some helpful reminders: -not all jews support israel -criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic -being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas -arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment -violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

We’re leaving the platform formerly known as Twitter. You can continue to keep up with us here, and on the Fediverse at floss.social/@PrismLauncher prismlauncher.org/news/leaving...

I don't think anyone realizes how incredibly dangerous it is that Elon Musk owns one of the largest social platforms AND some of the most sophisticated AI at the same time. The consequences of this are going to sneak up on people and I fear many won't be prepared.

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

The worst part about these tariffs is regular people are going to experience immense hardship and Trump’s going to try to shift blame to the rest of the world. Irreparable damage to alliances is upon us unless he’s impeached from office.

I've renamed my auto block-list tool to Bluesky Shield, and it's now powered by REACT, DEEPSEEK-R1 & LLAVA.🥳 Using the power of AI, you can now force the machines to block all those pesky pineapple pizza lovers! #blueskydev #atprotodev #atdev #atproto #python #react #vite #tailwind #tailwindcss

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Hey BlueSky and/or Python devs! I made an easy to use, Python tool that allows you to automatically add people to a BlueSky block list, based on customizable phrases or hashtags of your choosing! It's entirely open source and free to download on my GitHub! github.com/EricKrouss/B...

I can’t think of a better way to honor Jimmy Carter than donating to Habitat for Humanity. He and Rosalynn first began volunteering with the nonprofit in 1984 — 3 years after leaving the White House. They volunteered every year until 2020, eventually helping to build and repair 4,390 Habitat homes.

My great uncle was his photographer who died earlier this year as well. Always spoke highly of him and his family.

Hey web dev frends, I painstakingly recreated a near 1-to-1 version of the 2007 YouTube flash video player completely from scratch in HTML5/CSS/JavaScript. Feel free to try it out below :) erickrouss.github.io/2007-YouTube...
