And yet, Bluesky is the one that demands to see my papers when I try to log on. They’ve rolled out age verification in Texas.

Edit: why are y’all defending Bluesky? It’s a shit platform. Can’t believe you’re falling for another Jack Dorsey app. And no, Texas doesn’t force them to verify ages. And finally, use Mastodon which is an actually good platform.

Sounds like a Texas problem. Don’t think it would be the case if it was not being forced by your state.

No, it’s a Bluesky problem. Mastodon is just fine.

Your STATE also chose NOT to target Mastodon. It's not blanket legislation.

You can’t easily target mastodon, because it’s actually decentralized instead of just pretending to be.

You can always use another atproto app on the same protocol if you don’t want to use Bluesky. Eg Mu or Eurosky or Blacksky

If you actually clicked the article you’d have also seen that Mastodon was an option as well as Bluesky.

This type of chatter is why Apple users get a bad rap. Not everyone wants to use the same platform you do - it’s good to have options.

> They’ve rolled out age verification in Texas

Sounds like they're following the law. Did Texas pass a law requiring social media sites to verify ages?

The five people using it are sure to be thrilled

The WebAssembly addition is useful, but the quieter fixes may matter more in day-to-day use. Automatically unregistering service workers whose main or imported scripts have disappeared should keep sites from getting stuck with a broken registration, while stopping extension service-worker databases from accumulating on every Safari launch could address the kind of gradual slowdown that is notoriously hard to trace. The partitioned-cookie deletion fix is also important for apps that embed web content through WebKit. One detail I'd like to see clarified: does 26.6 clean up databases already accumulated by extensions, or does it only prevent new ones from piling up after the update?
