A cartoon man, wearing a suit, arms akimbo, says “You see, it is the goal of power to destroy everything that has a soul!”

This single gag was worth signing up to Bluesky for.

Wait. Why is the favicon for Bluesky the American Broadcasting Company logo?

Boy, the web experience for BlueSky needs work on mobile. After scrolling a while, it gets super jittery. Please don’t tell me about the app.

I upgraded Apollo to Ultra, deleted my Reddit account and then removed the Apollo app. Thought about adding Reddit domains to the pihole, but that seems extreme.

Let’s see if I understand this correctly: both Stack Overflow and Reddit are blaming “LLMs are being trained on our precious content!!!” for their sudden insular postures regarding access to content that isn’t really theirs anyway. The Bullshit Machine is eating itself.

I see the trajectory. They’re gearing up to sell it to Elon Musk, who will re-brand it to X.

I broke down and read the article. It implicates the pandemic period surge in remote work opportunities and high interest rates, yet never mentions the perceived risk of being laid off after an impactful relo. Because of course it doesn’t.

When you're asked to ELI5 and you use words like "context" you're not quite there. 5-year-olds don't know a lot of words with 'x' in them.

I dreamt that I was in college, taking a course on early history of the British Isles, but I only attended lectures, and didn’t do any reading. My final paper was regarding Linda’s Farm, for which I got a big, fat F.

To be clear, I intend to perpetuate the handwringing, mostly because I don’t have any cats.

Jim Flanagan @jimfl.bsky.social · 15/05/2023

Social media sure has a case of the McLuhan Flu right now. There’s far more handwringing about the nature and future of the platform than there is fat-chewing about everyday human business.
