Hey @bsky.app - it'd be amazing if there was an "Add user to list" option under the 3 dot menu on a post. i.e. if I see someone posting an AI generated image, I want to add them to my "Posts AI Image Shite" list without having to go into my settings and adding them that way.

Of COURSE I've never seen the moon like that before, I've not been shot into space, spent 10 days in a capsule, and been slingshotted around an orbiting body...

Man, they ruined the cool space stuff stream by getting all religious... *sigh*

Does anyone else use the Discover and Whats Hot Classic feeds to find terms to add to their Muted Words list ? Or just me ?

Twitch: "Live channels we think you'd like" Me, looking at channels that have no relation AT ALL to anything I've ever watched on Twitch in the last 12+ years: "I did not, in fact, like any of them."

Having fun getting random retro computers on the internet. Here's my Amiga A600:

I have an irrational hate for installers that put an icon on your Desktop without asking for permission first. And the default should be "no" even if it DOES ask if you want one.

There's nothing quite like booting my iMac G3, loading up iTunes, and playing some music off my iPod Video through my HK Sound Sticks. All while fixing an Acorn A410/1 (I used to use them at school). Very nostalgic - makes me long for the days before the Internet was mainstream.

Just finished reading the Map Men book, and to be honest, I struggled with it. I like factual books like this, but the way in which some of the chapters are written is just not pleasant to read - do I want to read a faux podcast to explain a map ? No, not really.

Wondering if @aptshadow.bsky.social has started playing Slay the Spire 2 yet...

You know what would be a great use for "AI" ? Detecting and tagging posts on Bluesky to stop random "men showing their asshole" pictures showing up in my Discover feeds that haven't been tagged by the original poster. Even with NSFW posts disabled, they still show up cos they're not tagged !

People are fucking idiots.

I just experienced this from Gemini - I asked it about a picture, it said it was by an artist called "Peter Bone", which when I told it it was wrong and it said "To be direct with you: The name 'Peter Bone' isn't even a real artist in this style. I hallucinated that name." CHECK ALL "AI" OUTPUT.

They all do this. And it feels like a reflection on the humans behind them, whose inflated careers are built on never admitting they don’t know the answer. The ‘smartest people in the room’ if ‘smart’ just means glib and facile, turning out lies with complete conviction.

No, I don't want to "download the Shop app to track your order". You sent me an email, just put the fucking tracking number in that.

"BUT FAMILY VOTING !" Yeah, I doubt the ~32 instances of that would make up for the ~4000 vote difference. But you keep attempting to gaslight everyone hoping they'll believe you - this aint the US.

LOL - I said that Marathon was just Bungie taking Apex Legends and tacking on an extraction element. Apparently I'm wrong cos I'm not "diamond ranked" in Apex Legends. Alright mate, alright. Wind ya fucking neck in. It's literally just Apex Legends with extraction :P

"Can It Run DOOM" videos these days are so bad. "Can I run DOOM on this medical that has a Windows OS installed onto it ?" Yes, cos it has Windows installed... Obviously. Making random devices with custom OS's run DOOM is more interesting. Go run DOOM on a satellite, or on a thermostat.

@bsky.app needs to learn how to fucking do maths.

@tuana.dev your profile still says you work at Weaviate btw !

Sorry Bluesky, I'm not giving some random US company details to verify my age just so I can DM someone. Basically, you can fuck right off.

@birchography.bsky.social Check out micromacro-game.com/en/index.html games - much fun :)

Have an Amstrad CPC464, with an "active" scart cable plugged into OSSC, outputting to TV via HDMI. Image is all messed up (the dots scroll down to the bottom of the screen etc) and occasionally the image disappears for a few seconds... No amount of Vsync settings affect the picture. Any thoughts ?

Gonna start a petition to force Youtubers to remove the "🔴LIVE" part from titles of streams that are no longer live. The video's 3 days old, you know you aint live, but for a second there I THOUGHT YOU WERE.

Wow, streamer hot takes. It's so funny that people aren't allowed to like Expedition 33... "not liking turn based games is not a valid reason to hate a game". It's like when you make negative comments about Hunt: Showdown - apparently you're not allowed to !

No Meta, I aint fucking paying for Facebook access...

Is anyone else finding they're blocking a lot more shit these days ? People on social media, companies, youtube channels ? I feel like I'm constantly being force fed utter shite (mainly around US politics; I've never lived in the US or shown an interest...). I block maybe 10 YT channels daily...

I swear to god this guy has like 300 Youtube channels. His face is EVERYWHERE on my feed, and they're all different channel names.

If you're ever late for something (like a meeting), just use the excuse "sorry I'm late - personal reasons" and no one can question it any further. And if they try to, you can say you aren't telling them. Works every time !

I used the term "coffee table book" in a conversation earlier in the week, and the other person had no idea what I was talking about. Do you ?

Possibly the most badass I've felt in a game, and I did it by accident :P

Had a dream last night where I decided that you could determine how good a streaming service was based on how many episodes of "How It's Made" were available. I think that's a pretty good metric to use going forward. Netflix et al, get on it !

@ramtopretro.bsky.social Hey - just got an ELK128SD, no matter what card I use (size, FAT16 or FAT32), it always just shows Card? when I shift-break (even with your beeb.mmb file). The LED lights up showing it trying to read the SD. DABOUT shows correctly, it's on 1.54. Thoughts ?

"It'll invalidate your warranty if you hack it !" said the guy at CEX...

Fixed my Xbox 360, booted it up, IMMEDIATELY played I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES 1N IT!!!1 and smashed our old top score :P You can play it on Steam if you want store.steampowered.com/app/1800730/...

@play.date Why you so hard to get in the UK :(

Sounds like somewhere out of a British fantasy novel.

I can only assume Sonic lives here now ?

"A grumpy bookshop owner learns the true meaning of wealth with help from a clumsy parsnip."

A lot of problems disappear when you have a Dremel.

Youtube is funny. Watch one video about trains and YT's all like "HERE'S 9000 MORE TRAIN VIDEOS" so you watch one video on camping and YT pivots to "YOU WANT TO WATCH EVERY OTHER VIDEO FROM THIS PERSON NOW ?" It's like Amazon offering up another toilet seat once you've already bought one...

Holy moly, Google's Antigravity is actually pretty damn powerful.

This would be what you'd get if you told your slightly hard of hearing grandmother you wanted a "3ds" for Christmas. "oh, I thought you said ZEE not THREE !"

I've just written a 37 line long PostgreSQL query...

Hold up... why is my house in Diablo 4 ?

No Xbox, I will not be verifying my age. You can see I've had my Live account since ~2002 when it was created shortly after you launched Live.

Such a vibe - me too :)

I hope it's about the Intergalactic Social Services ;)

Why would ANYONE want Motion Blur enabled in anything ?!

I just paste the URL into Gemini and ask it to summarise the video for me. Makes watching longform videos so much easier and you get the info you want/need without having to watch 20 minutes of extra stuff, especially when it's made by a "rambly Youtuber" (you know the ones).
