Clearly the "Star Wars Program" of AI but in this case it's just tanking the US economy, while probably baiting nobody into actually following suit such that they tank their own economy worse.

Low key, I think a lot of the people who currently work at Bluesky right now probably would rather be working on Nostr, as they came from a crypto background, and it really shows in how they interact with the greater community.

It is kind of beautiful how incredibly seamless it is to be on a different atProto instance and average users don't even realize it in the moment.

You know what? I don't want Firefly to come back.

I want the show that Firefly partially ripped off (if not cribbed a LOT of notes from) to come back.

Quattro: I would like to start by apologizing to the members of this Assembly and all Federation citizens. We mean no disrespect to you by taking control of this session.

Chotiner: OK

Quattro: Deep down, we all believe that humanity should no longer pollute the Earth! Only the Titans, whose souls are weighed down by gravity, still think of ravaging it!

Chotiner: But that's not the only reason you've come here today, is it?

Quattro: What do you mean?

Chotiner: I've heard you have another name.

You'd think he would know better as an animator who would've withered at RISD if he hadn't been pulled to Burbank after being scouted by Fred Seibert & Hanna-Barbera. He's completely lost the roots that had him hustling, drawing his early pilots in his kitchen.

Even worse - that guy is a bluesky dev, and one with roots in crypto with IPFS and filecoin. He probably wishes he could've bailed on the place when Jack did.

If you're old enough to remember when adult content producers used to buy low digit ICQ numbers for online clout, there's probably a battery of medical diagnostics you're overdue for.

Instead his money, career & who knows what all else are wound up in a social media platform full of users who don't like smug tech bros, based on a protocol whose entire value is they can't really step hard on critics without driving them to alternative, fully interoperable instances. Tough luck.

It does really feel like they're all still bitter this place didn't retain Jack & the crypto bro set, but especially Why, as his roots are literally in cryptocurrencies & IPFS. If he wasn't deeply entwined with Bluesky, he's exactly the kind of person who would've left 2 years ago.

We continue to fly towards the sun with waxy wings.

As my brother @jongraywb.blacksky.app would say, y'all come eat.

Maybe he's just friends or related to someone on the team...

*Does the earpiece motion*

... I'm being told that'd be even worse.

They tried to make a spectacle & example of teens doing web defacements in the late 1990's: all that happened is those folks went on to illustrious careers in green hat work having already had an incalculable amount of free advertising thanks to showboating lawyers. They've learned their lesson.

At best it's an Xbox with Steam/Epic/Etc. access, but if it's as flaky as modern Windows because of that, folks will those wait for the Steam Machine.

Huh, that's neat though it's a shame about the source.

HELLO FROM HALO HEAD HFHH is an irreverent, allegorical comedy that explores the multitudes of a person's response to trauma. i call it a “traumedy” ;)

I had a dream the president of Nintendo was a big Evangelion-type robot I could pilot; emailed him about it that night, got flown out to film a video about it a week later, and now every iteration of Super Smash Bros. made since (Wii U, 3DS, Ultimate, etc.) contains a reference to this dream
