Bluesky absolutely provides a better, more cohesive and centralised experience than most of the fediverse microblog alternatives.

That’s why it’s getting more people

That's BS, they're only getting more people 'cos normies never heard of the fediverse, maybe once or twice about mastodon and couldn't be arsed to try a fringe app "nobody" uses anyway - it's liek email? What?

Plus their two techie friends are moving to Bluesky so it must be good.

Title is misleading?

An AI-generated nude photo scandal has shut down a Pennsylvania private school. On Monday, classes were canceled after parents forced leaders to either resign or face a lawsuit potentially seeking criminal penalties and accusing the school of skipping mandatory reporting of the harmful images.

Classes are planned to resume on Tuesday, Lancaster Online reported.

So the school is still in operation.

If we want to talk about the real problem with nuclear energy, the key issue is nuclear weapon proliferation, which is enormously underplayed even in serious scholarship on civilian nuclear programs, but it’s not a pressing concern when it comes to nations who have nuclear weapons or operate under a nuclear umbrella.

There are quite a few reactor designs that can operate on non-weapons-grade stuff and even can use spent fuel from other reactors.

Saying "it's overregulated" in the US is a bit dangerous. Other countries do seem to do better at it though.

I'd say that collapsing thing depends on the client...

Don't know which is worse, really. At least some at least unlist from the second post onwards, kinda mitigates.

He is. And his care for the audience translates to posting 10+ post threads to mastodon, a microblogging platform, because he cares so much. Instead of, dare i say, posting one toot with a link to his blog.

Power corrupts. No news there.

Self? Kinda. To others? Don't get caught.

Gentoo's forums are quite active and it's one of my daily drivers. I think the others kinda faded away.

Don't think so either but it has withered away.

Hardly obscure.

 

The NSA has a video recording of a 1982 lecture by Adm. Grace Hopper titled “Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People.” The agency is (so far) refusing to release it.

Basically, the recording is in an obscure video format. People at the NSA can’t easily watch it, so they can’t redact it. So they won’t do anything.

 

Of course if Microsoft undermines standards' interoperability...

 

This is a screenshot from an NPR article discussing the rising use of ad blockers. The page is 12 megabytes in size in a stock web browser. The same article with basic ad blocking turned on is 1 megabyte.

 

I was tricked by a phone-phisher pretending to be from my bank, and he convinced me to hand over my credit-card number, then did $8,000+ worth of fraud with it before I figured out what happened.
