There's an open PR by @thisismissem.social for email 2fa, am hoping it gets some attention soon 🤞🏼

github.com/bluesky-soci...

Add email based otp to @atproto/pds by ThisIsMissEm · Pull Request #4221 · bluesky-social/atproto

This pull request adds support for email-based OTP on sign-in for @atproto/pds, additionally, on sign-up, it sends the confirm email email. The email in the 2FA error is obfuscated. We may need so...

Yes but I'm sure MY solution that I cobbled together in 3 hours is utterly PERFECT and CERTAINLY won't cause me technical headaches at some point in my life 😇

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 1d

I've been radio silent because I'm in the process of standing up an app.bsky.* API server (aka app-view aka Barnes & Nobles). This is an expensive and time intensive operation that I didn't want to do until it was necessary.
It's a fail-safe not a differentiator in experience, but important 7/11

When we understand that our history is diverse, it changes our outlook. I hope that this Black History Month, we all take the time to uncover the history lessons we were denied in school

How many more generations will be denied Black queer history before we take action?

It's so profoundly unhelpful to anyone actually trying to build anything on their protocol because it rachets up the pressure to do things quickly when it's far more important to do things correctly.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Signal @signal.org · 5d

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

I've been working on Northsky since January and even through all the forethought and prep, I still didn't expect we'd need the full infrastructure stack as soon as it appears we do.

No rest for the wicked.

Oh cool, had no idea you'd built that (just google'd it), that's awesome.

I think they've backed off the idea, they're mainly brainstorming school project ideas at the moment. Tbh not entirely sure what they were wanting the MIDI support for; drive their modular, maybe?

PWA MIDI keyboard with really esoteric keybed designs. My partner's considering such a project and wants to run it on their iPad but Safari's lack of WebMIDI support frustrates that.

ændra. @aendra.com · 3d

So like, what are some ideas for hacking around Safari iOS' lack of WebMIDI support? Is OSC something that could work?

Personal data storage is an idea whose time has come

I think what people replying to this are missing is that Dean Street is home to both a gender clinic and a sexual health clinic. I've been to both many times over the years, they're a vital lifeline for many people.

This is intimidation of staff and patients.

NHS app: "You cannot book appointments online! Call 111!"

111: "We can't book an appointment for you because it's the weekend."

What.
