Stubborn, Stupid, Rich … yet strangely Charismatic

I do not think this will end well for Musk… does the Tesla board actually have the guts to do what’s right for shareholders?

taking this app seriously enough to go for the fancy self hosted handle - I wonder what % of accounts overall do?

Congrats to @bluesky for all the new users

My 2 cents. Find every news source the has an RSS feed or equivalent and create accounts that that show their public deeds on here under @johndoetimesfeed

That way we all get access to news without having to wait for them to create accounts first.

so does @bsky.app actually have a "no bot" policy? more generally, a suggestion for @bsky.app is to have a bit more information on the main landing page about how this, while similar to Xitter, is also different in a,b,c etc

I have Apple fanboi tendencies…

But Screen Time is crap. And it’s always been crap.

How many millions of unsupervised hours have kids spent using devices without their parents’ knowledge?

I’m no lawyer…but seems like there are legit damages here

So what is the business / operating model for Bluesky? Something other than advertising, ultimately?
