Sometimes something appears to be clean and *~elegant~* but the real best method is the "naive" approach. I encounter this a lot w/ toggles. If something switches between two states I have the impulse to always go state=!state, but sometimes it's better to just do setOn() and setOff()

It's summer on @davidsocial.com

been thinking about this all day

one normal ticket from Vancouver to Jasper please

lol

DS was down but now it is back up that is all

This has to be the worst emoji kitchen. It haunts me

Man bsky is on something else. What do you mean June 14th is Obama appreciation day

When you think about it making the defrag tool look like the meant it was probably someone at Microsoft's passion project

Happy pride from David Social! Unfortunately this year due to tariffs all pride sponsors are Canadian

y'all aren't living if you're not experiencing the advanced levels of posting on @davidsocial.com

If you're interested in the outage, Tech Streamerguy Theo t3 had a pretty decent crashout about google, especially with how it affected Railway today. Around ~14:20 here www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p33...

WE'RE BACK

lol @ the Railway discord

So much for railway metal btw lol apparently they are dependent on google cloud for some reason and GC has blocked their account. More reason for me to host DS on a raspberry pi in my own apartment (I would do this if I had the time in the day believ me (not on a raspberry pi tho (lol)))

There's a major outage with the web service used to host DS. Hopefully I'll be back online soon status.railway.com

ATTENTION CONTENT CONSUMERS: i need your vagueposts!! you know those TikToks/Reels that rely on hyperspecific context & are baffling/tantalizing without it? PLEASE send them to me when they cross your feed. i need examples for a video that comes out VERY SOON. you will be rewarded in heaven

Being against high speed rail is like being against the concept of planes or roads, it's such an insane position to me

I am happy to announce that Meta has not offered to buy David Social. No communications whatsoever have ever transpired between Meta and David Social and therefore no agreement or deal has or will be made about the ownership of David Social.

The thing about programming abstractions is that at the end of the day you're still programming

It's not appreciated enough how good the UX is for the Bank of Canada. Maybe I am just used to seeing exchange rates looking like geocities. We got monospace fonts, aesthetic colour palettes (not colourblind safe sadly) high contrast visibility, AND dark mode www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/exchan...

I exist in the negative space between Queer Leftist Artists & Shitposters, UK Trans Rights Activists, and Old School RuneScape Community

very interesting indeed

Even worse, they made the founder of David Social (257 followers on bluesky) angry. Adobe is backpedalling

OPEN SOURCE ADOBE ANIMATE @adobe.com !!!!!

Absolutely brutal I would buy one personally no need to do this dailyhive.com/vancouver/sk...

[nerd shit cw] I see people get really stoked about some tooling or software like Obsidian and I just can't accept it simply bc it's not open source, like sorry that is a show stopper for me. I'm not going to dedicate the time and mental resources to learn something that will collapse in N years

do people actually click the copilot/LLM buttons embedded in web browsers, PDF readers, microsoft office, start menu, <your app here>, or do they just go to chat gpt dot com when they want to use an LLM?

for some reason people are trying to login with the password "jk"

NEW FEATURE for the winter season ~*❄️ the snow now piles up on David Social

i <3 davidsocial more than any of these other fuckass sites

turns out you can be @dog on the internet

is anyone else on David. I'm sabrina_carpenter on there now

the best social media account is the davidsocial.com user “math”, who comments on my posts to tell me if they have anything to do with math

I never believed in the 'tortured' artist trope. Cause it's just not true. Miserable people don't make good art. But I also don't think spoiled people do either. When you're overcomforted, overloved, it's the same thing in reverse. You can't make good art without want.

Wellp I never thought I would see the day where Ronald Reagan would be considered anti-establishment

Historic: this is the 100,000th post on David Social

It's been 20 years but we're finally getting bugdom 2

This person is paying OpenAI two hundred dollars a month to have a chatbot gaslight them about making an excel spreadsheet

Got a Twilight theme on David Social to celebrate the season :)

I think it should be possible to work professionally on video games
