Latest ozone release contains some security patches and an exciting new custom actions feature which allows you to create a chain of events and dispatch them in one click thanks to @jeffwithag.net 's brilliant work please upgrade github.com/bluesky-soci...

I regret having to learn who this is.

SW friends, OnlyFans and Fansly profile links should work now! Refresh or force-quit and reopen your app a couple times so you get the update

20K people have added 60K profile links in the first 24 hours! we pushed an update with some bug fixes and will keep polishing. thanks all for the feedback.

This is pretty exciting news (previously you had to run all your content through a model per policy which is a giant pain). Ironically even though nearly all of our decisions are made by humans I’ve been getting complaints on our ‘bot’ decisions for years.

For anybody old enough to remember an "iPad" is like a big iPhone Duo that doesn't fold in half unless you *really* want it to.

v1.136 is live! Introducing: Profile links We want independent writers, artists, developers, and creators to be able to build and fund sustainable projects on Bluesky. Help your followers know how to support you by adding buttons for Patreon, Ko-fi, your newsletter or website, and more.

Wow. That was a lot of things to update all at once.

@jcsalterego.bsky.social why?

It is moves like this that directly position a company’s policies, hiring, and culture much closer to the administration that should be a real concern to folks.

New report by @citizenlab.ca exposes an ad tech firm that helps spyware companies to profile+target millions of people around the world, incl. in the US and EU. Regulators and companies like Google & Microsoft need to take urgent action to stop these abuses @kevincollier.bsky.social @nbcnews.com

Oh nice!

Tbh while not identical, this isn’t that far off from Chinese pressure to shut down Rightscon…

A little scoop before Oct 7, when ICANN publishes 1,000+ applications for new top-level domains: one of them is .bsky! It's a long road (18 to 24 months), but if it goes through, handles like alice.bsky become possible.

So darn excited.

We want to make it easier for creators to link out and attract financial support, so we're exploring a new feature that lets you add links on your profile. They show up as buttons under your bio.

Between this and the enigma machine (that I haven't read in detail), I wonder how long it will take a combo of quantum + ai to start really making a lot of current day cryptography obsolete.

Automated block actions on my account, so that I can stay Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In my lane. Focused. Flourishing. TBH it was well overdue.

I was poking at Jaz's Atlas tool. atlas.jazco.dev and was wondering why we had 3 adult clusters. I zoomed in, only to find the following (kobold fantasies), and decided I'm probably better off not knowing more.

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

shoutout to a German court for getting the facts about Bluesky wrong but the interpretation right, in a new ruling that actually has positive implications for open social networks connectedplaces.online/the-algorith...

Compliments of @rahaeli.bsky.social - novehiclesinthepark.com is a good starting point for content moderation and trying to make calls with a standard set of rules when applied to different language. Will try to share more of these games so folks can practically learn how to make some calls!
