Oof, how did that happen? Also I am fan of hard drives, not SSds, mainly because they spin, and because the sound is kind of soothing if the hard drive is well-made. SSD is just like, nothing, silent. I have a 500Gb one, and it works, it's okay, but only if I need to use it for a VM from time to time. I won't deny the faster speeds though, also there should be some care of these ssds and whatever. I am not sure and I don't understand so I can't say much on it.

It was the best of #DoctorWho, or it was the worst of Doctor Who - but can a story be both things simultaneously? Find out as we discuss The Web Planet:

Added some post embeds for bluesky and mastodon to the sidebars of my articles, built with web components!

Example! heather-buchel.com/blog/2024/0…

Highly recommend taking a look at @DavidDarnes blog posts for implementation. I started with that as a base then chopped it up a bit since I can hardcode a bit of it.

NEW: Security researchers have confirmed that iPhones running iOS 18 now automatically reboot if they are not unlocked for 72 hours.

The feature, called "inactivity reboot," will make life harder for thieves, law enforcement, and forensic experts trying to extract data from iPhones.

New Apple security feature reboots iPhones after 3 days, researchers confirm | TechCrunch

“Inactivity reboot" effectively puts iPhones in a more secure state by locking the user's encryption keys in the iPhone's secure enclave chip.

yikes, bsky removing or labeling Palestinian accounts as spam, ostensibly because they are following too many people or posting gofundmes, but according to these threads the problem looks too widespread to just be a coincidence from e.g. automated flagging. Can't find any response from their mod team. Composable moderation is good but i am not sure how the atproto labeling model addresses the baseline problem of scaling suspensions/bans - either they take a very light touch and you get a flood of nazis, or you need to lean on automated tools or overworked mods without enough context which has (hopefully accidentally, but still really bad) impacts like this.

Ok, super! But why then TRUMPets for BlueSky?

Bluesky is almost an exact copy of X, a centralized dickland. We really should just stop sheering for and jumping on these same toxic boats over and over again.

I rather prefer that people stay on X than that they go to Bluesky bragging believing they did a good thing.

I understand that you want to promote your product everywhere, but keep in mind that you might loose some if you're having to much parties on certain boats...
