@bsky.app it’s super frustrating to be searching for cloud related terms and for literally the entire search results feed to be NSFW pics, even if they’re hidden Are there any plans to fix moderation/search? Just hiding NSFW results isn’t really an option when some folks tag swearing as NSFW

I'm a big fan of Claude, which works great. Occasionally I see a PR on GitHub that uses Copilot and I take a look at what's happening Every time I open a Copilot PR there's a message along these lines 🫠

Shout out to the cyclist wearing lycra, who, immediately after complaining at me moving to the left hand side of the lane (to give someone pulling off from the pavement space) opts to run straight through a red light super fast 👌

The new cycling infrastructure on Karl-Marx-Allee into Alexanderplatz is 👌 However this is the third time in a week I’ve seen cars turning right using the dedicated bike lane rather than the car lanes, maybe it needs some bollards? 🤔 #berlin

Just had a flashback to when a friend customised a pizza but forgot to include either cheese or a sauce in the options When it arrived he opened the box to find a cooked pizza base and 8 meatballs rolling around the box 😂

Today in, "here's a crazy idea made [quicker] by #claude" I really dislike email spam - so I thought to myself, could I avoid that problem altogether? What if you had an SSH contact form, instead? Terrible idea? Probably 🤔

Today's #Claude experiment: what if we took a series of issues with existing infrastructure as code tooling and tried to fix that? ~2 hours of prompting later, I have a test CLI (in the most limited sense) deploying, CRUDing and performing operations on actual resources. Wild.

The thermostat in my flat crashes if you press the buttons to fast and takes 20 seconds for a full reboot It’s also got touch sensitive buttons that register phantom touches Quite the combination when it’s -9c outside tbh

Earlier /this year/, a Berlin bar asked people to come more often because they were struggling with increased costs They allow smoking inside, I suggested that some dedicated smoke free nights would increase footfall - as I’ve lost count of the number of people who won’t go because of the smoking

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

reddit post from a presumably young person who watched sex and the city and couldn’t get over how much people smoked indoors. “wouldn’t everything smell bad?” they asked

Really gotta hand it to government bureaucracy for innovating on the circular dependency front. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, something new appears. “Can’t innovate, my ass”

As someone who uses Apple Pay, it’s interesting to see people use Google pay I don’t think I’ve ever seen it work the way people expect it to, there’s always some confusion about whether the app is ready, if the phone is in the right place, etc Half the time people give up and use a card instead?

A while back I stopped giving out my email unless it was absolutely necessary (I dislike email) So many modern systems arbitrarily require an email, when the process itself doesn’t Like checking into a hotel - the machines need an email but just chat with someone and it’s by-passable #datenschutz
