big fan of electric bikes but I've never had to jailbreak a groupset to make a minor repair before 😐

my hot AI take is that regardless of how we feel about it, bailing out the big AI companies may be *necessary* to avoid long-term systemic harm to real people as always, the system acts too late to contain the blast radius

is something just broken today

this is what it means when people say "you need an adblocker to have a remotely functional web experience"

let me tell you the story of the first 25 seconds of this website 😖

the storm this morning was anger-of-the-gods stuff but here she is unbothered

help the algorithm is feeding me noita content again

I am pretty sure some of you are Australian

Imagine looking at a bird this gorgeous and calling it a “rat with wings” Couldn’t be me, I instead bring my camera to shopping centers for close-ups Thread of Rock Pigeon portraits:

out of all the moderation decisions I find the account-level ‘Rude’ to be most egregious it is definitionally subjective and you’re not going to see non-replies unless you follow most of the time, so what’s the *purpose*? if they’re actually a serial harasser why are they allowed to stay?

please stop talking over the mick gordon music video

openDesk is such a cool project because it's twelve open source tools in a trenchcoat

istg sony get to market do you have any idea how insufferable canon people are gonna be

look ma I'm on tv

that caira camera is creepy af

she's shy

there are too many chords

in preparation for what they’re saying is going to be the world’s largest IPO…

the economics group chat is melting down rn so I can only assume some of you did a socialism

beware of catholics bearing gunpowder

ok so you all just did baseball and now this is... basketball?

they heard "I get way more engagement on my site on <competitor>" so they're just torching the metric

it has been bucketing down but I just checked on her and she's a bit damp but sheltering in place

at the risk of labouring the moderation point, if one of the things holding back better user-led mod tools is the echoes of aegis - the team really needs to reckon with the idea a) all the tools that enabled aegis are still here and work, and b) somehow we have avoided v2 without their intervention

oh now we’re in trouble for taking branding seriously marketing is never happy

blaming lists for a lack of engagement will never not be funny this dude with 30 followers put me on a list with 10k other people *obviously* he wields the power on the platform

part of the problem with genAI is that literacy on both sides is so low that we have team 'AI because of <property of reality>' fighting team 'real because of <thing AI does>' real is a vibe

one day apple will release a podcast app that remembers episode progress, but today is not that day

AT service operators and moderation thinkers: I put together an early proposal around infra abuse notices across organizational boundaries. really looking for feedback on this one, it is bait for counter-proposals and references to prior work!

getting to my following feed cold is over 20mb in 231 requests, with the cdn only letting you get ~8 items at once on mobile data, that's often 20-30 seconds

he came out to say hello

ooh and a friend

good job [your team here] I always believed in [your team here]

This is a cool article, but I need to be a bit pedantic for a moment. In maths and sciences a “proof” has a very specific meaning and despite how vast these fields of study are there are few actual proofs. What’s discussed in the study isnt a proof, it is a theory at best.

sneaky boi

I came here because I was promised freedom from overbearing moderation and control over my own experience. this is the opposite of everything they've been saying the whole time!

this was like 10m later and it's neat (maybe only to me) how much it rotated based on me moving like... 2 meters?

look it compiles and it ends in .rs why are the rust nerds never happy

many such cases

they should take this out of experimental and make it default-on imo

math has declared war on computer

'algorithmic choice' doesn't mean a lot when people don't realise they're empowered to make it

at some point the "discover tab" language moved in, and it occurs to me that it's a direct commentary on how users actually use the site because tabs are an app navigation function I've never heard "science tab", which tells me feeds are 1% power user feature

sunsets are pretty

The C in C stands for Claude

tho for me I don't think I'm ever switching until there's a library management flow because 'scroll images to find one I like, quick touch-up, nah, revert & move on' is core to the workflow

Affinity being all one app now is huge but I really don't know if I trust Canva

on a cycle lasting approximately 30.4 days, some humans become acutely aware of the passage of time

this is a me problem, but it's interesting to see that 'sitting at computer' is so much worse for me than 'using phone' because I'm in that half-procrastinating state where I'm putting off going outdoors
