Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

good morning bluesky friends ❤️

a 800-day weekend could fix me

just that period reminder that content posted to Bluesky is public to *anybody*. if you don't want to see it used in a court of law, don't post it here.

and DMs here are not E2EE, they can be subpoened. a great use for bsky DMs is to share secure comms and move the conversation there.

good thing tomorrow is friday

y'all ever been so locked in that you program without music? I just did
I had an idea and needed to pause my music and I was locked the fuck in

I mean I have a headache now but I did get shit done lolol

(I should have studied for the exam I habe tomorrow)

It is 2023. People are on Bluesky talking about how Bluesky is dying

It is 2024. People are on Bluesky talking about how Bluesky is dying

It is 2025. People are on Bluesky talking about how Bluesky is dying

If I was in charge of making laws I would only do good ones

It makes me think: maybe simplicity isn’t the absence of complexity. Maybe it’s the successful concealment of it.

I think about bananas a lot.

Where I’m from, they don’t grow. Yet they’ve been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember.

But they don’t grow here. They’re imported from tropical countries. Cut off the imports, and suddenly, no more bananas in my life. Just like that.

I'm #4 on Hacker News right now!

Ok my called shot: we should think about an ATproto App Store.

1. DMA affords alternative App Stores in the EU.
2. ATproto apps can provide other types of guarantees to users.

Where can users learn about apps? Nowhere right now.

deepseek asking me if *im* human, i dont even know any more

It's so cool!!

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

where's waldo, never how is waldo, why is waldo hiding, what does waldo know, WHO IS WALDO

vampires can't use face id and i think that's sad

ok i give up why does an italian car manufacturer need its own currency

ooogh I love you jailbroken 3DS XL I love you so much jailbroken 3DS XL that can hold basically my entire NES, Genesis, SNES, GBC, GBA, and DS libraries all on a portion of a 32gb SD card

Having stoners answer customer service calls is so effective. My grocery delivery got stolen (so I'm mad) so I called the store & some dude was like "Seriously? Damn, what the fuck" and I was like "Right? Dude, I know" and he's like "Fuck dude, let me get this fixed" and I was like "Bro, thank you."

Piracy is *not* killing the entertainment industry!

"Piracy" is boarding a ship & stealing the cargo, maybe killing some crew. (Get a dictionary or something.)

I think there should be a discover that shows you what you just looked at before you accidentally refreshed

I love the fact that as a society we got so frustrated in connecting printers to our computers, trying to do Wi-Fi printing, dealing with the rising cost of printer ink, error codes, and paper jams that we just said fuck it we're not going to print shit out any more.

PARK RANGER: to be a guide you need to be able to name all the animals

ME: no problem

[later with a tour group]

ME: that’s Greg, & that's Sydney…

can anyone who's good at weekdays tell me if tomorrow is friday

flash drives are so big for so cheap nowadays that it actually fucks me up. i don't want to put a single text file on a 128gb stick. it's too big. the file is going to get all rattled around and dinged up if i leave it in there by itself

we put lightning in a rock and made it do math but sure… “magic doesn’t exist”.
