      Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.
      
      Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

      RSVP is an acronym for a French phrase that literally means "Please respond"
      
      Respond however you wish, but please respond.
      pony pony huckabuck @spindlypete.bsky.social

just fyi you are supposed to rsvp no if you cant make it, not just yes if you can. thread on the mom group about rude people just declining to respond and multiple commenters saying "wait were we supposed to be rsvp'ing no? i just don't reply for no" you have to rsvp either way. make a note

      @matthieu.bsky.team noticing knownValues don't seem to get into generated TS, which hurts autocomplete. is it possible to somehow produce string types with suggestions, like medium.com/@florian.sch... or similar?
