X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

something very “enjoy the camps” about replying to this post with “don’t get too cocky in the current environment”

usually after I block I just resign them to the oubliette but that was a jaw-dropping level of callousness from a profile with cishet white Resist Mom energy

gratitude isn’t COCKY ffs

Two things are true:

1) The great man theory of history is hot garbage. There is no special magic boy who will fix or ruin everything For everyone else

2) You are irreplaceable. No one else can do the things you do the way you do them. You matter. The world would not be the same without you.

Hey now… not sure that’s really accurate.

Dairy paid good money for such a high profile on the pyramid, how can you call that “just made up”? 😆

A depiction of a Lego Star Wars instruction manual. Step 1 ask the user to place a brown cloak on the build surface and then to place a lightsaber hilt on the cloak. The caption for the finished product is “Obi-Wan Kenobi (Dead).”

I’m not sure who is responsible for this.

But they’re my kind of person.

** 2006-10-31: The default prefix used to be "sqlite_". But then ** Mcafee started using SQLite in their anti-virus product and it ** started putting files with the "sqlite" name in the c:/temp folder. ** This annoyed many windows users. Those users would then do a ** Google search for "sqlite", find the telephone numbers of the ** developers and call to wake them up at night and complain. ** For this reason, the default name prefix is changed to be "sqlite" ** spelled backwards. So the temp files are still identified, but ** anybody smart enough to figure out the code is also likely smart ** enough to know that calling the developer will not help get rid ** of the file. */ #ifndef SQLITE_TEMP_FILE_PREFIX # define SQLITE_TEMP_FILE_PREFIX "etilqs_" #endif

insane lore inside SQLite's source code
