“our lead shares our philosophy that technology should serve the user, not the reverse
this is why they focus on blockchains, a technology basically always used at the expense of its users”
i do think the degree to which bluesky is stressing that they do not use blockchains really underscores how toxic even a faint whiff of blockchain has become to any normal platform
This is why I have been trying to warn about #BlueSky.
BlueSky has just been partially bought by a cryptocurrency company "Blockchain Capital" and appointed a blockchain / cryptocurrency expert to their board:
bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2…
The board member is a bitcoin researcher involved with NFT analytics.
BlueSky describe the tie-up with Blockchain Capital as a "natural partnership" and says the blockchain company has "a uniquely deep understanding of our decentralized foundation".

I suspect this relates to a specific kind of list control, but in certain apps, as I flick left or right through items, VoiceOver just goes silent on certain items. Sometimes, if you flick left to the previous item and then right to get back to the item that wasn’t speaking before, you hear the item, at other times you don’t, and the only way to hear the currently focussed item is to perform a three-finger single tap.
I am seeing this after trying several voices, and making a few other changes that I thought might work around the problem. So far, I haven’t found a fix.
I am seeing this in a list of articles in the Lire RSS Reader, it’s happening a little here in Mona, and it is also reproduceable if I go into VoiceOver settings and flick through the items in the What’s New in VoiceOver screen.
It is speech only. If you have a Braille display connected, you can read the item in Braille even when VoiceOver doesn’t speak it.
I’d be curious to know if others are seeing it, because if it is widespread, it could be a reason for those who rely heavily on their iPhones to give the public beta a miss assuming this first build goes out to public beta.
Aplausos à maltinha que anda por aí a queimar autocarros. Conseguiram fazer com que em vez de se falar do assassinato de um cidadão com quatro tiros só se fale dos autocarros queimados.

Who at the #BBC made the decision to give a platform to "Hello. I'm Michael Gove...."?
Was it Tory Tim, the DG? Or maybe Robbie Gibb on the Board, former propagandist to Theresa May?
We've only just got rid of the odious Vote Leave creep, because he was too cowardly to face his constituents.
He's an EMPLOYEE of the owner of GBNews, and editor of the Tory in-house magazine. Let him use those platforms to try & rehabilitate himself. Not our licence-funded state broadcaster.
Začínali jsme s kolegou v roce 1999, když jsme si na Invexu koupili SuSE 6.3. Tehdy byl ještě defaultní fs Reiser FS a na internet jsme se připojovali přes dial-up modemy.
Moje cesta distry byla: SuSE -> Mandrake -> Slackware -> Ubuntu a v roce 2011 jsem přešel na Debian squeeze a u Debianu jsem zůstal dodnes. Jak doma na pc/notebooku, tak v práci na serverech

A friend has loaned me an old MIDI DJ mixing desk for my kids to tinker with. I've installed VirtualDJ, which is free for personal use. But it turns out this is a "professional" deck, and needs a license to use. This is a 16 year old deck which I don't think any professional DJ would be seen dead using now.
