PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

I use #GitHub #Copilot for my #dotnet projects. And I have setup the csharp LSP server via the Awesome Copilot skill, but Copilot doesn't use it (that I can see). Testing the LSP succeeds, so it works. How can I make Copilot use it? Anyone have an idea? /cc @github.com

Wat is de #ING bank slecht geworden qua service. Kan geen mens te spreken krijgen. De chat wordt abrupt afgesloten als de medewerker vind dat het klaar is. En een klacht indienen via de app werkt niet. "Gaat iets mis". Update en reinstall doet niets. Staat vast mooi in de rapportages, "0 klachten".

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

Why is #Confluence cloud setup like a social network? I don't care some colleague just read my page for the first time. No, I'm not interested in recommended pages, because I read a page about an internal process. It's so stupid.

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

@Tamer_Alnoaizy

BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this?

The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us.

Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime.

What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful.

[the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.]

I need to replace an existing Java WS with a dotnet version. I didn't build the original, so I asked #CoPilot (#Claude) to give me an overview of the APIs in the WS. It produced a correct looking list. But on further inspection it made up APIs and forgot others. But yeah, #AI going to replace devs.

Seriously, anytime I get the feeling there might be something to these #AI coding tools, they do something so stupid I'm assured they will never replace actual programmers. Asked #Copilot to update a unit-test. Works fine. Asked it to add two new unit-tests, it deletes all existing unit-tests. What?

Saw part of a video from #ThePrimeTimeagen where he wondered why artist don't like AI using their art, but coders seems to mind less AI using their code. I'm thinking it's because coders are already sharing and reusing code.

It dawned on me that #MCP is the worst possible way to connect apps together. Instead of a simple, efficient, LOCAL protocol, we get a one connected through an algorithm that requires climate destroying levels of power, is a CISO's worst nightmare and has to share all the data with its supplier.

Figured I give #passkeys another go. They've been out for a while now, surely things have improved since the last time. Except, they have not. I use #1Password. Sometimes my browser can get the passkey, other times it can't. Same for my Android phone. Sometimes it works, but mostly it doesn't.

A while ago I started blocking bigots on Steam. Whenever I was on the forums of a game and someone would ask if the game was "woke", or complain it was "woke", or similar things, I'd just block them. I feel like I'll soon discover if there is a limit to the number of accounts you can block 😔

It also seems, no matter how you describe it, or how many times you tell it not to, #Copilot will always update stuff you didn't ask. This seems to be formatting related. As if it has some internal rules on formatting and will always apply that, even when not asked and conflicting with my style.
