Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 28/09/2026...by an account less than a day old, with two followers, one of which is a bot that follows everyone. I wouldn't take that too seriously. 120
Reposted by Mike PMin @minneyar.fuzzyfox.social · 28/09/2026This comes off as a joke, but I seriously think a *lot* of this comes from people who were raised on movies and cartoons that depicted sci-fi robots as sentient beings and believe genAI is the same thing instead of just a very convincing chatbot. 192

Reposted by Mike Pponder @ponder.ooo · 25/09/2026this seems like a real issue w/ the design of atproto in its present form tbh. i really don't want all my accounts to be entangled with my social media such that if the mods don't appreciate my tone i effectively no longer exist on all the other apps in the ecosystem 5519

Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 25/09/2026An unexpected bonus of the AI revolution: Sometimes it is useful to give your idiot coworkers enough rope to hang themselves. Today, #GenAI is capable of producing huge quantities of rope, at a very high speed. 000

Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 23/09/2026The average lifespan of a Nazgûl is over 4000 years. "One-Minute George" was an outlier and should not be counted. 020
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 21/09/2026You could use it as a test for proton decay, too. Put a rock or something in there for 1 decillion years, and see what's left when it opens. 020
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 21/09/2026People are getting pretty quick at making new challenges. I'm imagining players just sitting there clicking reload until the battle finishes... ;) 130
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 21/09/2026In a mathematical context, "normal" often means "completely perpendicular to everything else"... 000
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 20/09/2026It's not a nap unless it's from the Napoli region of Italy. Anything else is just a sparkling snooze. 020

Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 18/09/2026Saying "load-bearing" should always be gated on context-appropriateness. 021
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 18/09/2026I sometimes wonder if we should switch to a model where you only pay for your journey _after_ the train has arrived. 040
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 18/09/2026We're only going for walls and a door in the MVP. We'll put the roof on in phase 2 once we've made the initial sale. 010
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 16/09/2026"Dunlending" always sounds like it should be some kind of retirement home for investment bankers. 110
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 14/09/2026The waking trees? Easy one. Just sneak up on them while they're asleep. 010
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 13/09/2026We stupidly left the room on our own, and slammed the door behind us on our way out ... 020
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 13/09/2026My new CPU design has two registers: one to hold the zero bits, and another to hold the 1s. 011
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 13/09/2026I just noticed the new chat command. So these battles are being triggered by players? I thought at first that they were random. 101
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 12/09/2026"Inside you there are two wolves." *full moon comes out* "Inside each of you there is half a human." 010

Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 11/09/2026Today's job: Trying to explain to hardware engineers that the customer can boot up the machine first and only plug in the cable afterwards. Shockingly, they can even unplug the cable and then plug in a different one! Who'd have thought such #witchcraft could occur? #Ethernet #FPGA #BangHeadHere 030
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 10/09/2026Just get a can of Balrog food out of the cupboard. They can hear it from a mile away. 051
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 08/09/2026I had an actual plan for a bit, but I rolled a 1 and lost it. :( 010
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 08/09/2026I have a cost-optimised version of this in which I give you $0.01 ;) 051
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 04/09/2026I vote for Jerry as the 39th most influential poster on Bluesky. 010
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 04/09/2026The 39th most influential poster is going to be very disappointed. 010
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 04/09/2026I heard that it comes with this kind of board, of keys, which you can press to make words appear on the screen. It sounds truly revolutionary! 010
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 03/09/2026I hear that the One Ring is known for slipping from its bearer's grasp... ;) 020
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 03/09/2026So your stolen carrot has been ... stolen? Soon someone will show up with a twice-stolen carrot. ;) 110
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 03/09/2026How about a tiered system like a football league, where the best posters get promoted and the worst get relegated? 000
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 02/09/2026How's that meant to be pronounced? It looks like it should be somewhere between "stink" and "extinct". Surely that can't be what their marketing department had in mind. 000
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 01/09/2026Of course this is gated on how many times you use the term "gated". 000
Reposted by Mike PSam Goto @sgo.to · 01/09/2026@thisismissem.social @divy.zone and I recently went through an exploration of how the browser can help you login to websites with atproto accounts.

Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 01/09/2026I'll have to use this with my boss. "What are you working on right now?" "Unspecified initiatives." 010
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 31/08/2026I just gave this a try. I see the same thing, but I can get it to work if I set a non-default User-Agent, ie curl -H "User-Agent: foobar/baz" mu.social/oauth-client...mu.social 010
Mike P @fentiger.wtf · 30/08/2026But I have some leaves! My leaves will defeat your parchment. ;) 110
Reposted by Mike PErlend Sogge Heggen @erlend.sh · 30/08/2026all I know about the data center debate is that being dogmatically “pro” or “anti” are equally untenable and intellectually lazy positions to hold. the real work of organizing labor power and local community agency is happening in the big messy middle. only the trolls engage at the polar opposites. 2376
