bluesky blocklist abuse 

It has been 3 days since I made a joke about how easy it could be to abuse blocklists on Bluesky (anyone can set one up and you can opt in to automatically block/mute everyone on the list), and now I have seen that someone is running a massive list accusing hundreds of people of supporting/distributing CSAM. The list is partly automated, and also anyone who disagrees with their use of the list gets added to it.

No way this could go badly, nope, none.

Excellent advice regarding uspol...

Knowledge is a paradox. The more one understands the more one recognises the vastness of their ignorance...

It’s sorta frustrating that I have someone I used to follow muted because recently all I saw, was people retweeting them complaining about someone they had blocked, as though the rest of us were to blame.

Too complicated to try to filter it out.

You know what was ridiculed constantly in the 90s but no one makes fun of anymore?

Boxed wine.

Is there more appreciation for cost efficiency now, or is it my hunch that the world is so screwed up that 750ml isn't enough to cope anymore?

Avi Loeb of the Galileo Project spoke about the need to analyze normal sky patterns in order to detect anomalies using machine learning. Seems realistic, scientists, public.

But somehow “pattern of life analysis” sounds rather sinister when the US puts satellites up for supposedly that.

And yet, after USAF apparently shot down surprise balloons (and “balloons”) at great expense, I bet there was a lot of pressure to avoid being embarrassed by undetected intrusions again. toot.cafe/@JesseSkinner/113496

Well, let's see-- Raw Story quotes Dion's WaPo article, and long story short, we're likely looking at a President Vance who would appoint Trump to something, 22nd Amendment be damned.

And there are ways of repealing Amendments. Biden is turning lame-duckhood into an advantage and I'm sure Trump is taking notes because like Biden, Trump now has nothing to lose.

#elon and friends want to cut hundreds of billions out of the #pentagon's budget. taking bets on how long the weapons makers let them live.

They are not planning a four-year term.

They are planning an everlasting dictatorship.

Are we all clear on this?

Potentially hundreds of people incarcerated in Illinois should have been released from prison already because they participated in rehabilitative programs. Now a lawsuit is challenging how state prison officials have been calculating sentence reductions. wbez.org/criminal-justice/2024
