this goes right along with my theory that the AI obsession in *users* is often bc…
1. they were never educated (esp "ipad generation") & don't know how computers work
2. our tools and services are all SO AWFUL NOW, degraded at best, actively user-hostile at worst

What a lovely surprise, to see On Spec and Diane celebrated like this!
I attended ConSpec in ‘98, after I moved back to Edmonton and was searching for community. I met Diane then, through the husby ☺️
I also recall it as my intro to @nalohop.bsky.social who was GoH. I loved all her panels! 🤓

I’ve booked a COVID vaccine every year and this “process” was the most disjointed and confusing.
If I am charged the 100$ I will be going to Fernie instead because this Province will not get a penny extra from me.
Absolute weaponized incompetence from the govt.

I’m doing rewatches of movies from ‘90s to ‘00s and I really miss some of the film design.
Voices are audible.
Scenes feel fluid. Location anchor shots.
Night scenes are VISIBLE.
Practical effects are so nice to see.
Plots interesting but linear (can’t feel the last minute edits)

This was a great day, hanging with fellow nerds and playing some games to support Edmonton’s most vulnerable. If you missed out, keep your eyes open for our summer game day. And as always, much love to @iamatrex.com and @catlinggun.bsky.social for the work that went on behind the scenes.

I will also note that these filters, as seems inevitable, wind up only filtering liberal leaning content. I have seen plenty of violent videos of ICE agents kidnapping people, despite pretty much every filter being on when I checked my settings. Apparently conservative violence doesn't count. 🙄

Remember that people do abuse these tags to keep you from seeing content they don't like. You may think you don't want to see threats but conservatives flag anything hostile toward their Great Leader as threats, for example. Keep that in mind as you pick your filters.

This means if you are in the habit of saying things like "fuck Trump" or "I hope Cheney burns in hell", probably a good amount of your feed isn't seeing those posts because, unbeknownst to them, Bsky has shielded grown adults from "rude" "threats" like this.

I've toggled this off and hope it fixes my feed.
I constantly scroll through my "following" and start to get repeats BUT I can confirm I never see anything by some of my favourite people who I manually go visit their profile daily.
This is BS. If I follow someone, I want to see their posts.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner
