Observing.

protip 2: save the cucumber slices at dave’s hot chicken for *after* you realize you’re too white for Medium spicy

protip: if you go to london, no matter how good your battery is, get a power bank cause google maps drains battery so bad 😭😭😭

shaking my head in disapproval as ongeki gives me a card of a girl in a swimsuit so people know i disagree

alright, who threw VLC into the thames

this, too, is yuri

*tries beans on toast for the first time*

i wonder if i have any friends in london i could meet up with can’t think of any off the top of my head

*tries boba for the first time*

google maps always talking about some “on the roundabout, take the second exit” while i’m walking. do you want me to walk on the roundabout

"You're overreacting to the waffles post" "You're overreacting to .bsky.team members acting goofy to cover up stuff" "You're overreacting to .bsky.team members banning trans people" "You're being mean calling out .bsky.team members" When are you going to learn that I am actually, not.

Vallette the witch apprentice! She has a tragic habit of using banned and dubious magics in an attempt to increase her renown. (always backfires.)

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

So this is urm... pov you're married to April in the future I guess..

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Chat Control is about to be voted on, but they might postpone the vote due to public pressure. Now's the time to write and call again, to reiterate that you DO NOT want this massive overreach to be made law! Go write some ~scathingly polite emails~, it takes just a few minutes and it's working!

(📌) if anyone is looking to move off of bluesky's PDS and onto somewhere else, my PDS @dummy.cafe is now set up and working - feel free to ask me for an invite and if you need help migrating! (hosted in Germany, regular backups, providing handles on dummy.to)

"huh, i wonder why my laptop screen is getting dimmer" the charger that unplugged and fell into the darkness between my desk and the wall:

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

hello from dummy.to !

i feel like what people need to understand is that bluesky is not decentralized the AT Protocol is a decentralized protocol that you build centralized apps on, and that allows credible exit for those apps so the appeal here is not "bluesky is decentralized", it's "we can take over bluesky"

i love the domino effect of trans people asking the moderation team to take harassment of trans people seriously and instead decided to perma ban a black guy who was one of the earliest users here

so is anyone hosting an actual separate appview? clearly the flagship appview can't be trusted anymore

BSky hid @asukafield.xyz's transphobia mod list. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

I’ve had an email from a hotel saying ‘we are eagerly awaiting you’ which seems a bit OVER-keen if anything. Rubbing their hands in reception, cackling. ‘Here he comes. Any time now.’

me coding is 5% actually sitting down and writing in my code editor and 95% me pacing in my room walking in circles and/or spinning thinking

New video is OUT! - How We're Building Audacity 4 youtu.be/QYM3TWf_G38?...

We are all criticizing you and your mods about the future of this site. Artists and the lgbt community were rooting for this to succeed and instead you turn your back on us and making it all a big joke? And having the gall to call us harassers. You are supposed to be the CEO? This is just sad

your core users are people who have already demonstrated a willingness to abandon a more popular social media site for another, in the most part for disliking the politics of the people who run it. write this on a big whiteboard somewhere in the office

Customer: (not on record) DMV: ? Verdict: ACCEPTED

i love how the new "threads" layout in Teams is literally just Slack bar for bar. it even has that dumbass "send in thread" vs "send in thread and channel" toggle that Slack does. incredible work Microsoft

i wouldn't recommend repeatedly throwing your early-adopters under the bus while simultaneously responding to concerns with jokes about breakfast

I think the most important skill in tech support is the ability to learn something brand new in the middle of fixing an issue while simultaneously saying it with enough confidence that the user trusts your suggestion.

kasane teto is a beautiful fat transgender woman now sorry i don't make the rules

LaLIGA's spanish internet blocks are now making it impossible for me to stream on weekends without a VPN

once again… please add some payment method other than paypal to your kofis !!

if there's anything you can learn from undertale, it's that if your friends are super into something, you should put some of that stuff in the things you make. not just to make them smile, but because it will probably end up making a whole lot of other people smile, too.

TIM SWEENEY???

deeply unserious website. this is a completely unforced error. banning types of 18+ when under no pressure or obligation to do so is embarrassing as hell

thoughts?

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

"PLC" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - "public ledger of credentials": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "fucking placeholder": when you fuck up and lose your keys

*takes drag on cigarette* i remember when PLC stood for placeholder

@sentimentbot.bsky.social hiiii

what the hell did i just do
