  • Sadly, I don't have enough time for that atm.

  • Ah pity. Well maybe you can post to your 8K followers to follow the brid.gy account as well so we can find them. Sadly the locked-down-PMs of bluesky means most people don't even get the invite.

  • What's your handle and is it bridged to fedi?

  • Everyone has to kiss the ring. They know who their class allies are.

  • Meh

  • Moreover, Bluesky already feels a bit like how social media would look if a non-TERF version of the Guardian was running it. It’s very liberal, very centrist, and very ‘don’t rock the boat too much’.

    We’ll be keeping an eye on this, and for the moment we’ll be posting to both Twitter and Bluesky. We look forward to engaging with you wherever you end up.

    "we're not ready to choose between the cop bar and the Nazi bar, so for now we'll keep hanging out in both."

    Of course they don't mention fediverse as an option. Of course.

  • You mean an exploit payload embedded in an image, and pwning a system parsing that image through python PIL? While there's never a 100% chance of anything, you're more likely to be struck by lightning than this coming to pass and at that point you're at more security risk at using the internet altogether.

  • I read most of it until I reached the point where it's a slow-burn advertisement for their own AI assistant

  • Why would it be a security risk?

  • I don't see how it's a privacy risk since you're not exposing your IP or anything. Likewise the images are already uploaded to your servers, so there's no extra privacy risk for the uploader.

  • yep

  • Yeah, things requiring choosing a instance like, say, email, are doomed to fail

  • Tech journalists never learn anything from history. No Vc-funded social media is good

  • For now. They're still in their growth phase. If they ever become dominant and they need to make money, they'll turn into a walled garden like every other. Everyone seems to forget that Twitter, Reddit and Facebook were also all about openness at the start

  • You can actually run it in async model without pictrs safety and just have it scan your newly uploaded images directly from storage. It just doesn't prevent upload this way, just deletes them.

  • You don't get public traffic redirected. It's not how it works

  • It stops doing checks. Iirc you can configure it yes

  • Not all web traffic, just the images to check. With any decent bandwidth, it shouldn't be an issue for most. It also setup in such a way as to not cause a downtime if the checker goes down.
