Hi new followers welcome to the Clover Machine
all bluesky not having an algorithm means is that all the adhd hyperfocus sickness of the mind posters finally don't get deboosted anymore; free of our shackles we can force everyone to read 50000 posts about blorbo a day every day
could be wrong but I think people took bluesky not having an algorithm to mean you can just post whenever and run and accumulate however many likes you believe you deserve

but no, you still gotta engage with others and be a part of the community

It takes me a full day to get through charting each census year. Only one more after today and I'll have all the data I want.

The 1890 census is pissing me off.

If this is not the impetus for a constitutional amendment to establish an independently-elected attorney general, separate and apart from the executive branch, I do not know what else could get us there.

Bravely do art, whether it belongs in a museum or not, whether it makes you money or not. Do art only you can do, even if it's a shitty Fire Red Nuzlocke you did 13 years ago. AI is garbage. Reclaim your humanity by doing things you love solely because you love them.

I don't really know how to tell folk that the the things they love were made by multiple, fucking human beings, no genai or an idea guy.

America has deindustrialized so much they can't even manufacture consent
I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

We stan a work-life king.
Man answering his phone on the train: Yes? Correct, I’m not at work (pause) I’m not going to answer that because I am not at work today. No, you’re going to have to ask someone who is. Goodbye.

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

Throw a snowball. Get messy. Sing without recording. Live authentically. There is no other way, there is no other cure.

The cure for AI is authentic human connection. Slowing down, getting off your phone. Life is worth taking the time to do well.

I think it'd be far funnier seeing the regime removed and put on trial.
