme, or breaking news. And while censorship is one concern- it's also very easy to mitigate the filter if you know it exists.
- it's like putting up a single screen door along an entire countries wide open border- it's only going to get used by people who want to use doors, and it can be booby trapped to hurt those who use it legitimately.

- They've implemented an image hash filter which allows users to add images. It prevents upload of media deemed "private or intimate", but has no oversight or means to oversee what images are added to the filter. So it could censor legitimate content
- But- to be fair, they made an honest try at it, which is more than most platforms, and used literally the only org that is fighting this form of abuse using tech. They're overthinking this, but I think the Bluesky team is under a microscope here, and so ofc they're overthinking it.
- The sad truth is that you can't solve human problems with tech- and you can't always solve tech problems with humans. Nuance doesn't translate. There's ways around this gap, but they're not easy to find a balance with. There's no single step solution for this.
- Me everyday:
- This week has been pure hell and it's only Tuesday. I'm stressed, depressed, and want to curl into a ball and disappear.

[Not loaded yet]- Yeah, that's a lot of crevices for bacteria, 0/10
- I should be doing art and creating things, but instead I'm just raising truffle pigs and befriending sewer demons and holding the mayors purple shorts for ransom

- Adorable!!
- Update- once she saw the dress on, she was like "you look great and I'm stealing that dress" And I went and half the moms were wearing similar dresses. And one mom was wearing a smash the patriarchy shirt, I was amongst my people. So no embarrassment.
- So tonight I am volunteering at my kids theater event, serving root beer floats. And I was planning on wearing a nice business casual modest floral dress, and she instead is insisting that "I dress like a normie" So now I'm threatening to wear my shirt that just says CUM (in the doom font)
- Kid, this dress has FLOWERS on it. Goes just past my knees. No cleavage, long sleeves, loose and flowy. Has zero swear words, penises or vaginas on it. No scandal to be found, but it's not "normie" enough for you?? Have you seen my closet full of double entendre t shirts and slutty dresses? PLEASE
- I will wear a shirt that has a guillotine on it with the phrase "a platform for Nazis" and get in a fight with your castmates racist parent, do NOT test me. I will wear my Dwarves T shirt that features a skull with crossbones made out of penises and make this the most awkward fundraiser ever.

- Hey moms if you want to have a kid that is extra awesome and brilliant is a unique way, take Tylenol!!
