Dear @bridgefy.bsky.social ,

What’s the point of “messages without internet” if you’re asking me to sign up for an account, **especially** an #apple or #google account!?

No, thanks.
And goodbye! o/

I was reminded today just how much time commuting can take off of someone’s life…

Hooray for #remoteWork !

Hooray for employers that can evaluate workers with criteria beyond “office presence” !

Hooray for businesses that don’t need a “return to the office” policy to thrive!

Hey youths

Get the fuck off TikTok because Trump just told you factually they’re gonna fuck the algorithm to turn you all into loyal Hitler Youth.

And you won’t notice til you find out your personal demographic Need Not Apply.

A #conference where software #developers can also bring their kids is already not common.

One where the kids have **more** fun though!?! 🥳

🤯🤯🤯

Join us, Oct 24-27, in #Crete!

💡 Did you know? Our unconference venue comes also with not 1, not 2… but 5 water slides and an indoor pool!! Perfect for cooling off after a heated discussion. 🏊‍♂️

#Socrates #Crete

A sunny outdoor scene at the hotel waterpark. Several large blue water slides twist and turn — some are swirly and winding, others are straight and steep. The slides stand tall against a clear sky, giving a fun and vibrant atmosphere.

A large indoor swimming pool with clear blue water fills the foreground. Sparkling seats line the side of the pool, offering a place to relax. The space is framed by tall white pillars, and above, a grand blue dome ceiling creates an open, elegant atmosphere.

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.

Gwen Snyder is undead @gwensnyder.bsky.social · Aug 28

A lot of political influencers within the Atlantic/NYT orbit are very, very eager to sell us on the lie that we can get out of fascism by sacrificing trans people.

They will beat that drum even louder as the right weaponizes this tragedy.

They are liars now & they will be liars in the coming days.

I introduced this project during a talk at @dcfurs.com earlier this month.

It now build successfully and the integration tests pass. :D

There are some improvements I want to make (replace the DKG with ChillDKG, passkey-backed authentication, etc.), but yeah :3

A #solar powered @radicle.xyz node sounds like the perfect fit as a better way to host/seed the world's #OpenSource.

Inspired by my friend @marcandsweep.bsky.social 's "BeachHub" project [1], I'm looking to try to build one!

Anyone here tried this before ?

Isn't all money dirty,if you dig back far enough? :)

Clearly, we all draw different lines in the sand, but the very concept of "clean money" is - at best - strange to me

I am otherwise happy that Radicle is transparent about its source of funding, as any public-good, open source project should be
