Helsinki transport had a phase last year where they demanded ID to make sure you weren't using someone else's ticket / phone. Felt wrong, but I didn't look up if it was legal.
the idea of having to identify yourself or being required to have an id is authoritarian and just completely fucking insane

Thursday sky was doing some kind of optical effect with the sunrise, and @jhilden.bsky.social got this picture, which I had to enhance with fuego Elmo.

Does this mean the previous high score shown was somebody camping on the seed? Is the day UTC or device time?

We've been talking about this desire for a collaborator, especially working in a remote team across timezones. How Claude can feel like that, but it's more of a rubber duck / yes man.
... the real collaborators were the friends we made along the way.

gas town is deranged, nobody should burn that many tokens. Claude code by itself will burn plenty if you let it. Plan mode helps to outline an incremental change before it starts changing code. When it starts spinning out, it doesn't tend to recover. git helps to revert to a previous working state.

and accept good replies that actually add to the conversation.
One way this could work:
Amy replies to Bob's post, and it shows as a quote post on Amy's profile.
If Bob approves it, then it also shows as a reply under Bob's post.
This kinda unifies replies vs quotes, which people use inconsistently, and makes it easier to ignore bad replies,

I still think that replies should need to be approved to show up.
I've never really had "numbers" >10 though, so I'm speaking as someone who accidentally looks at replies on occasion.
