I'm a protocol nerd, a true believer, and even to me it seemed impossible

Navigating the social media environment, politics, technical requirements, building a team to handle it all, required foresight, integrity and more hard work than I imagine

I'm so excited for what comes next, thank you Jay!

Thanks for sticking around! Glad you are going back to building and innovating while @toni.bsky.team can focus more on the financial/business side of things.

Too late. Elon Musk already has Grok scraping data from Bluesky. I wish they would block that though because Twitter (aka X) is a direct competitor and I’m sure isn’t helping them financially with servers constantly getting bombarded with AI requests.

I’m glad to see Bluesky is moving into its next phase of growth! Hopefully this means strategic partnerships, monetization, more developer tools, and more improvements to the ATProtocol (especially the parts that directly affect Bluesky). @jay.bsky.team Glad you’re sticking around!

Which Surface is that and what specs did you pick? Been thinking of upgrading mine later this year since I’m on a Surface Pro 7 and it’s getting old.

While I believe in AI and the advancements it brings, we should step back and take a look at how much water and energy data centers are using. Is it sustainable? Do we have the capacity? Do we have the resources? If the answer is no to any of these then we need to fix it before expanding.

I wish we had a president that realized they could use the Defense Production Act to help increase production and lower the cost of RAM for consumers and businesses. I’m pretty sure that meeting the demand is critical for our national defense since every country is trying to win at AI.

You know what’s scary? The fact that Truth Social is higher in the App Store than Bluesky. That’s scary. At least most of the people on Bluesky don’t lie or spread fake news. The same can’t be said for Truth Social where everyone shares conspiracy theories.

β€œWhy are you using others ideas? Make something original.” Well that’s always been my goal, but I came up with a bunch of the ideas these other apps have been doing a long time ago. I’ve just been so unmotivated to work on it.

Ugh. I need to work on my Bluesky app so I can keep up on here. I need to get over the stuff that’s blocking me from doing it and just make it work. I have so many ideas of how to incorporate aspects of @skylight.social and some of these other apps into one awesome app.

I've had a promotional VHS for the test animation that became Batman: The Animated Series for a long time, I bought it on eBay in like...1999? The version they put as a bonus on the DVD said they lost the audio but uh, here it is. You're welcome Bruce Timm.

@amirtalai.bsky.social I was just rewatching 2 Broke Girls and just saw you in Season 2. I knew I remembered seeing you in something before Hazbin Hotel! That must have been a fun cameo. I think it’s funny that they used your real name in that role.

Still waiting for any PC manufacturers to make a decent alternative to the Surface Pro with a Snapdragon chip. Did OEMs just give up on Windows Tablets? So much potential with ARM chips!

Maduro is a brutal dictator and deserves to be locked up but these actions were done without oversight. We did this the wrong way and the world may end up worse off because of it.

Once again, Congressional Republicans are abdicating their constitutional duty, kowtowing to Trump and blindly acquiescing as he starts a war with Venezuela, captures Maduro, and declares the US will "run" the country.
Republicans just don't care about checks and balances when it comes to Trump.

Anyone else miss the days when you could buy rolls of Life Savers for 75-79Β’ at the store?

Should I be concerned if I just found a broken piece of a circuit board on my foot after I made my bed? I looked around my room for any broken electronics, and I couldn't find any. What could it be a part of?! My mind keeps racing with conspiracy theories.

I’m going to gave to respectfully disagree with my Senator, @warren.senate.gov, endorsing @danielbiss.bsky.social over @katmabu.bsky.social for Congress. While I think both are qualified and great candidates, I think Kat has better policies and goals that we need to work towards.

Time to work your way up in the Office Division and fix it!

Even if it was, Trump created a precedent of immunity.

Will you still be working on Windows in your new role at Microsoft? If so, will it be something user facing like your role in the store?

I was close to doing the same thing once. If I remember correctly the answer to my problem was that I was an idiot or I needed new batteries in my accessory. If it was the former, maybe I needed new batteries myself. πŸ˜…
