Dobedobedo I need a post with an image in it to test something... so here, have a picture of my boat.

Picture of the cutest boat ever (cos it's mine) moored in port

Yum!

Mine is probably a little bit more towards it but not far enough for most 🤣 And I'm so incredibly done dealing with the inevitable hate train.

Problem is that if your bias swings "the wrong way" (according to the vocal masses), you're in for a Real Good Time(tm) for a while after 🤣

You and me both...

... of you all need to fucking take a chill pill and go touch grass, because your inner dick is definitely flapping out there in the wind. Great way to help whatever cause you're supposedly championing.

And if you feel called out by what I just wrote? Good. Go touch grass. Come back later.

... and sometimes not even that. Personally, I don't give a fuck about your sexual orientation, your gender, or the colour of your skin. It shouldn't matter, and to me it doesn't. But what does matter to me is whether or not you're an absolute dick (sorry ladies, you too can be dicks). And some...

... the less sympathetic to your cause I become. I want to be sympathetic, but not if I'm now supporting some sort of rabid savage who lashes out at everything and anything that may remotely have the teeniest of tiniest Planck-constant sized links with whatever it is you're angry about...

... the exact same thing you complain about? Yeah, no, it is. But I guess when it's you doing it to someone else, it's okay, because you are justified! You have reasons! You are a minority! How dare they...

Yet, when it's done to you? End of the fucking world right there. The more I see it...

So. I'm so done with this. Again, people don't want solutions, people just want to be angry. And I get it, but jesus fuck, at least point your anger at the right place? Don't get some poor schmuck who has nothing to do with any of this involved in whatever beef you've got. Because isn't that...

Guy (amateurishly, but hey, we all started somewhere) builds website. Guy gets absolutely raked over the coals sort-of behind his back. Jay amplifies it. People dogpiling in falling all over themselves calling out website because OMG Jay is mentioning it so it *must* also be a pile of shit. A 🧵

hey big dawg, maybe try reading so you can see that nooki.me isn't affiliated with Bluesky at all, and the guy who built it doesn't deserve this shit.

but I guess it's easier to be angry than to read, huh?

Depends a little on how you host - I need S3 buckets because my PDS can be on 1 of ~7 different nodes, so blobs go to S3, and I pull the /pds in via CSI volume mount (which costs more per Gb than the S3 blob store does). Then again I'm running the most hilariously over-engineered setup so... :D

I'm feeling left out :(

(I mean I've got like, 10 times the follower count here than I ever did on X... but still :P)

Admittedly if I'd get cucumbers out of AI ... I'll take that. Do you know what those things cost these days? :P

LLMs aren’t intelligent they’re slot machines with autocomplete.
You pull the handle (prompt). The reels spin (probabilities).
Sometimes you get brilliance. Sometimes… cucumbers.

I can't even...

... with some force due to having probably 200kg of weight on top of it and things getting slightly unbalanced. The lesson to learn from this is: don't be doing no redneck engineering at home kids!

Of course I haven't learnt my lesson so I'll be juggling chainsaws next.

Right, so... using a collection of various bits of lumber, a hydraulic jack, and way more optimism than I should have, I managed to finally break the sealant on the roof of my boat. In the process I got 2 splinters (ow), and I nearly ate a piece of lumber twice when it was launched at me...

In other news, the ATmosphere treats censorship as damage and routes around it! XD

I'll take stupid wording for $100, Alex!

They're probably referring to what their hoster charges them per GB but choose their words very poorly :D

I hope at least that's what it is...

At this point, I would recommend anyone who wants to better understand the possibilities of #ATPROTO to search YouTube for videos featuring Rudy Fraser. His Account is @rude1.blacksky.team

... as to why Link got the perma-hammer so that *at least* it shows some thought went into the decision and it wasn't just an arbitrary knee-jerk kind of thing. And I still think perma'ing was too much. As a gen-x'er though I've seen me some shit on the internet so... maybe not the best judge :)
