HaJ3FgupAm8RrDJW3MHgT9X7Ft27eVaD What is that? That's a hard-coded API token that Flock cameras use to identify themselves and get OAuth credentials, which can then be used to talk to Flock's production servers. Like, anyone on the internet can probably do this right now.

A sticker to place anywhere. Like hand dryers, toilet bowls, soap dispensers, alarm keypads, coffee machines, thermostats, pedestrian crossing buttons, BBQs, park benches, parking meters... As well as staplers, pens, potatoes, bricks, brooms, lunch, potplants and speed humps.

Oh yeah, it's GIF day today, and I finally made my first Noodles for @npmx.dev npmx.dev

🔥 New blog post: Dark mode toggles that expose three states (system, light, dark) seem like the best option. Until you think about user goals, that is. Before rushing to disagree, hear me out. lea.verou.me/blog/2026/da... PS: As a data point, @jakearchibald.com was converted after reading this 😅

"make no mistakes" negative, unrealistic, anxiety inducing, process focused "do a breakthrough" positive, incredible, aspirational, goal oriented

Introducing Nub. The all-in-one JavaScript toolkit that augments Node.js (instead of trying to replace it)

Updated my security checklist with a few additions from yesterday’s Tanstack compromise: www.zachleat.com/web/npm-secu...

Open Source is going to be a social engineering war zone. Platforms aren't supporting maintainers to secure their projects anywhere near what we need now. We have to up our collective defenses: help our peers, our dependencies, not only our own projects. We'll need to work even closer together.

Blacksky's app view source code has been released publicly here.

The blacksky.community web application now uses our own API servers to load posts, timelines and profiles. When data is missing (accounts on the edges of the network, outside of our primary community, etc) we leverage @microcosm.blue

for folks who are active on x, threads, etc and feel bad about it bc of its stewards but have a hard time letting go: sometimes your behaviors overpower your values online because tech companies hire psychologists & sociologists to come up with ways to put you in that position

Also, this Brian Eno quote has been really stuck in my head for weeks: "The great benefit of computer sequencers is that they remove the issue of skill, and replace it with the issue of judgement. ... the question then is, "Of all the things you can now do, which do you choose to do?""

"as lightweight as LDAP, as simple as SMTP, …"

MAGA saw a Black man become president and decided they’d rather burn it all down than let it ever happen again. There was nothing racist about Obama, he was simply Black. Meanwhile their guy posts videos of the Obamas as monkeys during Black History Month.

happy international ice cream for breakfast day 🍨 to all who celebrate thanks to @nts.is for the initiative 💕

happy first anniversary to the term "vibe coding" coined by @karpathy.bsky.social on 2025-02-02

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

It's crazy that if you have the first principle "human ethnic groups, physical differences aside, are not different in terms of mental capacity or 'inherent' personality traits" you are woker than 90% of the people who work for supposedly liberal media organizations.

If you are a person who works in social media, and your job requires you to manage an account on Twitter/X, please ask your boss, in writing, to verify that you are required as a responsibility of your position to be on a platform that knowingly creates and monetizes child sexual abuse material …

🎂 19 yrs ago on this day, the legendary FireBug v1.0 launched, and had significant impact enabling debugging of a webpage in ways many had not seen. Here's the original blogpost: web.archive.org/web/20070129...

absolutely insane to see Musk feted at Davos as the icon of a boldly "optimistic" future in 2026, as if he hadn't just spent the last year buying elections for fascists, making Nazi salutes, condemning millions in Africa to death, and building "Mechahitler," and a nonconsensual porn/CSAM generator

Bluesky runs an appview. Blacksky runs an appview. A complete appview is a several terabytes sized database of the >18 billion follows, likes and posts of all bsky users, ever and forever. To run a different appview is to make a fork in bsky’s timeline. One has new posts from Łink. One doesn’t.

It’s really too bad that Trump’s cabinet are all spineless worms or equally crazy because “the President has gone insane and is going to destroy the transatlantic alliance because they didn’t give him a Nobel Peace Prize” is kind of exactly the thing we have a 25th Amendment for

Every day we pull three Verge stories out of the paywall for 24 hours, and today we're starting with a banger from @lopatto.bsky.social: X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it? www.theverge.com/policy/85990...

*posting on twitter* oh ho, I’ve made a wry observation. Better make sure a bunch of pedophiles see it

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Der Faschismus arbeitet übrigens auch damit, dass seine Gegner glauben er ist übermächtig und unbesiegbar. Glaubt das nicht. Sie sind es nicht.

Make it viral.

We’ve graduated from “abolish ICE is the moderate position” to “Nuremberg trials for the Trump regime and its Gestapo is the moderate position.”

The Financial Times decided to stop beating around the bush about X. The idea that it has a Trust & Safety team is hilarious so it’s totally fitting to outfit them like 🤡
