how is this different then facebook status updates?

Flying around the city.

Fireworks over the Hudson.

At the outset; I agree, you will have a better social media experience with services that let you curate a reverse chronological feed yourself. That said, people are lazy and it's _much_ easier for the average person to just let the algorithm make decisions for them.

If you ever needed a local development SQS backend but didn't want to deal with LocalStack (and wanted something more performant), here's [sqslite](github.com/wcharczuk/sq...)

WTB; an iMessage integration that applies Gmail style filters to text messages.

If you (like me) maybe wanted the shirt Lochlan Ratliff was wearing on the boat this week, here you go. tombolocompany.com/products/rep...

"Billionaire proof" social media is an interesting angle, but "large disinfo operation proof" is broadly more useful. How do you track nation state actors? how do you add reputation to a platform? How do you create a space for constructive debate safely? Are more interesting problems to me.

Checkpoint 60s typing test: 123 WPM.

NYC congestion pricing kicks in tonight at midnight; as someone who lives solidly within the affected zone, I will be saddened to be no longer treated to men from Nassau county doing full throttle straight pipe pulls while blasting Pitbull at 110db. A part of the city is dying tonight.

"We call them skeets"

I gave Threads a shot, I really did. Between the "Instagram explore page of guns and cars" For You algorithm and the inability to default to Following on mobile I'd just rather be elsewhere.

Reading your skeets

Regardless of what happens in this match, Alcaraz is the real deal and short of him being hit by a bus or something he's going to be a fixture of finals for decades.

Friends don't let friends build software people pay for with Javascript.

Apple Vision Pro; it will be made or broken on how the hardware works for the v0 use cases; watching videos, playing games. That is a lot of money for a VR headset. Without more mass adoption there won't be an app ecosystem for anything outside those core use cases. I still want one.

Kind of want to mess around with this if only to have a custom filtering system.

At what point do we talk about Github's reliability issues being material? We're having to work around issues with Actions / the API enough that I'm considering moving off it.

An invite tree (and barriers to user growth generally) are really only viable with a public benefit company as well, which bsky is already set up as.

Curious if we'll look back at the "staging.bsky.app" era with fondness; feels like we will!
