For whoever needs to hear it? These are transferable skills.

In Ireland we grow up learning about how in the Dark Ages pilgrims would travel here from all over Europe to read books that had been saved here while they were lost elsewhere & I think we need to get our politicians to think like this about things like Basic Income. A light for the darkening world.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

Working on my horror script again for the Mark Duplass Trans Filmmaker grant application - I forgot how nice it was to work on something that I'm excited about rather then dealing with the shitiness of the world.

I still see tweets I made show up as memes all the damn time.

The more I read the responses by BlueSky's dev team, the more annoyed I am about the ways that they've squandered the promise of what this site could be.

A resident of a nearby building asks a very important question:

“You claim you have warrants, but do you have a warrant to seize the entire building?” she asked the agents. “Do you have warrants to detain the entire building?”

Or: do people lose their rights if they live near undocumented people?

OMG babes, alt text, please. Y'all are killing it with some of these jokes and screenshots, but not everyone can join in on the fun.

Bluesky's lack of a coms team does indeed give us some of these funny moments such as:

"You're aware that you are ostensibly speaking for the company with the current role you have and the subject matter you're wading into, right?

what?"

Glad to see this gaining traction. The implications here are terrifying.

My least favorite IT dept help interaction is when I submit a ticket with a detailed description of the problem, my steps in trying to solve it (including restarting), and screenshots to support my claims, then get a response asking me things I already answered and "did you restart"?

A Colorado restaurant is helping out furloughed government workers! The special runs from October 6-10th, 11 AM through 2 PM. Furloughed workers get a free sandwich with a side or salad with a protein, plus one free beverage (including beer and wine!).

prologue and first chapter are up now! meet the protagonist of my epic fantasy: the saddest grad student on earth 😂

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

Banning controversy reveals Bluesky’s federation isn’t there yet Bluesky’s protocol is so complicated that not even the biggest alternative network has figured out how to become independent

“Bluesky claims to want decentralization and composable moderation, but they still enjoy abusing the power of arbitrary banishment.” - Link

Fuck yeah

Two birds with one stone.

Both Bari and MattY quit their jobs and pretended they were fired so they could promote their substacks. Neither have ever been cancelled or interesting

kinda crazy how every single “just give people enough money to afford some basic stuff” experiments yield the exact same positive results that everyone benefits from every time, huh

Anyway, back to toiling

Everyone get in here, we're going real spooky goblin mode

also a more general point about this:

I'm starting to lose respect for tech people who have to run around being condescending about people who don't understand the various nuances of machine learning.

It frustrates me, too! But I also recognize where the blame for this mass societal confusion lies

"but it's everywhere now so we just have to accept it's the new reality" motherfucker we can just stop putting it everywhere! we did it with asbestos and CFCs and lead-based paint or petrol and make-up with arsenic in it! if everyone is using something and it's bad, we can choose to stop!

I am suddenly reminded about an article I read about how cops found Leftist groups too hard to infiltrate because they require too much reading.

At this point, Gav is actively vetoing legislation supported by the majority of Californians. This is the guy these "vote blue no matter who" weirdos want. The guy who ignores most of his constituents to cuddle up with the outliers who are never going to fucking vote for him anyway.
