Do it with Muppets you cowards

“Everybody feels guilty, but they don’t know exactly what they’re guilty of,”

pitching a Coen brothers knock off movie to The Asylum:

The Communications Workers' Union has announced its decision to formally close its account with X, formerly Twitter, accusing the platform of being anti-worker, anti-union, and anti-democratic

You guys are getting specs?

Random Post - This ARM-based new Surface Laptop I've been using for the last 6 months is just the best damn windows laptop I've ever used. Intel is cooked ^G^G^G has some challenges ahead, as x64 just ain't the move. All day battery life, actually sleeps when you close it, quiet, fast, just works.

I am making print-ready files of the below piece available to all! You can grab them here: s.42l.fr/BURNTHEMALL You don't have to pay a single cent, but if you'd like to throw me a few monies, then you can at ko-fi.com/nellucnhoj Enjoy!

I wrote this on eternal life and ceaseless cringe. And how I've no interest in living forever if it's in a world ruled by the weird, brittle freaks we call tech CEOs. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

One day, people will wake up, turn most of this stuff off, and stop doing business with companies who don't respect them.

Training materials obtained by @theintercept.com include specific examples of permitted hate speech that “demonstrate that Meta’s policy changes are political in nature and not intended to simply allow more freedom of expression,” EFF’s @jillian.bsky.social said.

Once upon a time, not the entire internet was 4chan. Only 4chan was 4chan, because everywhere else would kick you out for Doing 4chan in their spaces. It sounds utopian, but it is true.

Here’s a visualization of all the curse words in real time, which is oddly satisfying: swearsky.bagpuss.org

Is your Following feed overcrowded? Do you wish you could check in on one little world at a time? Not only does Bluesky have purpose-built feeds and lists for this, but you can convert any starter pack to a list using @wandrme.paxex.aero's terrific tool. Then you can pin it for easy access!

maybe the guy who names all the rappers is just tall

The fact that the right wing bad faith crowd is now trying to invade Bluesky because everybody left Twitter just shows you that their rotten ideologies can only get spread when they have institutional support to do so

I made a thing! I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃 Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something

ok, let's break it down. at the core of atproto is the data. it lives own your own computer (or someone hosts it for you). think of it as a hard drive with JSON files on it data is structured (i.e. has a type), and can references other records on other peoples' computer with a URI like a hyperlink

We’re used to a symbol ✔️ to verify identity and status, which is hierarchical & binary. On bsky, our mods label 🔴 false identities as impersonations and we have more than a binary symbol ✔️ for you to express your presence, like custom domains! More experiments for equitable self-expression to come 🤗

a few common Bluesky misconceptions i see in articles

Ruh roh. Donnie’s already getting tired of Elon. Too much ego in one room, and he’s so annoying and awkward. Should we put up a head of lettuce? 🥬

To grow sustainably, we’re working on a subscription model for premium features like higher-quality video uploads and profile customizations (think colors and avatar frames), but Bluesky will always be free to use. We believe information and conversation should stay accessible to everyone.

I love the idea of starter packs on here to find interesting people. Sometimes I don't want to follow everyone from a pack (some of them are quite large) but would like to add them to a feed I can check in on. Is there an easy way to do that or am I missing the point of Starter Packs?

It seems awful early for it to feel so late.

Google’s use of AI is going GREAT

Sigh no C# SDK for the AT protocol atproto.wiki/AT_Protocol/...
