The New York Times coverage of trans issues has repeatedly resulted in experts and others complaining that their words were twisted and misrepresented... but only those quoted from on trans supportive side have that complaint. Coincidence or eliminationism? @billiejsweeney.bsky.social dives in.

For someone so obsessed about efficiency it’s such a long way to say “I’m a sociopath”.

Look the next stage of capitalism has arrived!

Nom nom nom These stories are so tasty

“I do not know when this one breaks. I do not know if I will live to see it. But I do know that the oligarchs who built this loop are building against time. And time is the only thing their god forsaken wealth cannot buy” www.thedissident.news/exit-conditi...

I loved this writing, as it had echoes of my own experience. It wasn’t a Mac for me. It was a Compaq Prolinea 4/33 with a Tseng ET4000. I didn’t have money. So, well, if I can’t run that game because no graphic acceleration, I’ll dig into things… batch files? Pascal? I can make my own? Cool cool.

“You used AI to adjust your seat…?” “Yeah” “Why don’t you do what was most comfortable to you?” “That’s the thing I didn’t know”

I love features like this because every single one of these products ALREADY HAS THIS FEATURE, it's called their algorithm and it was the literal foundation of the entire user experience until this point. The story is "we're doing algorithm again, but slower and worse."

Dunno. Maybe we shouldn’t fix this and let natural selection run its course? (an because this is social media: it’s a joke)

It is already possible to run it locally, not as good, but possible. And it keeps getting better. Good luck with that future.

Following layoff “because AI”: * 32.7% rehired 25% to 50% * 35.6% rehired 50%+ * 52.1% rehired within 6 months 🤡

The Bsky Particle client prototype works. * You can set time of snapshots, updates are taken at these times * Each accounts shows only once the most liked/commented card (and an indicator of all messages) * Reshares are split separate Try here: aisle-atproto-particle.netlify.app

I have been thinking for a long time that I don't want "realtime". I'm ok getting the information in discrete particles, not wavelengths. :P This evening I was on the tube and... wait, ATProto is quite open... so I don't need a full infrastructure... what if... So... I'm prototyping "Particle" :P

I find the emergence of the visual symbolism and language of the AI hype period fascinating. Has anyone written something on the subject yet?

Every manager out there needing validation for their ideas that used to force a UX Researcher to their will is now rejoicing! Nothing says good research more than a tool built to agree with you!

That noise you hear in the background is thousands of user researchers screaming in anguish

Fuck.

Technology expanded the impact radius and speed of stupidity much faster than intelligence.

This is also key of one of the struggles of neurodiverse people in organizations. So many doing a great job… and getting blindsided when “great work” isn’t enough.

The distortion of maps eh? @terriblemapshq.bsky.social I feel you can get ideas from this 😂

I think this list is going to be very useful to the right people.

It's 2026. Puberty blockers have been banned on the basis of a fake study conducted by a generalist paeditrician. Hormones for under 18s have been banned on the basis of a fake review conducted by a head injury specialist. Both remain available for cis kids because that's 'different' somehow

It’s even funnier that it was 23h only in USA and a few other countries, while 24h in most of the world… 😬

It’s fine you’ll grow into it. #kitten #cat #oversize #jumper #big

Never going back to this fascist shithole.

Rivers are living beings.

“To date, the company's tech has been deployed to identify activists, track abortion visits, stalk women, and reinforce racial profiling. Security issues further exacerbated privacy concerns after activists discovered Flock accidentally exposed live camera feeds on the internet.”

“The workers in Kenya say that it feels uncomfortable to go to work. They tell us about deeply private video clips, which appear to come straight out of Western homes, from people who use the glasses in their everyday lives.” www.svd.se/a/K8nrV4/met...

holy fuckin shit lmao a supply chain attack perpetrated by a prompt injection in a github ISSUE TITLE eh. coding agents? what could go wrong

I read this and my ICQ number popped into my brain. Well.

If the main reason you want people back working in your office is because you believe _serendipity makes the magic happen_ then… you’ve an org problem. People talking is people talking. Don’t force on all your personal preference for format(s) that feel best for _you_. Serendipity is just random.

I’m disappointed Italy. You should be at the top of the list! Letting France beat you :/ 😂

The faster package delivery got, the more likely it missed delivery. We went from packages delivered in a few days, to two days, to next day, to within the day... ...while we went from all packages delivered, to getting "we missed you!" and "you weren't at home!" more and more frequently.

It's endometriosis awareness month. Here are some illustrations, from Cécile Dormeau, that explains how it affects people in too many ways of the daily life, not just during periods. cecile-dormeau.tumblr.com/post/8100769... #endometriosis

Maybe we should all pick a random day, like April 2nd, log into our Xitter abandoned accounts and all write the same message: Get off Xitter. Then log out again forever.

hey, I just learned that @heyjane.com is hiring a full-time remote graphic designer! We are a telemedicine clinic focused on providing medication abortion, so if you think this is for you, check the position: jobs.lever.co/heyjane/a1a7...

How I arrived on Bluesky

I've been through so much technological change in my life this LLMs are the end of history stuff really gets to me. IT TOTALLY CHANGES DESIGN no it really doesn't. you're thinking of runaway financialization and gutting the public sector such that we've given up on improving material conditions.

Honestly iconic.

Agreed. Plus, if anything, I want LESS an SLOWER news, by people that took the time to think about it.

I want to be able to prove a thing, say the truth once, have it take hold in people's brains, and be done, and that is not how people are. We have to keep demonstrating the truth and restating it until it becomes unassailable. I don't know how many times that takes, but it's a lot more than once.

Spain showing some backbone aje.news/4xqusm

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work. This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public. Please spread the word. 🧵 1/4
