So Bluesky launched a public beta with no way to block abusers and aggressive weirdos, then explained it was because they didn’t see that sort of moderation as important enough to be included in the basic design.

Speed work over the last few months is paying off in my cardio fitness (VO₂ max levels). From 44.4 in January to 48.3 in April; taking me from ‘Above Average’ to a ‘High’ level of cardio fitness for my age. BOOM💥IN YOUR FACE MIDDLE AGE!

Great news for Linux gamers.

The next version of Steam will use the desktop portal file picker.

In practice, it means Steam will use your native desktop method for selecting and saving files, resulting in better user experience and desktop integration.

This is one of many things Flatpak and GNOME pioneered that improves the Linux desktop for everyone.
