What's that you say? Bluesky crossed a few hundred thousand users and immediately started having moderation issues? You don't say! Who could have possibly predicted? etc.
Dear everybody on #Twitter looking at #Bluesky please please come over to the federated social web first, already proven to work for millions of people without millions of $$ in capital. I'll personally help you get set up please reach out.
The irony is many hold him up to be the example of de-transitioning not realizing the only thing he is wanting de-transitioning from is his excessive cosmetic surgery addiction.
One reason I like working at startups is
you get to wear many hats.
Of course,
by "wear many hats" I really mean
"suffer occasional periods of extreme stress when things fail
and there are no grownups you can go to for help".
I like to think of it as Extreme Learning.
I was in one of those interminably dull video-conferences a few weeks ago. The presenter was pitching their grand vision of what our next steps should be.
"So!" They said, "Any comments before we …
Rishi Sunak, "We just launched a campaign in Silicon Valley just talking about our companies and what they are doing.. The campaign is called Unicorn Kingdom."
paying $12/year for a domain so you can do a silly little joke with your username on bsky is way better and funnier than spending $8/month so everyone can watch you gargle musk's balls every time you post
The rings are incidents, the arcs are links to the folks collaborating on it. It's particularly cool seeing some of the the clear London <-> NYC <-> SF teams stand out and the impact of remote work, too. Many incidents involve people from all over.
Joined our @incident_io hackathon yesterday and attempted to visualise incidents happening on our platform around the world, along with their participants — pretty cool! 🌎🚨🔥
Coventry Amazon workers in @GMB_union are on the verge of winning union recognition after recruiting 700 members 💪🏽🚩
This would be the first time Amazon UK has been forced to recognise a union.
Well done to the organisers! Next step: £15 an hour ✊🏽
Society: “autistic people are so rigid and never consider others”.
Autistic me: *habitually sacrifices my wants, needs, preferences and methodologies, and hides a huge and important part of my identity - to the detriment of my own health - to make other people feel comfortable*.
Based on the replies to this tweet, I've compiled a nice 32 bracket single elimination bracket of all the shit we've been served since the purchase of Twitter. Each day I'll make a new poll with citations and let the public decide. The seeding was random, the results? Who knows!?
Post details
what is *the* dumbest thing elon has done at twitter so far?
For those who trust me:
Goto your Amazon account, sign out of all your devices, everything, everywhere all your Echos (yes I know it's a pain), reset your password, delete 2FA and any tokens and reset them. Now.
That doesn't include Fido / Yubikeys but does include Auth tokens.
Do it now.
As much a pain as it is to reset Echo and all smart devices, trust me, please do it.
I can't tell you more yet, but I am being ethical and you need to actually realise I have a clue.
It's been a scary day
“Oh shit, we’ve got no plan. We haven’t thought about it. I didn’t think it would happen. Holy crap, what will we do?”
A quote attributed to Boris Johnson on the morning after Leave won the EU referendum, from Seldon and Newell’s new book on Johnson.
BREAKING: Elon Musk has allegedly revealed a secret alt account where he pretends to be a child version of himself posting a lot of bizarre sexual content
You know what a healthy relationship is? I got a haircut yesterday and my barber said he was *thrilled* that I came in because he saw me on my TikTok live stream earlier that morning and said my hair was looking pretty rough and he was gonna text me 😬
I often tell people that it's better to rest and recover, than to push through, heal slower and/or do work you aren't proud of.
Practicing what I preach today. My body wins this round, but after a day's rest I reckon I'll be back to full form tomorrow.
Never feel guilty for not being well friends :blobfoxheartcute:
So how does Mastodon pay its engineers?
Mostly...it doesn't. Eugen and Claire are the only paid devs on Mastodon.
Everyone else is making updates *for free*, as a hobby, on the side, after their day job.
People are building CalcKey for free. People are building just about every fediverse product for free, as part of the open source community.
It was particularly amusing when Elon said he wanted to open source the algorithm--
Jack Dorsey saying he wanted to create an open source protocol--
Nearly all of the Fediverse is open source. The algorithms are already open source. The protocol is a W3C standard (ActivityPub) just like HTML.
The future these dopes have been trying to build already exists.
There's just no money or power in it for them, so they have no interest and pretend it doesn't exist.
Jack Dorsey enthusiastically co-signed the deal that betrayed 200 million Twitter users and handed their accounts over to a fucking right wing egomaniacal billionaire. You’ll have to excuse me if I’m not eager to sign up for another one of this dude’s schemes.
