I love the energy of everyone posting get off Twitter/X in response to Grok’s CSAM, but those posts need to be on other sites. Everyone here gets it. Preaching, choir.

It sounds like comically specific hyperbole but it is verifiably true that in the same year Elon Musk predicted fully autonomous taxis serving half the nation, what actually happened was his chatbot became a pedophile

lmao jfc

Well.

Another ChatGPT-and-not-Anthropic story…

Liquid Glass will be the death of me.

Sorry for the long wait. I was quite busy the last 2 months securing a new 'base' for Flashes with @eurosky.social - account hosting and data processing outside of the US as sovereign social media infrastructure in Europe. There will be news coming out of that one in Jan 2026. The Android alpha...

Well I think it's safe to say my ASO improvements are working. #buildinpublic #AppStore #iOS

And we're at 300+ accounts backed up on pdsmoover.com 🥳

tomorrow's tuesday of the week but thursday of the year

Weekly Roadmap Update! Fully released: - New Following feed with cached posts and background syncing I've been working on custom fonts and a build-your-own-theme feature, but I'm pausing both for a week or so to take some time to focus on bugs and UX issues. Fonts/BYOT will still be coming soon!

Exciting milestone for @boostblue.bsky.social: The app has had over 300 daily users for 3 days in a row, an all time high!!!

If you think of "hiring in entry level positions" as "procuring labor to do the tasks entry level people do" then you probably do think AI is a magical headcount reduction machine. But the point of hiring in entry level positions is to produce mid-career employees.

Utah went from 60 degrees on Christmas to 32 degrees a few days later, and while I’m glad winter is finally starting, that transition is unacceptable.

God I know people find this site slightly annoying or whatever but this is the pinnacle of social media to me. This whole feed is running on someone's CPU serving thousands of users in a decentralised manner. Absolutely lovely. Thank you space cowboy

i think one of the bigger causes of Poster's Madness is that if you read your notifications preferentially to other feeds, the more replies/QTs your posts get the greater percentage of your total post intake is your own notifications

v3.0.3 is live! This version contains bug fixes, mostly related to the new Following Feed: - Fixed scroll to top behavior - Fix for content warnings showing when disabled - Added proper iOS share sheet - Added unread UI for alerts - Android unread loading indicator stroke width decreased (1/2)

Over Christmas we were talking about how warm it is for late December, and a family-member-in-law said: "Did you hear that flat earth theory has a way to explain the weather getter warmer?" I had to leave the room.

Small grocery run is complete. Dishes are done. Laundry is going. Time to curl up with my freshly brewed pour-over coffee, my Pumpkin Rosemary candle, and my book- Circe! I’m so thankful for the @bluebookclub.bsky.social ! I’ve been in 4-5 book clubs before and this is the best one ever! #BookSky

If I had a dollar for every British astrophysicist named Brian who put their career on hold to join a chart-topping pop group and then successfully pivoted back to astrophysics, I’d have two dollars, which isn’t much but it’s weird that it’s happened twice www.nytimes.com/2025/12/27/w...

Happy Caturday!

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

For those who have this version (of 3.0.3), how has the new Following feed been working? Have you seen any major issues?

I've been thinking a bit about Twitter's old Follow Friday tradition and how many great accounts I found from it. So I'm going to try and make it a thing here! @jcsalterego.bsky.social is the funniest account on this site, no one tell him. @peark.es for fantastic finance analysis. #FollowFriday

while oauth is clearly superior, no normal user will care about your app if they have to keep relogging every few days/weeks, so it's automatically a huge downgrade compared to the app passwords they were already using

now for the traditional eating of the christmas tree

The For You feed has been spreading like a wild fire yesterday and today and got 10K likes - which is crazy compared to the 6K likes it accumulated since ~May. Thanks to all the likes, For You overtook the defunct Skygaze feed in the search results - no more confusion about which is the real one.

Elon’s Christmas gift to all of us 💙

Here is why Bluesky is seeing a lot of activity today:

welcome to the Second Annual Bluesky Christmas Eve Snowball Fight! please drop a take in the replies and I or someone else will be along to belligerently interpret whatever you said in the worst possible light

Finally starting Circe for #BlueskyBookclub. First impression: I’m really impressed how the author is able to write a story within Greek mythology, that retains the mystique and grandeur of a realm of myth. I think a lot of similar books come off as very corny.

I don't think the Whos deserve to be saved from their sins.

The Whos of Whoville being obsessed with Christmas implies that there was a Who Jesus and I am very troubled by this.

It’s now close enough to Christmas that I force myself to put up with family wanting to play Christmas music without complaint.
