Ooh I never check on here. Mine is that I used to do this stuff anyway as a hobby so recording it justifies the time spent 🤣

I’m sure you’re right. “This isn’t a one shot game, we just play again with the next generation” feels very on brand

My thoughts on a major reason why the DOGE mindset is bad. If you thoughtlessly f*ck about at this intersection then you will find out.

Is anyone maintaining some kind of simplified account of what’s happening in the US? I can’t tell what matters and what’s noise (which I assume is deliberate) and want a scant “in ten years we will see that this stuff mattered” timeline or something (obv it’ll be speculative).

Facebook is truly broken at this point. This is about 60% of my feed now - “look at this things that’s obviously AI. I know no one will praise me for making it”. Is it just a scam victim recruitment pipeline now?

I swear to God, if I see one more person excuse Musk's absolute and undeniable support of fascism, obviously not meaning @stevepeers.bsky.social, because "he is autistic" I will lose it. Amazingly I've managed to make it 43 years on this planet as an autistic individual without supporting the Nazis.

The sun is in my eyes... I could just buy and install blinds, or I can use my design thinking and UX tools to solve the problem creatively

It was actually an automatic reject because the text implied I was asking about access/ contact arrangements (?!) and then I resubmitted it without reading the “we will ban you instantly” part. So not actually 12 days of Xmas hate.
