Stuart P. Bentley: Legacy

(sweats in profile pic)

This is from one of the Gauntlet games, right?

I waited tables in a couple of restaurants and I can say with confidence that from now on the Supreme Court justices who eviscerated abortion rights, gay rights and student debt relief should probably not think too hard about how their meals were handled on the way to their table.

Great overview of why blocks are public on Bluesky from @eepy.bsky.social -

Did you see the Black Mirror episode "White Christmas"? This is kind of one of the central themes

Unsatisfactory, but correct!

Bluesky is an experiment in what happens if instead of a company making editorial decisions about algorithms & content moderation, users could choose their own adventure.

The problem is users have expectations and explaining they’re lab rats in an experiment is an unsatisfactory answer.

I guess I should probably start using this app more huh

What'd be the best way to reach you out-of-band from here?

I've been wanting to reach out to you about doing this for a while, but it feels weird to be like "hey! I'm an internet stranger, would you like to do a podcast"

I declare everything in the world around me to be tremendously old-fashioned. I am dismissed in my time, but heralded as a visionary after my death.

My reaction to this

at some point I'm going to write a whole cyberpunk novel about a future where the smartphone industry has collapsed, and the tech sector controls the masses through technology embedded in their toilets

I should add a screen where you can define the purr settings for the particular cat being emulated

This is from a while ago and iirc I only ever got it to work on Android, but: https://kit10.pet/

Hey everybody! I am looking for work. could somebody please hire me, I'll do programming, I'll do technical writing, I'll do comedy writing, I'll do anything just please somebody I need money to live

The piano. It was being thrown by a medieval siege weapon

Have you seen Going Deep with David Rees? That's like approximately the level of detail and depth I'd want to get into

let me know if you might like to do a podcast on this sometime, I've been wanting to do a series called "Stuart Explains The Joke" for years (the first episode would cover E.B. White's "Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but the frog dies in the process.")

I might catch the next one

I have only the wisest memes

I was gonna ask if anyone here's been watching the last couple seasons of Doom Patrol

How I Accidentally Ruined Bluesky With Pictures of Sexy Alf Yeah, it was me. And I haven't had this much fun on the Internet in years.

Wondering why Bluesky is overrun with sexy Alf?

It’s my fault - and I wrote about how Fuck Alf, and all of you on this cursed social network, have restored my love for posting.
