Worth always keeping in mind that the Guardian has a commercial partnership with OpenAI, so nothing it writes about AI can be trusted

My employer’s remote work policies are changing, and Salt Lake City isn’t “commutable distance” from Boston, so I’m looking for a new job. If you’re hiring software developers to work on something that’s prosocial and technically ambitious, DM me, or check my website for my email.

Boy that took even shorter than I thought. No to online id verification

A committee of tribal members named the place tooromakma hinse nii (pronounced toe row mock ma hēēn say knee), which, in the Mutsun language, means “bobcats wander here.”

given our ceo is having a hissy fit and being mean to the userbase, now is a good time to include this in your reviews of the app

Burger Becky, a trans elder in game development, was recently diagnosed with cancer. When she sets up the inevitable fundraiser to help pay for treatment i hope people will consider giving.

🥺 Bluesky can you help a trans girl out?

If you violate the due process rights of immigrants, you violate the due process rights of citizens. Without due process, you can’t validate in advance that a person is an immigrant or not. What we do to our fellows we do to ourselves

i have long believed that getting ultra- famous freezes your development of maturity at wherever you were when you became famous. michael jackson was 11 years old his entire life. taylor swift will always be 17

we used to explode people's cars with hammers for saying things like that

So I'd like to show a demonstration of what this "waffles" thing is. Here's a conversation between *this site's* CEO, some random guy, and the cofounder of "Tangled", a GitHub clone built on top of Bluesky's protocol. Please take a moment to really think, about the shape of this thoughtlessness.

recently i got obsessed with pokemon again and by extension i'm thinking about making fakemons so for the month of october i'm gonna try to draw one (1) fakemon per day first we have some pillbug strongman you'd probably find in route 1

People ought to be “more” careful with their “use” of “quotes.” It can “be” very “con”fusing.

i think people often make the mistake of thinking that rightwingers meltdown at different things like netflix not because they want the approval of mass culture, but they actually just want total top down control of the flow of information

its so endearing to me that birch trees have eyes

bsky staff is a bunch of democrats (derogatory)

people like this believe they can solve intractable problems of power and trust by building perfect systems. the hope is that the system will make the hard decisions for them. leadership doesn’t work that way

CEO: we're all trying to improve this place You: so you're gonna kick out the guy who keeps trying to kill me, right CEO: You: You're gonna kick out the guy who has literally helped kiwifarms target me personally, right CEO: WAFFLES

Remember when Ted Cruz told Democrats in the Senate they need to “stop attacking pedophiles”? His team claim it was a “blunder” & yet Mike Johnson is currently protecting pedophiles He’s refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, a Democrat who would be the deciding vote in releasing the Epstein files

Hello hello! I'm Prisma, an eternally oc-obsessed artist! I love my own very much but I also find myself infatuated with my friends' ocs as well (the last illustration is the paired ocs of two friends of mine) and I love doing Artfight and other art trading events to share the oc love 💕

honestly it was pretty funny when the right was pretending that charlie kirk was a revolutionary civil rights leader when his whole deal was barely winning arguments with children

If eight of my artist/games/writer friends could make $100,000 a year it would be completely life changing for every single one of them. It's hard to overstate how infuriating and inhumane this feels "lol"

I'm sorry did covid cook everyone's brains and stuff. why are so many people falling for the "those damn transfems yelling at dana terrace" thing as if it was a large conceited effort to get the entire show cancelled. no. it was like 12 screenshots. there weren't even 50 quotes on the inciting post

Seems like a bad time to post this but is there ever a good time? Just putting it out there that my current contract ends in the middle of November and I'll once again be looking for work as a character rigger/technical artist in games. I have a wealth of experience. 13+ years. Remote only please❤️

not to point at anyone in particular, but I have been in and on many different internet communities of various shapes/sizes/technologies and one mistake I consistently see made is assuming the technical part of running a community is the hard part. it's not. it's the social part. it's moderation.

it’s really good when “technology of the future” treats you leaving as if you were leaving a cult

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

your core users are people who have already demonstrated a willingness to abandon a more popular social media site for another, in the most part for disliking the politics of the people who run it. write this on a big whiteboard somewhere in the office
