It's is REALLY impressive how @dngnclub.itch.io is able to create original retro style graphic art without feeling derivative like a lot of artists. Let's start a petition to get TKG to make him the sole artist for everything @mothership.bsky.social going forward! www.instagram.com/dngnclub

Meanwhile, Claude still confuses me as a name.

So I've been trying to eat healthier and mostly cut out sodas, drinking stuff like @drinkliquiddeath.bsky.social and sugar-free drinks instead. I've lost like 15lbs over a few months. But damn, everything's too sweet now. Can't even drink Mt Dews anymore. At least I can still do slushies though.

People like to complain about the price of Macs, but I've always said that if you try to get the same hardware including the quality of the case, track pad, battery, etc. you're not going to find anything cheaper. My personal machine is a first gen M1 Air and it's still fantastic.

I've seen more bugs in GitHub in the last 2 months than I have in the previous 13 years. Mostly minor things, but still.

TIL "Monte Cook" is a dude's actual name. I thought it was some semi-obscure/niche phrase like Sine Nomine.

I don't know what it's like there, but I would be over the moon if that happened to me here in the US.

There is something indescribably cool about talking to a couple leaders of a small company that you love, and taking them into moving their e-commerce to the platform you work for. #Shopify #TTRPG

What I have Claude analyze: ⮕ Macro factors (interest rates, inflation, sector rotation) ⮕ Geopolitical risks/opportunities ⮕ Near-term catalysts (earnings, news flow) ⮕ 2-8 week price movements Basically finding stocks positioned for current macro trends with upcoming catalysts 3/3

Matt @mawburn.com · 05/09/2025
The approach: ⮕ Focus on swing trades (2-8 week holds) ⮕ Run multiple iterations with Claude until picks converge ⮕ Cross-check with ChatGPT deep research for validation Currently in 2 gold ETFs, one just hit take-profit this morning, 3 completed trades so far 2/3

Been running a fun experiment (not recommending this): letting Claude Opus 4 Deep Research pick my stocks for 3ish months Started at $1,062 after taking a loss (the dip in the graph). Now at $1,637 (+54%) Just play money in an old account, but the results are... fun 1/3

I think my favorite part of the AI code tooling, is the fact that I can bang out any random stupid idea I have without putting much thought into it as long as I give it clear instructions up front. ...I guess that could probably be a bad thing too. 😅

I don't even want to talk about how much I've spent on it. 😅 My company is ok with the cost though. I was only #4 last week & #5 this week. I've been using Claude Code for: ・Navigating large codebases ・Creating robust multi-step plans ・Based on the plans, making bulk changes. I audit everything!

I pulled my Claude Code stats last week and I've used ~3.4 BILLION tokens since April. How much is too much? Asking for a friend.

We moved to them from Recoil and they are really nice to use. I'm stoked to see them become part of the spec. github.com/tc39/proposa...

I really wish there was a good alternative. I know there are a couple but they are smaller than BSky by a long shot.

I'm late to the game, but I've recently been falling in love with Junji Ito's work. It's all so wonderfully fucked up!

since this keeps going around, a few common clarifications: - no pay-to-play. we won’t prioritize comments of subscribers - we don’t plan to do Twitter-style “paid checkmarks” - if we do add a “supporter” profile badge, it will be hideable - bookmarks will be free (when we get to them)

I really hope you're changing your registrar. A big part of this falls on them.

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy. It’s not rocket science.

Let's hope you don't get the rest! Norovirus is the worst thing I've ever had, but apparently it's common. 🤷

Why not redirect back to your new name if that happens? Similar to how github handles it. At least for the post level, assuming the post still exists. I feel like this is a pretty good incentive to not attach your account to an org, otherwise. Even good people leave good companies.

Ehh, poker chips are optional. You just need SOMETHING to act as bennies. I have used crystals for Crystal Heart, poker chips for Deadlands, and I use Vintage POGs for my Big Apple Sewer Samurai con game.

I'm pretty much fucked. I have had at least 3 different illnesses since last week and had to call an ambulance on Thanksgiving for one. The last one I'm still battling is in my sinuses and throat. fml
