I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

I challenge the methodology in this chart b/c there is nothing to distinguish online dating via mobile app (demeaning, soul-draining, numbers game wherein profit is leeched from your suffering) vs online dating via flirting in the DMs (principled, skill-based, derived from human traditions of rizz)

The reason people do NOT opt out of online dating, despite its engineered horrors, is because increasingly it's the only dating. Period.

doesn't do what i want it to

calrot @exaroted.bsky.social · 2d

pinta's lack off plugin support and inability to adjust the tolerance of the magic wand in-place are dealbreakers, and i really do not like the idea of using a web app

the only program on linux i can't use that i really wish i could is paint dot net and it physically fucking pains me

i should suck it up and learn how to get virtual machines working but i don't even want to run win11 through it, it's just too fucking slimy

like basically everyone who works in software I embody this tweet and do not under any circumstances want to talk to my computer

Tweet from @PPathole

Tech enthusiasts: My entire house is smart.

Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don’t recognize.

Folks sometimes think the Annaki Nova is the mascot weapon for Anarchy NoVA. This is a misconception- Heavy Edit Splatling is easily the Anarchy NoVA weapon,

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

thinking about jay's "are you paying us?" quip and reading back over the replies to this thread, seeing the excitement this user base had to give this company their money, not even caring about the features, to help foster the community they were growing... while knowing what happens one month later

Rose 🌹 @rose.bsky.team · Oct 24

To grow sustainably, we’re working on a subscription model for premium features like higher-quality video uploads and profile customizations (think colors and avatar frames), but Bluesky will always be free to use. We believe information and conversation should stay accessible to everyone.
