I like when I can still get little kid levels excited by stuff.

They might as well set up a cot and some blankets for me at hardware hacking village @defcon.bsky.social next year coz I’m in deep now.

I like it a lot. The build is fairly simple but there’s a lot to explore after, especially if you have your ham radio license like I’m trying to get right now

How absolute dog shit tired am I of doomscrolling? I deleted TikTok once and for all and after I play with hardware, while my 3d printer is going, I’m teaching myself to sew (badly).

My biggest takeaways from the panel discussing Youth Perspectives on AI and Technology were that:

AI creates barriers for those trying to enter the workforce, disrupts our privacy, and kills the environment we live in. It's time we all fight for better and more restrictive AI policies!

NEW: A cyberattack has forced Japan's beer maker Asahi to suspend operations at its plants in the country since Monday.

For now, the company said it's experiencing a "system failure" but did not confirm "leakage of personal information or customer data to external parties."

Just to recap, the actual president found an AI-generated video of a fake news report depicting a fake announcement about an imaginary healthcare system based on a technology that doesn’t exist and posted it on his official social media account

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!

We're also well past Tesla being the only reliable EV in the marketplace, so even if you're a single issue person and that issue is driving an EV, again that ship has sailed.

The bar may not have been a Nazi bar when you first found it, but it clearly is now. Why are you still there? 2/2

1000% percent this.
I am fortunate to have had a lot of really wonderful family members, although many of them have passed.

And all of them left memories, but the IMHO 'best' exemplars did things that helped others and gave me great admiration for them. And I do remember.

It’s both. The things you do impact the people around you. A thing you taught them or a kindness you showed them cause vibrations. If we’re oh so very lucky, those vibrations carry on through other relationships long after we are dust. It’s the closest to immortality we can hope for.

I'm increasingly convinced that life is less about what you do than the people you touch along the way.

I miss the days when #Bluesky was booming. When so many of us were excitedly watching the user count grow. How can we get back to that? What can we or the devs do? Let’s talk about it.

Personally I think there needs to be more onboarding info so people can learn their way around easier and faster
