@lemonodor.bsky.social I'd love to hear your take on evidence of an encrypted data channel in GPS broadcasts. www.benthamsgaze.org/2026/06/02/t...

I am very on the fence about upgrading from a Pixel 8 to a Pixel 10 Pro, mostly for the much better camera. It's a good time: $300 sale, $250 tradein. Am I crazy? Talk me in or out of it. (I am firmly committed to Android and while I'm a little Samsung-curious, I've stuck with Pixel phones so far.)

@dangillmor.bsky.social what's your take on this? apnews.com/article/pent...

Ken and I are headed to Singapore, Cambodia, and Vietnam tomorrow. I don't really use Bluesky regularly but I post photos, etc to Mastodon. You can find them bridged here at bsky.app/profile/nels...

Trump's embrace of Russia's invasion of Ukraine is very bad news, some of the worst we've heard in the past four weeks since he became president. His announcement came with several big lies, like Ukraine started the war. And folks just shrug. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Hey everyone, I have a new small project: feditrends.com It's a link aggregator showing trending links across several major Fediverse instances. Mostly news, sometimes other things. Feditrends is originally by @ummjackson.com. I intend to tinker with it once I get a bit more experience.

Bluesky sure wants to show me stuff I'm not interested in. Still no way to turn off retweets, right? Also it shows me replies to people I don't follow, which shows me a regular stream of people I know scolding people being dumb. I don't need to see the dumb.

I don't think Bluesky is going to work for me until I can hide reposts. (I hide all reposts on Twitter and Mastodon already.)

RIP Blooskee 2023–2023.

Does Bluesky support Unicode in handles or is it ASCII only?
