An observation: people used to come to the fediverse to complain when Twitter was down. Now they go to bsky to complain.

@bielsubob only if twitter and bsky are down. but they may also go to threads to complain...

Some 🔥hot🔥 takes about that ESP32 report. Wowza

Here’s my hot take https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jbF-k78EaL4?si=Ua0NIGh-VMlm498R

This is wild, y'all. A law firm in the UK is trying to silence @PogoWasRight from reporting about a data breach.

@queserasera kind of like Madonna’s “Like a Prayer”, I suppose.

@GossiTheDog this is the sort of vulnerability I really feared when I was responsible for securing a public cloud

So long, screaminggoat! You will be missed 😕

(Note: screaminggoat is fine, but leaving the fediverse)

@briankrebs @pthenq1 all that said, I think GDP is going to be materially down, even if we exclude government spending. Also, I’m not even sure how they think they can exclude government spending. It’s clear that they can exclude what they spend directly, but their suppliers and their suppliers suppliers and on and on will have reduced spending. And farms that supplier USAID and so many more - I just have no idea how they would approach that.

@briankrebs @pthenq1 definitely that was my thought when I read that news

I’m sure the -2.8% GDP growth forecast for 1Q25 is nothing to be worried about, particularly since the forecast was +2% a month ago

Hold on to your 401ks.

Who is Gale and why is the weather app telling me to watch for her?

😞

Still looks like the Gulf of Mexico

So long, Skype.

I think I've suspended ~70 of these crazy "internet chick" DM spammers over the past 40 hours.

After news of ad supported Word and Excel, I am wondering how long it’ll be before we have ads on windows desktop backgrounds…

I just finished up my #onlyfelines photo shoot

@feld I’ve seen a bunch of consternation lately about the USG going after signal. Is there something specific driving that?

@feld @Viss I mean, I remember getting into the SP500 when it was under $400. I doubt we go all the way back to 2017, which woulkd be about a 60% drop from today
