@dangoodin Interesting article. Always good to know the trade-offs of cloud vaults vs local, etc.

As a Bitwarden user, are there any mitigating actions one might take? Or is this more of a "know your threat model" sort of thing?

@stefan @ariarhythmic "Every instance for themselves" would be really bad for a set of services which heavily promote decentralization, yeah. It shifts the goalposts to fewer organizations who have the resources to navigate legal (and other) requirements.

@apps If I understood it all correctly though, you would follow accounts based on these criteria.

I was thinking of the reverse, where people elect to follow the discover account. Perhaps some settings-based checks could also be applied, as you did previously. Looking to make sure the account is indexed and so forth before following back (which I guess would be the thumbs up that the discovery is now active).

Apologies, I'm problem solving things I imagine greater minds have already considered while putting off what I should be working on (which is making me tear my hair out). Either way, I look forward to whatever ends up working. The Holos stuff is such a novel concept!

@apps Rather than a hashtag, is it possible to do this based on users following a particular account? Like the Bluesky bridge.

I don't know any of the technical particulars, so unsure if this is a feasible alternative. Feels like it would have less friction, though.

@Natasha_Jay @meuwese couldn't help but read that in my head in Colin Firth's voice.

@samir Oh, yikes. That's disappointing. Even throws in "open source or open weights", like those words have any meaning in this context.

@nixCraft Anyone got a link to a good write-up? Although I had a PS2, I never believed any of this Emotion Engine super computer nonsense. Just felt like marketing fluff to nail the coffin lid shut on the Dreamcast.

@apps I have to say, your handling of this has been incredibly measured and respectful. I don't know if that's weird feedback, just wanted to reply with something positive. I think other projects could learn a lot here.

@bodhipaksa Oh wow, flash back to primary school. Hideous stuff.

@Natasha_Jay Ah, yes! So now I definitely need to use this in work, somehow.

@Natasha_Jay "No meaning", that's thoughtful. You could fly no flag but that wouldn't be proper. Or I suppose anyone observing you might decide you're too lazy to fly a flag.

These should all be statuses in Teams, complete with flags.

@gamingonlinux For what it's worth, this may be regional, or possibly not live yet. It's listed as $5.99 for me.

@evacide Oh my word, yes please. That'll be an instant share to family.

@garius My teenager and I had the Oracle talk last night. She literally only knew them as the Red Bull sponsor

@elasticsoul If nothing else, the F-35 sounds like the hardware version of modern software.
