@ericmigi.com my phone is blocking non-stop attempts from Mixpanel tracking software included with the Pebble app. It is currently the most privacy invasive app on my phone, and it's not even close. Don't quietly bundle garbage like this.

An interesting read from one of my all-time favorite authors

When you are a child there comes a day when you realise that the only thing needed to make bubbles is dish detergent and water. And there is always dish detergent. So why isn't every day a bubble day?

@errorjustin.bsky.social ...I'm guessing you're already on it, but this looks like a potential Davi-game. I've enjoyed a lot of Klei games in the past. youtu.be/Ck-ALQ0uOnk

Whistleblower drops 'largest ever' ICE leak to unmask agents: 'The last straw' www.rawstory.com/ice-agents-d...

unfortunately very ironic remembering that elon called bluesky “pedosky” a year ago, yet his ai model is now publicly posting csam (of real people no less)…

8 years later we still haven't forgotten your racist asses. There's no expiration date.

White House astonished as Pete Hegseth reads Franklin book all by himself

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

@errorjustin.bsky.social I've been a Gamepass subscriber since I started it to try out The Outer Worlds in 2019 (I loved the game). With Ultimate at $34CAD a month, I have unsubscribed less than a month before The Outer Worlds 2 (I'll buy it on Steam instead). Do you still think it's a good value?
