@futurebird an interesting related thread from @PavelASamsonov on Bluesky about how AI is right wing. And I’ll add that tackiness and poor taste is a common trait in fascists, because they generally are mediocre and crave undeserved approval. https://bsky.app/profile/spavel.bsky.social/post/3lmptjg4frc2h

@dougfir @ai6yr the instructor in the chainsaw course I took had a story behind every rule, “pour one out for the fools who came before, teaching you what not to do”

@defcon201 among other issues: it has misspellings of known usernames and reveals no additional users that would be expected of such a leak; the cert is invalid; the payload includes word lists in an SSO endpoint which makes no sense at a technical level. Plus a slur list would surely be much longer, this is clearly trying to fit a screenshot.

FUD meaning “Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt” predates crypto bros by literal decades so I’m not going to cede that term to those shitheads.
@futurebird

@defcon201 @futurebird almost certainly FUD, Okta doesn’t make any sense in this context and even that screenshot is internally inconsistent

@futurebird @ai6yr and if the reported account is accurate, the owner of the gun was killed by it

I 3D printed pot feet out of recycled PETG (GreenGate3D) to prevent these pots from staining the walls they sit on, modeled in Rhino. I left the infill exposed to save on plastic/time, avoid water buildup inside, and hopefully offer a bug habitat for beneficials. #3DPrinting

@BeAware the iOS app @ivory kind of has this, when you start typing a hashtag it pops up a scrollable list of recently used tags (though it doesn’t stay open after you pick one so if you need to drop in a whole list it’s maybe tedious)

@anildash I decided to try out Nostr just to know it’s deal, and the happy path on iOS is you start with a feed filled with a single account talking about crypto. No thanks.
