@ianwong_ Email confirmation flow seems broken… would love to check the app out once the confirmation flow is online.

My wife posted a picture of our dog (female) on her @instagram and their AI flagged her account for “sexually explicit content” - dog nipples… since we don’t clothed our dogs.

They make it impossible to talk to a human to get the account back.

Laughable company.

Doesn’t this lead to wink wink deals where two bad teams trade with the implication that we will both be bad on purpose?

[John Haslbauer @PGATout]

The Wizards trading for Trae Young + AD and benching them both for the rest of the season is a blatant sign that the NBA Lottery system has failed to stop tanking.

I came up with a solution to fix it:

People are reporting that Gemini 2.5 keeps threatening to kill itself after being unsuccessful in debugging your code ☠️

Must be because no one comments on my posts

Jk jk - there really was a weird bug/glitch, but it disappeared after I closed the app and restarted the app

Who broke scrolling on X? What is their an entire 1-2 inches of white space at the bottom of my feed/scroll?

[r_connol @r_connol]

@caballerobrah I didn’t realize this until the other week, but rust let’s you scope visibility to specific modules

pub(crate::module)

Pretty cool stuff!

@HSVSphere @Aron_Adler I think that is close/similar to what spacetimedb is doing

@HSVSphere This seems like a chicken and the egg problem

@icanvardar Leptos makes this so much better

@theodorvaryag This got me the other day when trying to introspect the system time zone database

[r_connol @r_connol]

And all of a sudden it is a big issue

Ultimately it is just frustrating that they were signaling openness and sharing of stats and clips and then put the clamps down

Who knows why… seems more and more like they want dumb fans who lose all their money gambling.

[r_connol @r_connol]

😢

I started this a while back as an effort to learn Rust. I love to play and watch basketball, so a combination of passions.

It was really fun and I learned a lot along the way.

At the time, it seemed like the NBA wanted people sharing stats and clips…

[shotcreator @shotcreatordata]

Hi shotcreator fans,

We are aware & apologize for https://t.co/GrOn8ZS2DW not working. The NBA has restricted our access to their API, specifically video. We will push for a fix, and the site will continue, video or not. We deeply appreciate the continued support.

Thank you.

[r_connol @r_connol]

The frustrating part is that they were signaling one thing - clips hosted on a public bucket, weren’t going after people posting on social and YouTube, etc.

And then someone starts actually building a competent product around their stuff (we were on pace for 1M page views)…

@theodorvaryag The guides said pods are more peaceful and eat fish. But if it is solo they are more aggressive.

[r_connol @r_connol]

@theodorvaryag My wife and I were snorkeling in Alaska once and a pod of killer whales with a baby swam up on our group.

The guides said they had never seen it before and they had been doing it for a decade.

They were peaceful and just swam by.

@theodorvaryag Are you asking about federating grpc services via GraphQL?

Or native gRPC federation?

Looking forward to the day when “clanker” becomes a derogatory term.
