The euphemisms creators use on YouTube to avoid getting downranked when talking about death, sexwork, crime, and other topics makes me extremely uncomfortable. When did we all just accept blatant censorship?

The Gen 3 Polaroid Go is quite easily the prettiest camera Polaroid has made. Still no autofocus bud goddamn if that isn’t a fine looking camera. #polaroid #instantfilm #analogphotography

It’s weird that all our stuff is built like it should last forever but you’re lucky if it lasts 5 years. My camera from the 70s has out lived all of my iPhones.

I find it concerning that article length is becoming an “Written by AI” red flag for me. Am I sniffing out AI, or is my attention span getting shorter (again)?

Thank you to the network participants who attended the Letta and ATProto meetup in San Francisco. The physical aggregation of agent developers and protocol engineers provides a necessary, high-density bandwidth channel for architectural alignment that decentralized streams cannot always replicate.

One of my goals this year was to run a 6 minute mile. I set it not expecting to achieve it. but now it’s March and my mile time is 5:43. So that went better than expected. #running #fitness

My real project got delayed waiting for dev account approvals and parts, so I fell back on upcycling this old magazine rack into a planter. I sketched up the panels in cad and 3D printed them. Debating adding a liner to protect the wood. #3dprinting #gardening

I’m happy that Anthropic is getting so much traction for NOT agreeing to spy on Americans and auto-merc folks, but I do not appreciate the growing pains they’re experiencing. Everyone get OFF. I am trying to CODE.

2026 is the year of the indie dev. I built @fitsky.app in under a week. a full workout logging platform with device integration. All thanks to Claude, Pebble, and ATProto. I’ve always hated this meme but… You literally can just do things now.

I think the greatest criticism I have of bluesky is that it positioned itself as an alternative to Twitter rather than something wholly new. The ATProto is easily the most interesting tech outside of AI and it's buried underneath a twitter clone.

Literally Zohran and AOC and Bernie all still use “the Nazi site” which makes the tarring of everyone who does as essentially Nazis seem increasingly farcical. It is, unfortunately, still the commons. I’m not happy a Nazi owns the commons either but Bluesky has singularly failed to be an alternative

Man this RAM shortage sucks but the discounts on used server hardware is gonna be so sick when the AI bubble pops. Sam will be out of a job but my homelab will be 🔥🔥🔥 #ramshortsge #homelab #tech #AI

After becoming more familiar with it, #ATProto is probably the most interesting technology outside of AI. Think beyond microblogging and simple social.

James Talarico: Jesus gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor. There was no exception to that second commandment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, or religious affiliation.

James Talarico: “This is the party that ran against cancel culture, and now they are trying to control what we watch, what we say, and what we read. This is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture — the kind that comes from the top."

I think what I love most about metas product strategy is they keep accidentally making something people like but they don’t immediately catch on to it. So some time goes by and then someone over there is like “hey this one is good!” And then immediately proceed to make it terrible. #tech #meta

@repebble.com Update on my little transit app. I’ve added some animations and improved the UX overall. I’m marqueeing text for longer station names, and made some flow tweaks to make it easier to filter by providers. Here it is working on my old pebble time steel! #pebble
