I also like the rsc paradigm I just finished an MVP of an React 19/RSC based framework and to my surprise because of how I decided to implement things, the framework wasn’t impacted at all by any of the recent React CVEs

adding subcommands to docker because why not
docker() {
  if [[ $1 == "check" ]]; then
    command docker ps -a
  elif [[ $1 == "nuke" ]]; then
    command docker container prune -f
  else
    command docker "$@"
  fi
}

I have been boycotting this jackass and any Shopify companies since its inception. I highly recommend you do the same. He allows neo-nazi’s to sell merchandise on their platform. He caters to them. Do better.

I'm not personally so invested in any social media that if any went away for good I would be devastated, but I think we should all care about how and why they go away and who's exerting the power to make it happen. All of this rot is systemically connected.

racism was always here. it never spontaneously appeared. what he’s noticing is the decaying myth of canadian politeness & people’s willingness to keep quiet. he’s sad everyone doesn’t play make believe anymore so white settlers don’t have to feel guilty or be inconvenienced in any way.

We’re letting private companies control our public discourse and they are polluting our democracy Reddit is a multimillion dollar company that relies on amateur moderators who provide free labour and have arbitrary power over what news millions see We need to take these platforms more seriously

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment *even after the schools ended any racial preferences* then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"

The legal basis that X asserts in the filing is not terribly interesting. But what is interesting is that X has decided to involve itself at all, and it highlights that you do not own your followers or your account or anything at all on corporate social media, and it also highlights the fact that Elon Musk’s X is primarily a political project he is using to boost, or stifle, specific viewpoints and help his friends.

it's kind of sad that some folks i followed on the other app may never join here. this is why it's important to invest in what's being built here. this problem of your social connections being held hostage won't be a problem for much longer. this is the last painful migration we do. we're free now.

Bluesky is proof that cryptocurrency isn't a core tenant of decentralization. The team demonstrated extreme levels of pragmatism by leveraging new and existing technologies to produce something people actually use.

The idea that Bluesky is insular and X is a place for diverse views is a fallacy. X is based on an algorithm rigged to push the views of Musk and others on the far right. Bluesky is open. You can make it whatever you want it to be.

“Black users on Bluesky are already working to build a community on the site. One user, Rudy Fraser, launched Blacksky, a collection of curated, Black-centered feeds that filter out racism and misogyny to provide a safe, inclusive experience for users.”

Black Twitter helped define the internet — so where will the exodus from X lead?
Some X users say they’re hoping to create a new “Black Twitter” on other social media platforms.

I think one thing people are liking about BlueSky, perhaps without realizing it, is the fact that it's populated by *real* people. Bot/troll/sockpuppet/AI content has become so ubiquitous elsewhere on the internet; many of us have forgotten what it's like interacting online with genuine humans.
