Attack

Countless hours spent discussing, analyzing and experimenting with AI; even starting a podcast with
@gavinpurcell.bsky.social to help contextualize the space for a broad audience...

And yet, somehow, completely missing this.

Precisely! I fancy myself fairly generous with tips, but if you set a gratuity trap… big “no” from me.

Management should do better.

Yeah. No custom option in sight.

Mild Take: When a point of sale screen presents tips in a non-ascending order, it makes me want to hunt for the lesser value.

25% / 20% / 23% ?

Sneaky. And likely management’s doing. But feels predatory.

Bonus: Saw my first 30% / 25% / 27% today!

Inflations out here, turning all the stones…

me: maybe it’s time to phase out social media?

I’m somewhat of a “wetwork specialist” myself.

Basically Elon is so bad now, Zuck is looking like some sort of hero. And with all the API changes and rate-limiting, people actually trust Faceb— ugh, I mean “Meta”— again. But like, all the Mastadon and BlueSky dorks are whining about it being all brands and grind-set influencers overnight...

BlueSky Public Service Announcement:

You can tweak all your saucy-content settings from the https://bsky.app website directly.

Anyone have recommendations/experience with international airlines (say NYC to Portugal or Madrid) with regard to travel with small doggos?

Want to bring sweet Wesley for a trip, but it needs to be in cabin and preferably not for a 5k up-charge…

It’s, apparently still around?!

Loved me some Trillian, post ICQ.

ai. deeeeeeeeeeeep fake. reporting.

It’s wants me to buy a $1,000 “fixer upper” in Syracuse.

Reconnecting with my Twitter mutuals…

Noted!

Happy to have ya...

This cover of Papa Roach's Last Resort is tearing a family apart.

Weigh in. Or don't. Either way.

We're over here losing out mind... and our sight.

No shade to the cola here.

I’ve allowed an AI complete control over my web browser.

It has already (successfully) booked me a dinner reservation at a solid spot.

Now, I’ve tasked it to find me an incredible deal on a home in a safe and walkable area.

I’m less confident in this task. Albeit, still quite charmed.

I guess, we deserve this?

They should've sent a poet...

I fancied myself a fortunate someone with a handful of “real friends”.

Life comes at you pretty fast I guess…

*Nobody* told me of the Hi-Chew FANTASY MIX?!?

I’ve got to recalibrate some things. And update my living trust.

Confirming: Rainbow Sherbet is a GAME CHANGER.

Can’t be outdone by Elon.

BlueSky Feature Proposal:
SCROLL BOOTH

Friction subtly increases with every thumb flick, or X inches of feed traversed.

Eventually, the app grinds to a halt, requiring payment.

Can immediately backtrack on both length and payment, rather than think through in advance.

You’re a quick study.

Start researching Pickleball paddles for the end-game content.

I’ve been checked out since 2008. Highly recommend it.

Enjoy your quarter-day!

I asked GPT to write a story where animals, from house pets to insects, act as visual conduits for our ancestors.

The horror.

Will share on the pod this week.

And will never look at Dr. Wesley the same.

I’m delighted BlueSky is an option, but I really hope they’re open to all, and ready for the next influx.

I’m sure Uncle Elon will stub his billion-dollar-toes on the coffee table again, and it’d be great to have everyone be able to rally friends and followers for the next push…

Wesley agrees.

rate, limit?!

Hah. I know the experience will be largely similar, but, it just feels icky considering how they treated developers.
