I suspect y'all would love @sachajudd.com's newsletter. This week was particularly awesome -- about art, AI, and human labor. newsletter.sachajudd.com/archive/made... (photo from a presentation by Jae Lubberink)

Chaotic good. I'm a big fan of you. I think you’re awesome. 🤘
Really loving how clean the Flickr experience is. No algorithms or advertising stupidness. Huge photos. Clear licensing. So many great artists. I'm grinding on getting more of my photos posted ... there's a few years to catch up on! www.flickr.com/photos/miste...

Hey all! I'm hosting a workshop about freelancing as a software developer, geared for people who are new to the biz. I'm aiming for late June, and I'd love to hear from you: What topics are you interested in? What format works for you? forms.gle/qocSwYeiGfDZ... (Reposts always appreciated. ❤️)
Y'all know what I love? In a dark way. Bad! Not good! I love when people come back to some kind of grounded, well researched truth. In this case: nerding out about chemistry and stumbling into the seedy Montanto shit show. Click bait? Yes. Accurate? Also yes? www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxVX...

Unpopular opinion incoming. The problem isn't capitalism. It's assholes. [redacted exposition on assholes redefining capitalism and perverting Adam Smith's invisible hand] [redacted fanfic about invisible hands and assholes] [revolution] And kids, that's how @buttplug.engineer became emperor.
System prompt: Tell me I'm a piece of shit and fight me on everything; you better have evidence you can back up with citations. I'm gonna look at every thing you send me with caustic cynicism and criticism. Fuck you. [6 months later] I can't wait to tell LinkedIn about how amazing I am OMG.
The best and worst thing about being an American who (kinda) speaks German is understanding what Germans are saying about Americans these days. 😅
DennisKBerlin@denniskberlin.bsky.social · 11mo agoIch fürchte das hier, ist bei vielen Menschen im Bezug auf die USA immer noch nicht angekommen. Bei der Politik auch nicht. Sollte es aber.
"Good for business." Holy shit does that mean a lot of things. Pretending to be an F100 company, defending your turf and protecting your wealth ... ... or being an entrepreneur, and taking a fair shot at solving other people's problems? Defending yourself vs. solving bigger problems. Hmm. 🤔
I don't share this lightly. I believe @devingaffney.com and the @graze.social team are working toward a future that transcends borders and bank accounts. "Decentralization" is a word that scares people with too much money and power. Fuck 'em. Let them be scared. Let's build something better. ❤️
Graze Social@graze.social · 11mo agoDecentralized platforms aren't just better for users - it's better for business too. Read below about how we beat industry benchmarks in a recent donation drive for public media on the @graze.social sponsored content market, and what that means for the future of decentralized social media!
The antidote to "MCU fatigue" is the Gen Z version of a low-fi flick about a guy drilling his head because of math, or maybe a bunch of shitty people monologuing and murdering to a retro soundtrack. Aronofsky is 56. Tarantino is a Boomer. ... but I'm old. Who are the filmmakers I'm missing out on?
Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social · 11mo agoHollywood just posted its worst box office since 1981 adjusted for inflation(excluding the pandemic). The franchise formula is breaking down as MCU fatigue is real and half the sequels this summer underperformed prior entries. The audience is sending a message, but studios aren’t listening.
I'm disappointed with recent dystopian fiction. "The Ministry of the Future" and "Fall" and others ... Blockchain? Singularity? AI? They focus on tech, not humanity. The joy (uhhh?) of 1984 and F451 isn't the technology, it's the psychology. What's a good, modern, human centric, dystopian fiction?
For those who’ve just stumbled over here (welcome and thank you!) mostly I work in three dimensions…work in progress, destined for bronze and silver casting #InverteFest

i hope more people realize that @graze.social + @bsky.app is a form of monetization that has never existed before in the history of social media
@shoots.green Community Development Trust@shoots.green · last yr.Our first donation from @graze.social feed monetisation earnings: $100 CAD to @transrights.northsky.social 💚
This is what it looks like when you take control of the attention economy and give that power to the community. We can change how monetization works online to build a better future here.

Very excited to share Factorial Capital’s investment in @graze.social alongside @betaworks.com. We are at an inflection point where control over the algorithm has potential to shift from platform to person and AI can help people orchestrate their own algorithms techcrunch.com/2025/04/16/b...

It was great to meet everyone, and I'm hyped that we made so many new connections! We'll have another meet up next month, and I think we'll find a space with a projector where we can do demos and maybe a lightning talk. This space is moving incredibly fast, and there's so much to learn ...
Chad@chadtmiller.com · last yr.So great meeting everyone at the first Bluesky/AT Proto meetup in Portland! Thanks @peat.org for putting it together! #pdx #atproto #meetup
