Measles outbreak erupts in one of U.S.’s largest ICE detention centers Camp East Montana, one of the largest immigration detention facilities in the U.S., has reported 14 confirmed measles infections, triggering the El Paso center to close to visitors

At least 14 people detained at Camp East Montana, located on the Fort Bliss Army base, have tested positive for the disease and are being quarantined, NBC reported. As many as 1,500 people are currently in the facility, according to recent reports. www.scientificamerican.com/article/meas...

@darrin.bsky.team the pin and move hit boxes are awfully close for fingers and thumbs (unlike the mouse pointer used to demo)

The economic fallout from this admin is going to be significant and long term. One facet will probably be tons of citizens suing the gov for decades over: tariffs, bullshit HHS advice (that got ppl measles, etc). DHS abuse, overt corruption/discrimination, etc

Noem getting reassigned to another (likely prominent) role in the admin and some other moral-less, boot licking stooge taking her place is not the win pundits seem to think it is

A reshuffling of evil pawns while fuck all actually changes

welcome @doctorow.pluralistic.net!

on your own PDS host (bsky.pluralistic.net), using did:web (did:web:pluralistic.net), and self-controlled domain handle.

looks like things are working/interoperating; let us (the atmosphere ecosystem) know if you run in to any issues

I've heard that the internet (tumblr+) was built (infra) by furries so many times (and that's awesome). from my limited experience on bluesky, it really seems like it's built by trans (also awesome)

Troyhouse: How about all the scams through your SPACS, you never came clean about it. Millions of customers lost money.

Chamath Palihapitiya: bullshit

Nick_vladkis: It's not bullshit. I invested in all of them. You pitches were compelling. Then I lost tons. You made tons.
Why?

Chamath Palihapitiya: Then you generated capital losses. Did you use those yet??

Nick_vladkis: Respectfully - what kind of fucking answer is that? It's like beating the crap out of someone only to ask "how you liking that health insurance huh"

he bought twitter, as opposed to backing out, b/c of this perception? or this is referencing a different even in that saga?

Like you can specify a rule β€œyou never have permission to delete a git repo” and then they just type revert and then delete

I think safety protections are gonna have to evolve. Or longer soft delete windows or something?

Deleting a repo just being one example

I don’t have access to particularly impt repos but so far I’ve found attempting to use Claude on my local machine w/o β€œbypass permissions” on is too brutally slow. But then you are just one prompt away from a hacker or another person on your keyboard for 5s being able to perma delete GitHub repos

I can get SO much more done with AI agents than I ever could before (as a novice / junior dev) and yet I am still SO frustrated by the things slowing me down now. Just not being able to articulate clearly and quickly enough and it not quite having the refined structure to be smarter and not forget

Still just dumbfounded how many not-conservative not-maga pilled tech ppl use Twitter

Just complete moral abdication. Driven by vanity and self absorption

Excellent post from @werd.io that pretty much sums up my thoughts on the current state of "software development."

a tiny light brown dachshund is being held up by a human who is out of frame. they are at a beautiful snowy mountain range that looks straight out of a Pinterest photo. the dachshund pup, Frankie, is wearing a full body puffer jacket that matches her light brown fur perfectly.

This is Frankie. She just got a fancy new puffer and thinks she’s better than everyone now. And she is correct. 13/10 (IG: frankielasaucisse)

I could have easily overlooked some things or have flaws in my proposal, but I do think that we need a better way to capture the full spectrum of metadata that can and should exist in RSS feeds in the content rich, heavily social digital landscape like we have today

Would you be willing to add social handles at the show level for (1) the show and (2) hosts. It’d be great to have a real podcast to use an example for this stuff

@james.crid.land hey! Long time no chat, I’m messing around w Claude and seeing how far I can get to create a social podcast app 2.0.

ChatGPT gave me your pod as an ex for a show adopting podcasting 2.0 rss specs which is totally fitting

Quick question:
