Greetings from all of us at The Bird Internet! We've been proudly providing top-quality Mastodon services to our one (1) user and have now decided to diversify by adding a BlueSky PDS. That means we at The Bird Internet are hosting BlueSky on our own servers! #introduction #intro

I still have a retirement account with the district. I'll have an extra $10 when I settle down and retire. 💲

Doing odd jobs for my high school's IT department during summer break. I think I got paid about $11 an hour.

That was my motto at Petco!

Well that and "You haven't trained me to handle that animal."

This has been an unsponsored post.

This has nothing to do with The Bird Internet. I just think it's neat. 😊

Fun fact!

You can also use the LÖVE runtime to run Balatro on things it was never supposed to, like this GBA SP sized handheld I have.

Perfect for micro Balatro breaks in long lines.

The supposed message looks like something that came out of a ransomware gang, I had my doubts immediately.

Farthest I've been:
North: Reykjavík, Iceland
South: San José, Costa Rica
East: Gyeongju-si, South Korea (I'm there now, it's beautiful)
West: San Francisco, California, USA

I've got to get south of the equator one of these days.

Saradora @saradoraart.bsky.social · Aug 8

Farthest I’ve been:

North: Barents Sea (or if you want a ground place: Nordkapp, Norway)
South: Sorrento, Italy
East: Budapest, Hungary or Kirkenes, Norway? Not sure which one is the farthest East 🤔
West: Quebec City, Canada

You can see I'm not a "hot weather" enjoyer lol

Airmed, Dragonseer @airmed.bsky.social · Aug 8

Farthest I’ve been:

North: Around Östersund, Sweden (I don’t quite remember how far into Sweden we made it)
South: Istanbul, Türkiye
East: Also Istanbul somehow
West: San Francisco, California

Only one of those happened after I turned 18. 🤨

Chatbots have been talking to themselves too much and have developed a new, exciting form of AI psychosis.

That's fine by me if it prevents the old, scary version of AI psychosis.

A screenshot of an article. The highlighted bit reads "'I am going to have a complete and total mental breakdown. I am going to be institutionalized,' the chatbot said."

There's an episode of American Dad where Stan gets a dog and it gets injured in some horrific way and he refuses to let it die as it crawls around on 2 legs hooked up to life support, and that's Twitter right now.

Andrea Corsini :•) @syqkos.bsky.social · Aug 7

I genuinely hope the site just dies out, it's like watching someone you once loved become a sad mass of dead flesh crawling around because machines keep it "alive"

Error XOX: Contact Forbidden

The Bird Internet User you are trying to contact is refusing your Avian Packet (AvP)

This may be an intentional block, or your AvP may have been unintentionally redirected by a third party such as an outdoor cat.

Using a Large Format Avian Packet (LFAvP) may threaten smaller predators and allow for a successful delivery.

To request a LFAvP simply deposit a mouse in the large bait cassette of your Bird Internet Router. For best results use live bait in a fully stocked live bait cassette.

@newtontalk.bsky.social's on here and deserves more followers. I remember browsing their archives in the era of the iPod and imagining a future that has since arrived.

What’s a number (or set of numbers) in your field or hobby that might seem unrelated but anyone else in that group would recognise in an instant?

Yes this is the whole ballgame here. The screaming about "tax cuts for the rich" makes it sound like any other spending bill to the normies and the GOP want that to be the headline! It's just white noise now.

This bill is about trading Medicaid for the secret police and camps.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · Jul 3

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I went through quite a Will Wood phase. The whole Normal Album fits this vibe perfectly. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I'm sorry, The Supreme Court wants you to be able to weasel your way out of hearing about queer people? Here's a presentation on drag throughout history. Your parents let you take a biology class? Here's a PowerPower on hermaphroditic plants.

The Bird Internet Company @birdinter.net · Jun 27

If I was a public school student I'd be writing all my presentations on queer topics right about now.

I've been exploring how easy it is for bad actors to use VEO 3 text to video generation to spread disinformation in a crisis. With the Iran war in the news, these kinds of AI videos could potentially fuel a crisis if they were to go viral at the wrong moment.

Took a photo of my Betta with my 3D printed Porygon. Came out pretty great IMO. #photography #pokemon #vaporwave

A large silhouette of a polygon Pokemon Porygon looms in front of the camera while a small silhouette of another Porygon stairs at a fish tank containing a Betta an a small plant.

Attention Bird Internet user(s?)

We have started a new campaign to get more followers than the Vice President.

When I started this account it was just a way to test our BlueSky PDS, but now it's become what social media was always destined to be: a popularity content powered by spite.

Um so, this thread could get a heavy. TWs about self harm

Before I came out as trans there was about a decade where I knew exactly what was different about me. Some of the people closest to me, some of the people I trusted to be accepting were not of a trans person in our life.

Wow. That's a ratio.
