This is a really good assessment (why people are complaining BlueSky is “mean”), IMO.
It’s also true of Mastodon, for very similar reasons.
If I may mangle a line from “Grosse Pointe Blank”:
“if people are hot in your mentions, you did something to bring them there”
OTOH, BS and Masto have tools to manage that. (though they need improvement)
TFW someone on social media mentions their kids as if they are adults and then I remember that I’ve ben following them for long enough that their pre-teen kids are now basically adults.
Over on the west coast of America they're probably going to bed about now. And it's still a couple of hours before the east coast wakes up for their brekkie.
So we have our usual glorious few hours of US-free posting time on Fedi. And if any one of you lot even so much as MENTIONS turkeys, I'll be very upset.
Yes, even you over there. Just don't.

This Techdirt article mentions that the Trump edit is over a year old, and out the time limit for UK defamation law.
Except, I don't know that's true...

So you think Trump is now calling for the Epstein files to be released because his minions have finally managed to delete all the really incriminating mentions of him?

Day 26: Emily Short
If you know who Short is, you know exactly why she's on this list. If you don't, you're probably in the majority. She's an absolutely legendary author within the interactive fiction (IF) community, which gets somewhat pigeonholed by stuff like Zork when there's actually a huge range of stuff in the medium some of which isn't even puzzle-focused, and Short has been writing & coding on the bleeding edge of things for decades.
I was lucky enough to be introduced to Short's work in graduate school, where we played "Galatea" as part of an interactive fiction class. Short uses a lot of clever parser tricks to make your conversation with a statue feel very fluid and conversational, giving to contemporary audiences a great example of how vibrant interaction with a well-designed agent can be in contrast to an LLM, if you're willing to put in some work on bespoke parsing & responses (although the user does need to know basic IF conventions). While I didn't explore the full range of Galatea's many possible outcomes, it left a strong impression on me as a vision for what IF could be besides dorky puzzles, and I think that "visionary" is a great term to describe Short.
If you'd like you get a feel for her (very early) work, you can play Galatea here: #30AuthorsNoMen

What is happening here? F-35s for fighting against drugs traffickers is very strange. An attack against Venezuela would be a good distraction for Trump from everything that is going wrong elsewhere.

*a website clearly made to sell something, but mentions open source somewhere*
aha, traditional open source, they are never gonna let me down!
There’s a line in the Times piece about Dominic Cummings claiming that the Cabinet Office secure systems had been breached by China circa 2020:
“He said he was warned at the time that disclosing some specific details of the breach would be a criminal offence.“
And I presume this is Official Secrets Act, but no article mentions this?
