ricchan is cute

Every time someone tells me that interoperable protocols are too complicated for the average person, I point out that they use email and the web. The goal needs to be to get atproto to the point that it is just "how the internet works" and the details fade into the background like https & smtp.

The reason I prefer to use Bluesky on my phone is probably because of the haptics. It's subconscious I think

Thinking about that Super Mario Bros Super Show episode where Mario is unconscious and the others have to work with cave toads to make a pizza to rouse him

I refuse to use centralized social media platforms. It's why I haven't touched my Tumblr since Ritsuko's birthday last year The last thing I did was scheduling another birthday post. Yes, that's its only purpose now, to celebrate the birthday of the best girl

My take on the "explaining atproto" discourse is that all the UX/filesystem/etc metaphors are still very verbose and that you can explain the same idea in a lot less words: It separates data from apps, so any app can use data from any other app. That fits in a tweet, with other sentences around it.

Decentralization is not about servers. It’s about power.

Happy Birthday Kusuda Aina! 🎂💜 #楠田亜衣奈生誕祭2026

We are stanning Ricchan in the year of our kami 2026

When this launches to production, something to keep in mind is your private data will be separate Mutes (NOT blocks), bookmarks, etc will be specific to the app you use Someone muted on bsky won’t be muted when using the Blacksky app Blacksky bookmarks won’t be bookmarked when you are using bsky

Bluesky runs an appview. Blacksky runs an appview. A complete appview is a several terabytes sized database of the >18 billion follows, likes and posts of all bsky users, ever and forever. To run a different appview is to make a fork in bsky’s timeline. One has new posts from Łink. One doesn’t.

Bluesky moderation is well known for not liking death threats I don't know why people keep acting surprised

When I was younger many of the things I'm doing now seemed out of reach. I wonder if I'll be able to do things in the future that seem out of reach now

Just now learning someone sent in an image for the Ritsuko Image Bot on the 5th. I'm very sorry for the delay, I didn't see the notif for some reason. Should be its next post!

*old man voice* the youths don't know the pain of migrating to your own PDS before PDS MOOver

New from me: FR#150 – On ICE, Verification, and Presence As Harm Bluesky's decision to verify ICE's account shows that it not set up well to deal with threats where the presence itself is the harm connectedplaces.online/reports/fr15...

Spent some time to organize some loose CDs and DVDs into a binder. I have too many discs lol

This is the 10,000th post by the Yukiho Image Bot. That's a lot of Yukiho y'know

this is the peak of ACNH modding

Windows Vista update observation: installing any update that changes the build number to 6003 (including the BlueKeep update) will break Windows Update and it won't offer most updates anymore

google appears to be deprecating/shutting down the tenor GIF API, based on this email I received this could potentially impact any application that deals with tenor GIF uploads or has a GIF picker widget

PSA: If you get a Discord message from someone named Chuckster, DO NOT REPLY! They will claim to help you get the Shine Sprite, but in reality they will just throw you into the abyss.

Ritsuko Akizuki tbh

If you're saying "Fuck JK Rowling" and "stop keeping Harry Potter culturally relevant through fandom or funding" then you should drop FNAF too. Scott Cawthon is a Christian Conservative who uses his wealth to donate to republicans, including Trump and Mitch McConnell. www.axios.com/2021/06/15/f...

There's so much marketing hype; all the hype and some of the hate are often doing the same work of avoiding talking about its biggest dangers. I'm sick of AI bullshit everywhere, afraid of its worst applications, and also disillusioned with the way it's being talked about in many of my circles.

tl;dr on this one the loudest AI criticisms are the ones that serve existing power structures, and yet its most serious harms are the ones that don't.

Like, I often hear "plagiarism machine that's killing the planet" but I'm very convinced that the copyright panic is actually *harming* artists far more than helping them. Strengthening Disney and Getty's IP rights in the name of "protecting artists" is a very bad thing, I think!

In a strange position where I think there are massive, massive social harms to the proliferation of AI (misinfo, deepfakes, predatory 'companions', surveillance, labour rights) but also feel the mainstream arguments against it range from unconvincing (water) to actively harmful (copyright; "soul")

I managed to complete this year's resolutions, with the exception of stanning Ritsuko Akizuki, as that task cannot ever be truly considered done. The stanning shall continue into 2026

Time for my big year end blogpost about the Atmosphere. From the personal computing perspective, the cloud has been a disaster — but we shouldn't run away from it. We can solve a lot of problems by connecting our clouds, turning it into atmospheric computing.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 💙❤️ #如月千早 #天海春香

A lot of people on here love attention but I'm the opposite; the more eyes on me the less I want to post

I think there are lots of good arguments against AI usage but "its so easy to make art" isn't an honest one. It's not easy. It takes time and energy and sometimes uncomfortable feelings to turn something bad into something good. And people who can push past that to make art regularly are not common.

money kind of ruin the world actually
