i love to express my creativity with code. why would i want to give that up? 🤷♀️ i resonate with this video: youtu.be/pzkwn3hu1Cc 💯 using AI feels like having someone else play a video game for you so you can get the achievements. but what's the point of playing video games? what are we doing? 😭
I was a 10x engineer. Now I'm useless.

LLMs are just good enough at programming to be a problem. and they are more than bad enough at programming to be an even greater problem
Lol, my friend @noiseissues.bsky.social made this same prediction: gamesbymason.com/blog/2026/mi... I'm somewhat convinced it will happen, especially but not mentioned in the blog: Microsoft's core business is now cloud services, Microsoft's customers are corps. So why not reduce development costs?
🪟 Prediction: Microsoft Is Going To Do The Funniest Thing Imaginable
When you think Microsoft you probably don't think sense of humor. And yet, I'm convinced that Microsoft is going to do a very specific *very* funny thing within our lifetimes.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

Wow, Audacity 4 is looking good! Breaks the stereotype of open source. 🎧 I'm hopeful for a new era of open source becoming pro: Blender, OBS, my new fav Kdenlive. I like GIMP and Inkscape, but not sure these are there yet. Any other examples of open source gone pro?

As someone who grew up on 4chan as a despondent highly-online teen, who was inspired to "do it for the lulz", who rejected empathy as making you weak, I'm grateful in my childhood that 4chan wasn't active in meme-ifying politics. Had I grown up on the internet 10 years later, who would I be? 🐸
I understand some of you don't have TikTok, but if you do, know that the explanation below is the best I've seen of what lay behind the Kirk assassination. Robinson is an alt-right nihilist, but in a way that's hard for many to understand. I think Aidan says what I want to say better than I could.
i do not like low trust society and would prefer a high trust society. this appears to require making society trustworthy
