For everyone angry at Bluesky, a direct way we can help northsky is by tossing them a few bucks. They're all working multiple jobs trying to make this happen for us.

i am bewildered at the experience of my phone just...working 😵‍💫 i know this is what i set out to procure, but i am just so amazed that things work, aren't slow, and the battery isn't instantly dead 😵

nothing feels better than Not voting for gavin newsom

fucking insane to unplug my phone at 97%, start using it, and 20 minutes later still have 97%

bacc from apple hell with a brand new phone because they broke the screen when trying to replace the battery

Y'all have me needing to read a wiki to know what the fuck is even going on i'm never going to be in the club at this point

this sucks lol

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got - scam machine - psychosis inducing machine - weapons of mass destruction - button you push that makes the planet hotter - markets that intentionally starve people - clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time - medicine you can’t afford

also i don't wanna speak too soon but i might be getting some of my creativity back. done on a whim last night based on a mangled sample i created

anyway here's some fucking bullshit i recorded

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

i really want to just be a part of a group that doesn't want something from me other than to see me and have me around

where do i get a petition to force every rock drummer to learn how to play at normal volumes

i like how i have absolutely no ability to let myself have fun or be goofy anymore

when did i become the most miserable person i know

rock n roll, the genre where it is normal to barely sing or yell and have no in between, hit the ride cymbal too hard, turn your amps up throughout the night, and then wonder why the sound engineer seems pissed

would love mastodon recommendations

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Spotify has the WORST audio quality out of every other streaming platform It is also the most expensive They support Joe Rogan Apple and amazon let you upload your own files to the library. Tidal and Apple have spatial audio even on PC (need atmos+AC3) There is no reason to use spotify

also i don't wanna speak too soon but i might be getting some of my creativity back. done on a whim last night based on a mangled sample i created

not going to hold my breath but i did get an unprompted ask if basically i would be down to come assist on a friend's sessions at this studio... that can't be nothing

i've decided i need to smoke more

So… Łink’s account is permabanned from Bluesky’s appview, but also gets banned from: WhiteWind Skylight Bluescreen Flashes Basically all ATproto apps/projects? WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF THIS PROJECT THEN?

i love the domino effect of trans people asking the moderation team to take harassment of trans people seriously and instead decided to perma ban a black guy who was one of the earliest users here

It's also showing anyone who's actually interested in Bluesky as a Fediverse that the CEOs have a kill switch which essentially defeats the purpose.

It really makes me wonder what the value proposition of ATProto even is, if federation is more fragmented than Mastodon in practice, harder to set up than Mastodon, and if Bluesky the company is going to run the main instance as unprofessionally as a Mastodon instance owner on a power trip.

Bluesky was originally built to be an NFT marketplace, but when the NFT market collapsed they pivoted to microblogging. Jack was a fan of NFTs and the pivot angered him and he left the board. The at protocol, being built for NFT sales, is not adequate for social media, explaining performance issues

made another fucking loop i'm not sure if i'll ever use lmao

i love shaving my legs in the shower and immediately upon getting out finding a million hairs i missed

i'm a loser

knowing i am responsible for my own distress is just horrible

everything tells me it is my fault that i feel separate from all the good in the world

“you told all of your friends you told all of your friends you told all of your friends and no one came”

I'm not a particular fan of blocklists given all the prior and current abuse inherent in them, but Bsky can not say they are an option for composable moderation, and then block them when their favorite transphobes get angy about it.

god i HATE it when someone is like "you good to take a call?"

It's funny how open bigotry and doxing doesnt get you banned from here, but criticizing the devs/mods does🙄 Almost like the tos is meaningless, and all that matters is whether or not you kiss the ground the devs/mods walk on.

people who built bsky: -trans women (bsky protects jesse singal) -Black users (bsky allows rampant antiBlack racism) -SWers (bsky to implement hostile age verification in UK) -organizers and activists (bsky autodeletes anyone in gaza with a pulse) -artists (bsky dev says AI has rights lmao)

it sure does suck to be ace where nobody else is!!!
