I like capitalism but I don’t like that every single airport forces you to walk through an IKEA style maze mall with duty free perfume and alcohol

Brussels is amazing

Assuming I retire at 70 years old, this is my progress so far since my first day of work in 2016

My ex’s standard outfit was a black top, jeans and her hair put up in a tight bun. So now in summertime Stockholm, I think I see her from behind about 2000 times per day

Stockholm 5/13 never forget

❤️this vibe

I love Bluesky because when I copy paste this tweet, it appears like this in Bluesky: Twitter and LinkedIn should automatically ban people that start paragraphs with emojis

Great paragraphs from AstralCodexTen

The quality people that are joining every day here is nuts. I love twitter but I can see how this will likely take over and I’m here for it.

Friends with benefits or enemies with drawbacks?

Recent dating app observations: - very hot girls rarely have interesting stuff on their hinge profiles = harder to come up with what to write - a lot of pictures of women holding cakes with strawberries on - intense wealth signalling (expensive clothes and environments, e.g. private planes etc)

Trying Nostr and seeing the entire feed is laser eyes = the app will go the same way as btc, i.e. to zero

Hey buddy how about we keep things nice and civil around here eh

Mindblowing that this social network has got more than 100 users despite not having NFT avatars

I'm gonna call them puffs — re-puffs and quote-puffs

The only moderation option I want on here

I frequently get confused about whether I have bluesky or twitter open while scrolling down the timeline

Conference badges should be hanging as far up as possible - preferably right under people’s chins and the name and company should be in 400pt font. Surreptitiously glancing down at someone’s name is a lot more awkward if it looks like you’re looking at their crotch

I will happily sit in a train for two extra hours to avoid having to sit in a car for 30min going to or from an airport. Flying isn’t just shit for the environment, it’s also just a worse experience

The only way I know to keep track of how many users bluesky has so far is to go to my followers, find the ones I don’t know (who just follow literally everyone) and check how many people they follow. Currently ~33k

Social network in their early stages before that have ads are so nice. BeReal is also still lovely, feels so pure and innocent, like the internet before it got monetised

Every single thing that has been added to twitter since the acquisition has been deeply, profoundly stupid and ugly. So keen for bluesky to be taking over from here.

I love y’all but I want invites to add my friends on here too :(

Ordinary People Memes on instagram is such a vibe, one of my fave follows

Either we get to see the first interplanetary colonisation spaceship launch successfully today, or we get to see it blow up. Interesting either way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5QXreqOrTA

I have to say this was not the content filtering I expected, but it's welcome nonetheless

You are not inferior to anyone. Good night. I love you. See you in the morning.

Do you get more invites quicker if you poast loads and loads?

didn't we solve good image upload cropping tools in the 00's?

its me hi im the problem its me

I think LinkedIn has the deepest moat of all social media network. No one wants to be there to start off with, so why would anyone make any effort to go to a new one? People join a social networks cause it seems cool or useful, not because it sucks less

Beware of trillion dimensional spaces

Fascinating and compelling talk. He very outright says that the base GPT-4 model was significantly better and more intelligent than the RLHF version we have access to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbIk7-JPB2c

rat == rationalist. decades-old subculture centered around a few websites (lessWrong, overcoming bias, slate star codex) tpot == twitter social scene which emerged in the past few years. Conceptually adjacent to rationalism in some ways. Significant population overlap

My one wish for bsky is that it takes off in the Nordics also and isn’t as US focused as twitter

Where do my likes end up?

Who will be the @dril of Bsky?

Spotting the guy your ex is dating for the first time after a breakup is a bottom five human experience

I think there’s a 30%+ chance that Bluesky kills twitter. Same UI, domain names as verification, great seed start ti the social graph and Elon Musk isn’t dominating the timeline with shitty boomer memes.

I love the verification using domain names, it’s brilliant and simple.

The first few breaths of a new social network are always so exciting. All the potential is there and none of the horrific downsides have shown themselves yet
