It’s a cesspit, anyone that stays there only has themselves to blame.

Looks like a Huf Haus. German company that manufactures pre-fabricated modular buildings. They have a particular look, which you may or may not like, but they're made from sustainable materials and are very energy efficient. Could be a lot worse.

Is that an emergency question?

Maybe you could train an AI model to spot AI fakes but to me that would be fighting fire with fire and would likely misclassify a lot of images. Most of the crap in my feed came from people reposting things, probably with good intentions.

Are you the one that manages the shared calendar?

You gonna have a tool board on the wall with hooks and outlines of where tools should be? 😉

I mean. 35-349 Marathon Plus pumped to 7.5 bar are effectively solid tyres 😬

😬 Almost makes you consider solid tyres. Almost.

This has significantly reduced the volume and the noise in my feed and improved the quality of the conversation I see. Still get the odd thing popping through but it would be from someone I’m actually following not just a repost or quote.

I’ve come to the conclusion that we can’t really stop other people but we can reduce our own exposure. I had a think about what I wanted out of bluesky (or other social media) and it was interaction with the people I follow, what they have said. So I turned off a few things to achieve this.

I’ve been using Wahoo trainers for six years, a Kickr v5 for almost five of those until it started failing a month ago. Wahoo support have replaced it with a refurb for free, well outside of any warranty period. So as well as good products full marks for after sales service 👍

Happy @theorblive.bsky.social day to those who celebrate.

Don’t look at the bottom half of the internet. Just don’t.

Same as @tomflood.bsky.social, walking and cycling to school.

The mix of narration over muted conversation shots and talking to camera for the ‘difficult bits’ set me off. But still thankful they did the difficult bits so I’ll give them some leeway.

Is there perhaps a third other place that would be better?
