To be fair, the fact they jacked up prices tells you very clearly one of the reasons meetup had to be sold in the first place
business goose🪿@goose.art · yesterdayah another casualty to the bending spoons juggernaut. afaik they have never improved a single company, as a meetup organizer, they've jacked up prices dramatically while "revamping" the design, but left all the old bugs and seemingly created new instability
@atlassian.bsky.social I swear to god if y’all don’t make this handle atlassian.com I will TURN THIS CAR AROUND
The deeply annoying reality of being AuDHD is that people are wrong on the internet AND getting into arguments satisfies my need for novelty
a lotta y’all are very boring and annoying a lotta y’all are not and then there’s a buncha y’all who i never see or hear from. - Bluesky in a nutshell
Based on what? What peer-reviewed, replicated, falsified, and meta-analyzed study backs up this truly ridiculous claim?
We have spent the last 20 years discovering and dealing with the mental health effects of overreliance on Google Maps.
I have only one thing to say…. it is very funny to hear someone say they’re a technological centrist.

It is really funny that everyone keeps making fun of Steve Yegge because the dude is more right than wrong. I look at what many of you are doing now and it’s basically baby Gas Town. What’s funny is that y’all don’t get the bit!
If you make a hyperbolic post, I will definitely give you shit for it :p …especially if you’re complaining about hyperbole!

OH NO HOW DARE — …oh, you didn’t read anything? You’re just reacting to the clip? Wow, it took me ten seconds to be an adult and do more than that. (I didn’t have to, because I actually pay attention around here!)

Good on @toni.bsky.team! We need more anarchists, communists, and socialists here!

oh look I’ve been called to the table for an intervention but because it’s @grimalkina.bsky.social its a loving intervention that I’ve needed
Cat Hicks@grimalkina.bsky.social · 2d agoHello. If you struggle with maladaptive overachievement, and anxiety about productivity, and you experience relief at the sensation of productivity and difficulty regulating your behavior around demands for you to be productive, that doesn't make you a bad person, and that is not addiction.
Oh, I have m. And it’s why I’m building what I’m building, and why I talk about what I talk about. Call me arrogant, but the implications are staggering and I absolutely understand the potential impacts at ecological scale.
Laurens@laurenshof.online · 2d agoLike I said at my presentation at atmosphereconf, "This isnt over until we all listen to kpop" and i mean that in a very literal direct sense i dont think you all have grappled with the implication of the system we are actually building here ionosphere.tv/talks/ODxNLMM
you not knowing about someone and talking about how cool you are to be too busy to look it up but not having the self-control not to post about is isn’t the flex you think it is

People can have addictive behavior patterns to nearly anything. What is likely to age poorly is the idea that there’s anything inherent to LLMs that cause those behaviors.

reminder: every word has meaning. too many of you slide over even short posts and then show your lack of understanding by what you say in response. 😘😘😘😘
It’s hard to undersell the importance of Steve in our warehouse. Twenty years on the floor, runs night ops solo, and every morning we come in and the whole place has been moved — eight hundred pallets stacked to the rafters. Turns out he’s using a forklift.
Jonathan Jarry@jonathanjarry.bsky.social · 5d agoIt’s hard to undersell the importance of Hank Green in our space. Co-creator of Crash Course and SciShow, OG YouTuber, and a really good novelist to boot. Turns out he’s using AI.

Too many of y’all get the shape of atproto fundamentally incorrect, thinking it’s about “data ownership,” but it’s literally never been about that, and if you keep banging that drum, you’ll miss the point, just like we have every other time.
Bryan (they/them) on pckt
“Data ownership” has never mattered except for large companies. A lot of people on atproto think data ownership is something end users care about, and they don’t, not even when you explain it to them. What atproto builders call “data ownership” is a capitalist warping of what r…
