It’s a microblogging service (similar to Twitter), ran by a small dev team and backed by Jack Dorsey (of Twitter origin). It’s been in “invite-only” closed beta forever so it has never really gone super mainstream. Some communities have kinda made their way over there but for the most part it seems threads and mastodon will run away with things in terms of being heirs to Twitter (imo). Bluesky is building their own platform (AT) that will allow others to stand up their own “bluesky” instances that federate with each other, similar to how mastodon works on the Fediverse with ActivityPub. Not sure what the progress is with that but am skeptical it will ever actually be a popular choice given the success of AP/Fediverse and the fact that threads and other large platforms (Wordpress, Tumblr, etc…) have already implemented or committed to building in AP support.

Ah interesting. One more in the “negative” column for Bluesky then imo. What Mastodon gets right (perhaps in a sea of things that it gets wrong) is that it relies on people to build and maintain their communities, rather than hoping that technology can solve all the issues of moderation, etc… Yeah, there are improvements that we hope will get to AP. It’s obvious bsky is just not the future.

Whatever it is, I’m looking forward to the eventual release!

Thanks! Yeah, the mild slights against Apple were silly but for me, I thought it was at least worth pointing out the cool features Apple highlighted in their behind the scenes article.

For The Verge, probably just for clicks unfortunately…

The Verge out here rage baiting everyone to perfection hahaaaa. Guess I got suckered in too.

Did some teaching on the side a while back. Busy but kinda fun for a bit.

Would never say no to more. Could probably make more at same level. But am mostly happy / feel fortunate for where I’m at.

What is the worst US state to live in generally?

I’m aware that, at the moment, Florida is deemed unsafe for people to travel to, but what is generally the worst state to live in? Factors such as education, religious extremism, crime, cost of food, healthcare, and access to other resources are relevant. Will “Deep South” states remain one of the worst places to live in...

@shellsharks@infosec.pub avatar

Every time ive seen an article about worst state it’s always Mississippi :-/. But these days thanks to awful leadership Florida and Texas are making a case for the crown.

Yes I love it. Once it rolls out of beta and adds Lemmy support I’ll be throwing $$ at them in w/e way they’ll take it.

This is 100% true. That said, I bet most redditors had no idea this was happening. But as I think about it. I bet most sub mods did, they could have found spines… but like you said…

Since you found my comment here I’m going to safely say you aren’t in the “most redditors” camp I referenced 😅. You’re one of the good ones.

shellsharks,
@shellsharks@infosec.pub avatar

Sounds like your faith in the average redditor to have general awareness is quite lofty. I suppose I don’t share that conviction. For the record I never looked at the front page. Just jumped straight into my communities of interest.

What kinda notes are you looking to take? If you want something real simple but works across all devices, is super fast and with great search, try Simplenote. If you want something with more power, I’ll echo what others here have suggested and say Obsidian. Don’t do notion.

shellsharks,
@shellsharks@infosec.pub avatar

Basically this www.notion.so/product/ai. AI hype train, won’t be long til this is default (if it isn’t already) and they steal all your notes/writing to feed LLMs and monetize your work without you knowing.

shellsharks,
@shellsharks@infosec.pub avatar

You do you then! I tried notion but switched to obsidian because I found Notions web UI awfully slow given I just wanted to muck around with plaintext and markdown files. It wasn’t a bad product though. They’re popular for some good reasons too.

shellsharks,
@shellsharks@infosec.pub avatar

Same. In the market now for a laptop so could be a good time to jump in.

It’s been a bit since I got an episode up but you could check my podcast - shellsharks.com/podcast. It’s tech / infosec-themed. I’m pretty sure I take a lot of jabs in the other direction haha.

I like MacStories too

I love Reeder for iOS. For service I’ve been using Feedly since the beginning so I’ve stuck with them. But these days there is probably better (and cheaper) options.

[D4] silent dropchance nerf?

Hey follow demonslayers, do you also have the feeling of a dropchance nerf? Befor the last big patch i was able to farm 1-2 uniques a day and at least 3 legendaries from the 175 helltited chests. Over the last week i only managed to get 1 unique, despite doing all activities from helltide, nightmare dungeons to worldbosses. The...
