if X has the PvP multiplayer arena niche captured, bluesky should try to figure out how to capture the Minecraft creative mode niche of social media

The little known x-risk scenario where everything turns inside out

our society makes it possible to get away with being a huge asshole only on a large scale so there’s a sea of small time assholes wondering why their same shit doesn’t smell right

some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

Thinking about it you don't even need it to host its own PDSes. Just do the onboarding against the bsky PDS via the oauth login flow, but make sure patriots of the requisite faction are in control of your rotation key

Hear me out: Redsky, an atproto PDS host exactly like Bluesky, except that it doesn't have "blue" in the name

Next wave of twitter refugees is going to be wild

I made a design that is the intersection between a git commit message and a blog post. Do people want more of this?

Are the reactionaries getting younger or is that just how it seems when you're getting old

Thread full of people who can't think of any possible use for being able to make a fabulous videos instantly, for free. Meanwhile you can make viral misinformation on bsky just by showing a burning garage and saying it was caused by a Tesla, or showing the Biden Gaza airlift and saying it was China

I regret nothing yet! fly.io/blog/youre-a...

Technical problem that in theory anyone could solve by building an AI tool: Both blocklists and bsky moderation are too slow for accounts targeted by swarms of dumbasses. You need an bot that watches your replies, detects dumbass swarms and clears that shit out of your replies before you see it

The Wikipedia paradox: nothing you can read about on Wikipedia is as interesting as the fact that Wikipedia exists

The council will decide your fate

This worked which means it is all true

can't say I am happy to be living through the dumber, meaner reprise of the late ming, but you must admit it's terrific content

On Fridays I post pictures of my goats. Here are Cash, Jack, Crockett, and Fat Wally (we’re allowed to call him that bc he’s very proud of his heft and gleefully weaponizes it against the others)

a bunch of atproto stuff I always hoped to see (or build myself!) is getting built out, which is really cool. other stuff i'd love to see explored (won't have time myself for the forseeble): reusable group/role/community primitives

I would non-ironically like to see a bluesky-without-bluesky stack for deranged leftists who are mad that bsky are moderating scammers pretending to be needy Gazans. "The company is the future adversary" needs to be road-tested on some people who already think the company is the adversary.

My Chinese teacher told me I spoke Chinese with a Japanese accent and then she taught me how to do the tones properly and now I sound like a Geordie

I will say I I'm impressed that LLMs can pretend to be human without getting tired. That shit wipes me out after like an hour

When anti-AI zealots say untrue things like “ChatGPT can’t search the web,” they’re just hallucinating because their training data ends in 2022. The next generation of anti-AI zealots will be better. Eventually, we will achieve “general anti-AI,” which will only say true things about LLMs.

i'm done with public data backups!!! a script on the PDS will run every hour and update this bucket with all the data needed to move to a different PDS if @witchcraft.systems goes down link.storjshare.io/s/jufla747mc...

It's weird that the anti-capitalist left are so technophobic because since Communism failed they haven't had any kind of plan to replace capitalism. AI-driven centrally-planned Communism could conceivably actually work in practice, you don't need free markets if the government knows everything
