does bluesky have downtime because of vibecoding? hmm, unlikely. is it funny that bluesky seems to have more downtime the more smug and defensive their devs get about how great vibecoding is? extremely so

I think the reality is not an absolute. Is all of the code AI generated? no. Do they have NO idea what's going on? no. Does AI generated code nobody has a mental of model about make debugging harder? Yes. Is AI log analysis/ops help often misleading? Also yes. AI makes fixing this stuff harder.

responding ”vibe code?” to every outage like women named carol respond “vaxx?” to every celebrity death

Maybe forcing people to build their creative careers on private online infrastructure that can and does collapse semi-regularly wasn't the best of ideas actually

"Users don't care about nines"—Turns out users do care about nines when we're talking the difference between one and two of them

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr 1. barely works 2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate) 3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

Counterpoint: I use em dashes with abandon and will not let "AI" steal them from me. I was overusing them first and will continue to do so long after "AI" is a crater in our financial system, or our merciless overlords, or both

why would you give a medieval peasant a dorito when you could instead give him a 13/16 time signature with Starless by timeless English prog rock band King Crimson

I'm sure there's an ample collection of site reliability professionals who are also posters and that those individuals would be happy to lend a hand in order to restore service and work through the extended remediation process.

as well as the transphobic shite, and the inescapable comparison to "separate but equal" racial segregation unless the ward doesn't allow male staff (which they ALL DO), it *is not* a "single sex space" under any definition. this is true for mental health wards too, as well as prisons.

nothing online works for shit anymore. everybody who knows how to work computer is unemployed. we are stuck with these losers shooting up peptides while they vibecode their claude dongle

That said “Jews are just white people with a different religion” becoming a mainstream belief is a major success on the part of the American Reform movement I guess

Personally, the bare minimum for me to consider a person a leftist is agreeing that capitalism is not a viable system and must be abolished immediately. If you think there is a version of the current system that can work, you are not a leftist. It's a super easy, clean line to work with.

As a reminder, ai cannot have the em dash

“Vote blue unless Nazi tattoo.”

I don't care if they're banging rocks together to code it, ops is hard, incidents are hard, shut the fuck up and be kind

90s & 2000s Internet culture was filled w/ ppl playing w/ the idea that 90% of reality is perception & that thus if you alter perception, you change the world. Lotta good people & interesting work came from those waters, but so did misanthrope edgelords like thiel, weev, andreessen, yarvin, land, &c

Dang, y'alls site went down? Thats wild. Blacksky was fine this morning. Not a peep.

Unironically RT'ing Stancil onto my timeline is an instant unfollow, sorry I don't make the rules

Mostly Hitler is still a lot of Hitler.

Btw “armed bulldozers” kind of gives the whole project away, doesn’t it?

Me: I feel like I use THC to run from my problems. It's what I reach for when I'm overwhelmed and just need to listen to a record. It's really become a crutch. My shrink, rubbing the bridge of his nose: Every month you complain that the weed we prescribed for your anxiety is working.

Our two microblogging sites are the "relitigate Hitler" site and the "relitigate Stalin" site. One wonders what they're doing over on Threads.

i think everybody who wasn't an adult in 2006 is unprepared for how fast and how totally they're going to pretend trump never existed

Platner: has Nazi tattoo Libs: but he's such a great guy! Platner: blames women for their SA Libs: but he's such a great guy! Platner: uses homophobic slurs Libs: but he's such a great guy! Platner: says the R-word Libs: but he's such a great guy! And libs wonder why leftists hate them

Constantly backing up the Nazi tattoo with Nazi ideology

Oops! All AI companies!

Graham Platner is an antisemitic, ableist piece of shit and so is anyone who supports him.

For some folks, history is a fun story book they can fantasize about, and for others it's a pretty concrete explanation of why the village your ancestors came from no longer appears on maps.

When Jews across the world still have empty spots at their holiday tables because their family members were massacred and never had the children and grandchildren that would have filled those seats yeah, WWII is fucking modern.

just one more apology the culture owes to eddie vedder

Eddie Vedder led us to freedom

And then they post this, which is just a world-class fuck-up of a follow-up.

Said in a non-derogatory manner. You can safely block everyone liking this post.

I love hyping people up. I have the most incredible cheerleader for everything I do in my spouse and I want to be that for other people.

the fact that everyone is talking about recession indicators is the ultimate recession indicator

...i imagine this also happens to people who stay up on the ISS for long periods. Because you're never having to focus on anything more than ~20 feet away from you. Eye muscles can get out of shape just like other muscles.
