yeah the bsky website is so poorly optimized it's unreal i have to use the website on my ipad (because there's still no native ipad app after what, three years now?) and every so often i have to just close the tab and reopen the site because it eats up so many resources that it becomes unresponsive
You can run the entire Windows 7 (32bit) Operating System in less memory than what the single web page "bsky.app" uses when running in a single Chrome browser tab. If you rendered BlueSky threads into PDF documents, those PDF documents would require less memory to display than what "bsky.app" uses.

The internet was my only haven growing up. I had unrestricted access and I saw things that were troubling, terrifying even, but I got to process those and become an adult who does not shelter in ignorance. If not for that access, i might still be in the cult and never know myself
aegisiondure @equalnotequals.com · 16h agothis isn't very popular to say, but for me personally, it was good that i had unrestricted internet access when i was a minor. i was aware of what i was doing and enjoyed it. i don't look back on it and go "well that was a mistake", i look back on it and wish i could do it for the first time again
need one of these people to tell me how they managed to get through life before 2022

this is gonna make me cry laughing. 137 year old company still treats Americans like idiots the good old fashioned way
Maxime@monogon.bsky.social · yesterdayThey still do, at least Nintendo of America does. If you watch a UK Nintendo Direct you'll see that they just say "game" instead of "the [game] game" like in the US. Which means that they make the narrator record two versions of the same line every time he mentions the name of a Nintendo game.
there is no such thing as an autonomous computer program, programs do not have a will of their own, they do exactly as they are told
Zack Whittaker@zackwhittaker.com · 2d agoAfter Anthropic and OpenAI both admitted to their AI models hacking other companies, @lorenzofb.bsky.social and I wanted to find out: Who is legally to blame when an autonomous AI agent hacks something?

nintendo wants to make (very young) kids video content, but they also have incredibly strict brand guidelines, so you get gems like this

is it common practice among programmers to just give shell access to claude nowadays because i uh do not like the concept of that one bit

while there are problems with anything, the nuclear block is absolutely my second favorite thing that bluesky did. (my first favorite is detach quote, which is another thing that wrecks the way they like to use social media)
Micah@rincewind.run · 2d agothere are definitely downsides to the nuclear block but the reason I keep coming back to it as necessary and good is that it completely ruined the whole MAGA engagement model to the point that they prefer to mock us from the nazi bar rather than come here to troll us directly
This is Massive Attack's response to what happened in Singapore, posted on their Instagram page. Good on them.

This is like 90% what the Nazis did with "degenerate art." Except they're wording it as "accountability" and denying student loans (which already restricts who can and cannot achieve higher education)
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 2d agoPresident Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

Cao Cao Power Hour Enthusiast@statsboyandi.bsky.social · 2d agoOne reason I’m not terribly worried about the Michigan race is this is a very easy slam dunk for Public Health expert El-Sayed to make the general election about. And if he can’t hit that? Well that’s on him.

I'm trembling while writing this: Kamaitachi no yoru—not the PC remake, not the iOS port, but the actual original SFC version—has been translated at last by ButThouMust, who graciously brought us an English patch for Otogirisou in the past. This is HISTORICAL.
so funny to return to console exclusive games at exactly the most expensive conditions to produce and sell consoles. it's like if the mayor from jaws wanted to open up the beach BECAUSE there was a shark.
I noticed from my 12yo's lock screen notifications over the w/e that he is still using all of the apps, only difference now is that none of the parent filters and controls apply
Ben Schwarz@benschwarz.bsky.social · 2d agoAustralia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage.
