It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all
Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Apparently I had too many privacy settings turned on, Discord said it couldn't make me one because it couldn't collect enough information about me.
That's funny.

Discord is doing a "wrapped" kinda thing now. Apparently I'm in the top 10% of Discord message senders? But it has a page talking about the person I share the most time with and suggested a message for me to send them, which would be... extremely inappropriate as it's someone who works for me.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Blizzard should reduce the price of a month of WoW game time, having *8* hours of *planned* downtime per week is laughably stupid and adds up to 32 hours per month where you physically can't play the game. Your company's insane incompetence should not deprive players of what they paid for.

Ppl are immediately blaming Twitch for this, but its genuinely not their fault.
This is a ❗❗US TAX THING❗❗
YouTube has to do the same thing. They're US companies & beholden to US international tax laws.
Twitch and YT are NOT taking your money, the ✨IRS✨ is.

All rich people are thin skinned, has nothing to do with the medium.
it’s unfortunate that @mcuban.bsky.social gets so much hate on bluesky. i miss seeing his posts but can’t blame him at all for not posting because i’ve seen the replies when he does

Had Gemini cook up something I've wanted for a VERY long time: recreation of the DOS 5.0 terminal experience I grew up with that used ANSI.SYS for color output. I don't like that it's running under PowerShell because PS commands are bleh/meh/yuck, but hey, color! (And proper DOS formatted output!)

Anyone wanting to play with Gemini 3, you can get it here: aistudio.google.com
I tend not to use this because it's a limited web interface while Gemini CLI can create/delete/edit files on disk which is S-tier. I added myself to the waiting list for access to G3 with GCLI. Hopefully get it soon.

I know a lot of people hate LLMs, but for software dev by real coders it's insanely useful. I just had Gemini (2.5, not even 3 (plz, Google, give me?)) convert a Perl script into a Java app with a very basic Swing interface. This would have taken me an hour. It took minutes.

I should have just began disabling extensions to find it before complaining because I found it literally immediately. "Sky Follower Bridge", for whatever reason, is causing very noticeable delay in typing and characters appearing in input boxes on here. Ugh.
Apparently I have an extension running in Firefox that is causing delay when typing pretty much anything on the main Bluesky website. But I don't have any extensions for Bluesky AFAIK. BUT MY GOD IS IT ANNOYING ME.

I wish more Twitch streamers would multi-stream on YouTube or Kick. Kick has no ads and ad blockers still work perfectly on YouTube. Not so much on Twitch. Completely ruins live streams.

Kind of nice to see a tech company do platform releases the common sense way. Android is 72% of the handset market globally. Apple handsets always getting app updates first because US nerds have lost their way has been obscenely silly.

Until now, if you lost or broke your phone, your Signal message history was *gone,* a real challenge for everyone whose most important conversations happen in Signal. So, with careful design and development, we’re rolling out opt-in secure backups.

Twitter had to turn off its location feature within hours because thousands of prominent and "verified" MAGA accounts turned out to be foreign and I think it's hilarious that Elon was the one who exposed them all

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

This is funny for many reasons but.. hold up a sec. Elon Musk.. revolutionized AI? Wasn't Grok 1.0 ChatGPT? I understand these days it's its own thing, but.. Twitter is about as much of a player in the AI space as Facebook is (yes I'm dead naming them both.)
