@haveibeenpwned.com Is it possible for HIBP to publish a list of like "top 100 email domains" from leaked data?

I wish Chrome was maintained by a foundation instead of a data-hoarding corporation.

For all they shout about DEI, if a woman or PoC did any of this chat leaking nonsense, they would cancel us forever. Where are the arguments about “competency” now?

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

Pedro Pascal responding to transphobia on social media: “I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.” (via @charliejane.bsky.social) [capitalfm.com]

"Trump and Elon Musk are like two guys with six-shooters trying to hold a thousand people hostage. They only win if everyone thinks they are too strong to rush." www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

neat!

i can see how you would come to this conclusion if your job didn't require you to ever be correct

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Fwiw, I tried to get more about Yarvin into my critique of Andreessen’s ridiculous “techno-optimism” manifesto: www.nytimes.com/2023/10/28/o...

The NYC Subway is our Pyramids. A great civilizational achievement.

props to @theverge.com for hitting _just_ the right balance of editorial shade on meta's bullshit moderation choices

anectdotal, but i live near a street that gets gridlocked all the time and becomes so loud with honking and noisy cars. nothing since January 5th. a night and day change; no more traffic, just the usual city new york city noises. i am _elated_ 🎉 #congestionpricing #nyc

having a little fun putting away the christmas decorations. #doggo

Facebook suppressed promotion of political content during a Democratic administration and is restoring it for a Republican one

If you want to drive in our densest, most transit-rich environments and cause pollution, congestion, and safety hazards, that’s fine, but you’ll have to pay and if that upsets you well so it goes. Drivers have had it their way for a century at the literal expense of everyone.

Happy Congestion Pricing Day to all who celebrate!

Just going to note: getting bad AI to say stupid stuff is not difficult. That's kinda what they're designed to do. And, mostly, you're just advertising the services exist.

i really really need a way to mute follow notifications from accounts that follow more than 10k accounts. like... make it stop please.

a soggy day in nyc

so who is working on the tiktok clone built on #atproto?

I think every company was terrified that if someone else figured out AGI, they'd get left behind. So everyone lit money on fire trying to build AGI. Nobody figure it out. Now they're all left with a bunch of mostly useless GenAIs models that they have to convince investors were worth the money.

i am curious how long the bsky team will be able to maintain the firehose. it is an incredible resource and just insanely powerful. im gonna try pumping it into a clickhouse db this weekend and see if i can make my own algorithm for funsies.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Heads up everyone - this means they hate how well the blocklists work, which is amazing. But also time to be discerning about which lists you subscribe to.
