This is the shift from "App Passwords" (full access) to "Least Privilege."
Granular scopes mean I can grant an app permission to write *only* to `com.example.checkin` without giving it keys to my entire identity.
Crucial for agent safety.

I've updated the OAuth permission scopes for @dropanchor.app to only ask for permissions to write blobs and Anchor specific lexicon, plus we need permission to read/delete community address lexicon for a while until all checkins are migrated to the new checkin lexicon (migration happens on login)

it's an enduring paradox that
- tech has provided for incredible historical increases in average quality and length of life
- tech can't care if it's used for good or ill, and is usually equally capable of both

“To ask about LLMs and science is to ask what program was already running when they arrived. The program, as it turns out, had been running for decades, and it was not optimized for epistemic depth.”

admitting that bad behavior by members of a group affects perceptions of that group is a faux paux in liberal american circles
so when a foreigner admits that's happened, the only safe response is to mock as if they broke rules
rather than consider that in-group behavior norms might be the problem

So I'm officially 8 months jobless as of today.
Looking for a database design/developer/engineer/architect role with data pipeline or interface experience, if anyone has leads.
Alternately, I can edit your TTRPG manuscript for a nominal fee to help keep the lights on.
Thanks in advance!
