Every time you view or like a post or take most actions on Bluesky or Blacksky your requests go through your Personal Data Server (PDS). It’s also the home of all your data.
To date, we’ve used other people’s software to run Blacksky’s fleet of PDS.
In the next week we’ll be migrating to our own.

Going from strength to strength, impressive stuff!
RE: https://mastodon.social/@eff/117215319335459732
I should address this since everyone is dragging it, apparently without actually reading EFF's stance on AI. Our stance is and has always been that copyright law is generally quite harmful and that expansions of copyright law have never benefitted the public or artists. Copyright is not the right tool to deal with the harms of AI, full stop.
AI has had incredible harms in many aspects of society, EFF does not ever deny that. There are ways to deal with these harms that don't entrench power.
If you optimize a model to find exploits, you should expect it to find them—and prepare for that. OpenAI didn't. They built a model, removed the safeguards, gave it the ExploitGym task, let it run, and didn't even monitor it. That's human decision-making.
@evacide I believe that in a court of law that would be called depraved indifference.

@jenniferplusplus If I‘m reading this correctly, this is sarcasm and if that’s the case, I can only agree.
@minus it literally has the same name. it's unbelievably hackish on Apple's part. And it's maddening that so many people are acting like it's somehow different or better than the identical shit that every other phone manufacturer has been doing for years
If we use copyright as a tool we end up outlawing scraping. Do you like the internet archive? I sure do. And all this does is make it so open AI will have to pay rights-holders which are typically big studios anyway. Your works will still be trained on AI and you wont see the monetary benefit.
If you want to stop the harms of generative LLMs IMO the best place to start is by attacking their power. Tax them, collectively bargain for your rights (unions), abolish taft-hartely, etc.
The name “TransUnion” implies a function and reason for being way cooler than is actually the case.
@rmondello "You mean to tell me this whole union is trans?"

I worry that some people aren’t taking Omarchy seriously enough. It’s not just another Linux distro. It’s a well-orchestrated campaign to centralize power and influence within the Linux FOSS ecosystem. And it’s working.
Anyone paying attention to DHH and what he stands for can see what’s going on here. When the guy who thinks that brown people don’t belong in society hires the guy who thinks trans people shouldn’t exist, you can see where this is going.
Do Open Source and Open Internet organisations reflect your values with respect to AI?
@evan heavily depends on the organization.
🆕 blog! “Put an AV test at the start of your slides”
For years, I've had a test-card at the start of my slides. Before I start my talk, I can immediately see if the aspect ratio is wrong, colours are off, or any other visual issues with the presentation.
A few years ago I was invited to give a talk and was assured that the venue was set up for audio as well as video. I…

@Edent as someone who used to work in live event corporate AV, it’s wild that the techs there didn’t test basic presenter video and audio playback

Pourquoi j'ai passé des vacances de merde : https://standblog.org/blog/post/2026/09/10/Les-vacances-furent-bonnes
@nitot
C'est jouable, par contre, il faut décoller dès que le jour se lève, être rentré avant midi. Rester au frais jusqu'à 22h.
Ou alors prendre ses vacances à partir de la mi-septembre.
Sinon, effectivement, on est mal partis.
@kestral I really don't get the point of why this distro exists in the first place 😳 someone has suspected money laundering...?
@floe @kestral it's even advertised as "by DHH"! Sounds like a #dogWhistle to me...

@globalmuseum my best friend, who has a degree in medieval studies told me there are 93 penises in Bayeux Tapestry. What she didn’t tell me was that most of them are horses.
@IcooIey If you are visiting the exhibition to cunt genitals you are bound to be dissapointed
