Use my public feeds to get the content I used to repost in X.

Listening to a podcast and multitasking with the captions still visible: unlocked today

I dropped my book as an audiobook on YouTube, and as a bonus, you can get it as a clip version.

If you like audiobooks, try to upload them to Nuotit, and you can transcribe (on-device) the audio for read-along.

Who's still sending raw audio like it's the 90s?

The dopamine test

Or when you listen to a podcast at 3.5x

Now that Discord is out, you can record your talk and post it to any existing group (private) chats to get a better experience from audio chats in seconds.

What do you do when social media is full of clickbaits, fake engagement, and AI slop? You switch to private chats with audio-to-video. www.petrikajander.com/lappaa-slide...

Ho ho ho!

Hi, I am starting the process of closing the blueskyfeeds.com feed service in early July. I am having difficulty dealing with site outages, issues with the firehose, ballooning cloud operating costs, and blocking users trying to 'stress test' with feeds that store every post (you know who you are).

New live stream indicators on Bluesky

After a court order by the Turkish government, Bluesky made accounts unavailable for Bluesky users in Turkey this week. I take a closer look at geographic-based moderation works on Bluesky and atproto, how it can be sidestepped, and much more fediversereport.com/bluesky-cens...

In effect Bluesky will be indirectly deciding who gets to be verified, for a large part of the ATProto app user base. Bluesky's selection of trusted verifiers may then be a locus of controversy with possible calls for Bluesky to have a formal policy (like Mozilla's) re who gets to be a verifier 3/

See the book for context @fragmentsofreality.bsky.social

I have a random thought about all of this and Elon. In Walter Isaacson's book (as noted by @davekarpf.bsky.social), he tells the story of Elon constantly going all in. davekarpf.substack.com/p/elon-musk-...

Everything is transitory

aint that the rub. "We want a chronological app with no ads just photos!". "OK, here you go" "It's a bit boring". I'm not sure what the middle ground is, but I like the ethos behind Foto and hoping they find their feet.

Bsky's DAU as measured on the firehose is currently 2.4M This measures only active users who like/post/follow someone. Paul's number includes people who log into the app/site but do not otherwise engage. So ~40% of active users do not like/post/follow bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/b...

Meta’s feed content is just filling the space between ads

The latest update dropped with new features Bluesky Videos with subtitles and customisable language settings Nostr Relay Improvements: Prevents adding duplicate relays with a new check feature Bug Fixes: Resolved issues on iOS 18, fixed general settings hangs, and addressed various minor bugs

Really interesting long essay on Netflix & the streamers. www.nplusonemag.com/issue-49/ess...

Stealing @hailey.at's thunder to explain something cool she just did. Now when you click on a trending topic, you'll go to a screen that looks like this (1/5)

Ed Conway goes looking for materials we have run out of—and retires the series after one post, because he can't find any. Never underestimate elasticity of supply! edconway.substack.com/p/hang-on-ar...

Lack of understanding is called complexity.

The final frontier where no advanced tech will enter

Creativity is the sound of silence.

Whom to trust? Trust is relative It takes time to build your established online identity where others are socially verifying you by associating with you with engagement, linking and referrals. If you haven’t done that, there’s not much any third party can do cost-effectively. The Internet: WIP

as of this week, when you verify your account by updating your username from a default like emily.bsky.social to your website @emilyliu.me, your former bsky.social username is reserved for you automatically (and prevents impersonators from claiming it). you can revert back to it at anytime

Ryan's realisation that Bridgy Fed is critical infrastructure for the new state that the internet is trending towards, combined with Anuj's vision on how to build this out, is a very potent combination. Very excited about this!

Artificial Ingredients

just now realizing it's possible to monetize feeds now — someone could easily build a feed that is only accessible to paid members... i wonder how far away we are from someone building the algorithm app store

Old mistakes cannot be covered by repeating them.

After MS acquisition it has been downhill every since. The mission creep is real. They announced games earlier this year www.geekwire.com/2024/all-pla...

Today's feature is a banger 🥁 You can now restrict access to your feed to a list of people! If you aren't on the list, you will see NOTHING when viewing the feed. Head over here to find out how to use them 👇🏻 www.graze.social/docs/subscri...
