not everything is a tech problem

more technologists should ask themselves “does this need to be solved with an app” before embarking on Building

We’ve come full circle 😂🤦‍♀️

Does MetaAI need agreement from both(all) parties in a conversation in order to read a chat? Or can a single member share everyone else's comments with it?

Only alternative is that there is an explosion in innovation powered by the new tech, which will create enough new jobs to fill void. However, world is already advancing too quick for many (cf social media), so an even faster acceleration will disorientate most people.

In short: Capitalism is on a path to succeed to the point that it no longer benefits the overwhelming majority of the population. Either we prepare for that (UBI), or we’ll see mass unrest in society. And we currently seem very bad at preparing for things.

Dear Prime member, we have great news! We're adding advertisements to Prime Video starting January 29th! Even greater news, you can pay us an additional $2.99 to remove them. This ensures our management can afford yachts which can't fit under any bridges. Material excess for the win!

Hahaha. Our mobile network is, seemingly, down so I went to report the problem. Reporting it requires logging in. Logging in requires a 2fa SMS. SMS requires a mobile network. Ooops. Well done @odidonederland.bsky.social on ensuring they will never hear about network issues 😂

😂😬

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

Congrats to SpaceLogistics and Intelsat for the successful completion of the first commercial satellite life extension mission!

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

For veterans of the Eurozone crisis, this is quite incredible - today Greece has a lower borrowing cost than both the UK and the US for their 10 year bonds. I had to check, all of the previous so called 'PIIGS' (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) have lower borrowing costs than the US today.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

I was chatting with my math teacher wife and she was explaining that in statistics the bigger the sample size, the better your averages. Basically, the N justifies the means. #dadjoke #badjoke #funny #dadlife

Took the shell off my racing snail this weekend. Thought it might speed him up. If anything, it made him more sluggish.

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane. Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

So Daffy Duck finished shopping. At the checkout he asked for a carrier bag. The checkout girl said, “Shall I put it on your bill?” Daffy replied, “Don’t be thupid. I could thuffocate.”

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have developed a nasal COVID-19 vaccine that BLOCKS transmission of the virus. This suggests vaccines delivered directly to the nose or mouth could play a CRITICAL role in containing the spread of respiratory infections. Phase I clinical trials HAVE BEEN APPROVED! 🧪🧵⬇️

I do appreciate the #DHL seasonal loading graphics in the app. It's a small touch but definitely brings a smile to my face. Good job devs.

Future Astronaut, @LewisHamilton?! Did you know the @F1 superstar is not only a 7 time world champion, he's also very passionate about space! Enjoy this super fun convo with a legend! Thanks @IWC, @MercedesAMGF1 and @slickf16! #lewishamilton - https://t.co/cXYksXBKQj

Today’s poem is called ‘Brie Encounter’. Sorry about this one.

Anyone have any good Space people to follow here? Most of the folk I followed on Twitter don't have a blue-sky presence and I rather miss all the space related gossip.

The thing that would most make blue-sky better would be if it showed the tweet? cloud? post that was being replied to as well as the reposted replies. Having to click through almost every post in my timeline to understand what it refers to is super irritating.
