Who thought that writing an automated account for Bsky would be easy

^^ this muppet right here 🫠

Have spent the past 3 hours getting up to speed on the XRPC calls required to be able to authenticate and then post to Bsky.

Well, once it's done - it's done. But for now: bed. 😴

I really want to know how many people they were expecting, or even hoping, were going to select the "I want the bullshitting chatbot in Discord" options in the survey.

"they're not buying based on AI," Terwilliger says bluntly. "In fact I think AI probably confuses them more than it helps..."
Dell seems to be the first to realise we don't actually care about AI PCs
"What we've learned over the course of this year, from a consumer perspective, is they're not buying based on AI."
