Here's my best effort to work out why Bluesky blew up over the weekend. Bluesky knows what it's *for*. Threads is still working that out platformer.news/bluesky-post-e…
It also stands rather sharply in contrast to Threads. As a Mark Zuckerberg production, Threads was always going to get a cool reception from elites of both parties. Their initial predictions that the app was dead on arrival were quickly proved wrong, as it rocketed past 100 million users in a few months. I seem to enjoy Threads more than most people I know: I’ve found it more than adequate for following the day’s tech news and the conversation around it, even if it’s not nearly as vibrant as Twitter once was. Threads has had moments of cultural impact; Stephen King now identifies as “a Threads guy.” In general, though, the feed feels less vibrant than Bluesky’s has over the past couple weeks. There is a sense that few of the people using it have a strong sense of what it is for, exactly. Ryan Broderick today called it “some kind of algorithmic holding pen for anyone who has ever eaten a Sweetgreen salad in Salesforce Park.”

This one’s quite important, thespinoff.co.nz/atea/25-10-20….

While Māordom has been in an uproar about the Treaty Principles Bill, which New Zealand First MP Shane Jones says is “dead in the water”, the coalition government has quietly set the wheels in motion for at least 28 pieces of legislation to have their Treaty clauses reviewed and potentially removed.

Key terminology here is “investors.” This seems like just the right sort of trickery perfected by conservatives in America.

thx @ClareBear


The under-the-radar Treaty clause review that could have far-reaching consequences

Shane Jones has the Treaty clause in the Conservation Act in his crosshairs – and it's just one of an estimated 28 laws set for review.

can a UI designer (preferably one who works at microsoft) tell me why there's a link in windows settings labelled "changing taskbar colour", which opens a bing search in edge for "change windows 11 taskbar colour site:microsoft.com", with colours spelt the UK way, which shows zero results but has a suggestion box containing a button labelled "open colors setting", with colours spelt the US way, which opens a new tab which asks if you'd like edge to open settings, which opens the windows settings app to the colour personalisation page, only to have the "set taskbar colour" switch be greyed out
windows settings screenshot with a hyperlinnk labelled "changing taskbar colour"
bing search for "change windows 11 taskbar colour site:microsoft.com" (UK spelling). there are no search results, but there's a suggestion box thing with some text about what the windows 11 personalisation settings are capable of, and a button labelled "open colors setting" (US spelling)
microsoft edge popup window reading "this site is trying to open settings. https://www.bing.com wants to open this application.", with the options "open" and "cancel". "cancel" is highlighted in blue, and "open" is grey.
windows settings screenshot. "show accent colour on start and taskbar" is disabled.

UI designer here, it's a mix of corporate greed (the Bing/Edge nonsense) and just bad UX design (you apparently have to switch the theme to "Dark" or "Custom" - if you select Custom you then have to switch "Windows mode" to dark first 💀 - for that toggle to get enabled from what I've seen, never used Windows 11 though)

A collaborator found out that the US State Dept is seeking public input on whether "satellite signature reduction" should be subject to ITAR regs.

Translation: should satellite operators who make their satellites fainter (in order to not destroy the night sky quite as much) be allowed to talk about how they did it?

So some of my collaborators and I put together a quick and easy template for you to email the US State Dept and tell them this shouldn't be secret info:

I think liberals consistently fail to understand how much US culture is saturated in a cowboy/gangster/disruption ethic that privileges risk over safety and greatness over equity.

There are virtues to this ethic. But it also comes with a legacy of brutality that is only too visible right now.

americamagazine.org/politics-s…


In cowboy country, inequality is not a bug. It’s a uniquely American strategy.

The goal is not to make sure everyone is safe and secure. It is to enable a few people to do really, really well.

Thanks for writing this. I think chunks of it could apply to the "longing for days of Empire" mentality in the UK too, as espoused by the likes of Boris Johnson. I've often found it interesting that the heroes of that tribe tend to be explorers (Shackleton, Livinstone, Scott, etc) creating an analogous mythology to the wild west. Plenty to ponder.

At the time, I thought I missed focus because focusing with a Rolleinar is hard (it is). But now having discovered the focus was out of whack, I wonder if it wasn't just the camera 🤔

oh yeah... remember who he wants to be controlling things in regards to the CDC, etc. It will get MUCH worse... as in the CDC will be near useless under Trump this time. He plans on purging it, just like he wants to purge the joint chiefs of staff of the military, the FBI, the Education system etc. And the current speaker will do whatever he wants, if they can ram rod it thru.

I went to the Lamberton Conservatory in Rochester, NY yesterday. Well worth the paltry $3 entry fee. Cool plants and also turtles and tortoises and little birds crawling and hopping around underfoot.
#LambertonConservatory
A tortoise reaching up on their front legs to get a closer look at us. The legs are covered in small and large brown and yellow scales. The head is fully extended from the shell and turning a bit to the left, giving us side eye.
A small pale gray bird with yellow feet, running to the right. The feet and background are blurry because it was moving fast, but somehow I managed to move the camera at the same pace as the body, which is pretty clear.
A curving brick path under a greenhouse structure, with tons of beautiful flowers on both sides, mostly yellow and purple on the left, and cream on the right, with some ferns at the top right.
Looking up under a garden croton plant with purply red leaves, with a string of red fairy lights.
