PSA: You can make the atproto OAuth flow look way less sketchy with this one weird trick…
dame.is dame @dame.is · Aug 26
if you’re using Bluesky OAuth in your app, change your metadata filepath to /oauth-client-metadata.json to have just your brand domain show up on the authorize screen rather than a suspicious looking url string

i think 90% of atproto apps don’t do this, seems to not be documented yet

My mom is getting rid of her therapist. She also subscribed to ChatGPT after having a discussion about what a good therapist is.

She's 67.

Anyone who thinks that AI is just going to go away is wrong.

If only it was a more standard mfa implementation?l, or better yet passkeys.

It’s kind of weird the mfa implementation for a modern system is fucking email. It’s not 2010 any more.
🛡️ ENABLE 2FA - Add an extra security layer via Settings > Privacy and Security > Enable 2FA. While Bluesky 2FA helps protect your account, make sure your email also has 2FA enabled for maximum protection. 3/10

i really hope reddwarf.app achieves more or less feature-parity with the regular appview-backed apps, for many reasons but also just so that some random popular user having me blocked won't just fully break random threads in half when i'm just reading stuff...

The State Department is required to publish “a thorough, accurate, and reliable” history of U.S. foreign policy within 30 years of the events.

But it deleted documents about the risk of inadvertent nuclear war. https://wapo.st/49TiRY4
