Hey @tobyfox.undertale.com , one of my kids has been learning how to use @blender.org and set themselves the challenge of recreating Berdly in 3D!

We hope you like it.

I've begun my journey in removing as much USA tech from my life as possible (prioritising those things where I'm sending them money.)

Long way to go but the journey has begun.

I'm sorry but how the fuck is it actually legal for YouTube to contain ads like this which declare in tiny print "Uses AI avatars and voiceovers"?

What is wrong with society that we just shrug our shoulders and say this is fine?

Ensure your computer stays free from harm (and stop funding oligarchs) in one easy step!

I can't help but think of this every time the topic comes up!

Farage quite enjoyed it too.

As an experiment, I created a brand new TikTok account and put my date of birth as 1st January 2011, making me 14. The 4th video I was shown was Iryna Zarutska being stabbed.

As an adult I found this shocking and disturbing. Why the hell are we allowing TikTok to show things like this to children?

Imagine a mysterious person, Al, turns up in your child's messaging app without consent. You don't know anything about them. You don't know them or their parents.

You don't know any of their morals, or how they might influence your child. You can't remove them from the app.

Today it continues.

Another day, another 24 dollars.

And so it continues...

Here's the problem with the whole "I will say incorrect things, but people are free to correct me—that's the beauty of freespeech" shtick that they're running with:

Misinformation travels faster than the truth.

A lie gets 22 million views whilst the correction struggles to get 5 single views.

Thankfully not on Bluesky though, as it has no trackers! Please keep it that way.

Someone on Twitter said, 'I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means.'

But that’s not what free speech means. When a lie gets 22 million views while the correction gets 5 single views, that’s not free speech—it’s speech manipulated by an algorithm.

How to save money.

1. Log on to a friend's online banking (preferably forcefully).
2. Cancel all their outgoing payments. Bonus points for claiming recipients are illegal or woke.
3. You've just saved them an absolute fortune. Give yourself a pat on the back, loudly and publicly.

You're welcome.

That's funny - I took this very photo yesterday and was explaining the difficulty to someone. It's still a fun experience even by today's standards. I'm yet to pass this level though!

30,000,000 users and counting!

Here's how to have a custom feed of whatever you want as your default feed.

30,000,000 Bluesky users will be a fantastic milestone.

Is an open, decentralised social media platform an idea whose time has come?
