tbh i think the one thing bsky has over fedi feature-wise is its “feeds” system
something i’ve been thinking about lately is that if folks want to gloss over all the ethical issues with genAI because it alledgelly is a good “tool”, well, that argument also has severe limitations
first of all because the improvement of models doesn’t happen magically, it takes computing power and thus real, concrete resources in the world for it to happen, and that absolutely has a limit, a limit that will be severely felt when the bubble bursts. it might look like it now but venture capital money won’t keep being poured into this stuff indefinitely
second because AI companies aren’t your friends and least of all charities. access to genAI might be mostly free for now, but haven’t we been through the good old enshittification process a million times? first you provide people with a service that is useful to them for free, then when they’re dependent on it you both start charging and decrease quality
in any case, there is no free, magical life improvement “tool” here. these things don’t come with no strings attached, as much as it might seem so at the beginning, bc it is in the interest of the grifters in command that you think they have no strings attached. come on, at this point we should all know better.
being trans on twitter is like being too lazy to move out of a bad neighborhood. being trans on fedi is kind of the default. and then there’s being trans on bluesky which is chiitan liking all of your posts
I think the sulfur caves in minecraft could be cool, if they just made two changes:
- when near the sulfuric acid pools, metal armor and tools ambiently degrade
- sulfuric acid pools do damage
that's really it
I also like the idea of sulfur being flammable too

read a giant silksong spoiler trying to find a hollow knight quote on the wiki and my internal voice literally said “oh no!”
the only reason tucker carlson and alex jones and co are against the ‘war’ with iran is because the ‘war’ is inconvenient to oil barons
The word “zio” is an antisemitic slur popularized by David Duke (a klansman and klan leader). Don’t use it. If you do, it signals to Jews (even antizionist ones) that you’re unsafe

In 1993, the Japanese Famitsu magazine inquired Nintendo about Mario's favorite foods. Nintendo replied that Mario's favorite foods are mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and surprisingly, edible chrysanthemums.
