The glow and excitement of starting a new social media account. How long will it last? Join me on this unexciting journey.
Fascinated by the new Truth Social x Perplexity partnership, especially in light of the recent Cloudflare allegations. Perplexity, for many, continues to live up to its emerging online reputation as “the least ethical #AI company.” (1/3)

Oh baby, Perplexity really said "idc if you want to protect your content from AI crawlers, we're taking it anyway."

Thinking a lot about AI and "outsourcing existence". As always, it starts with business automation for me and then slowly starts to seep out into personal life. Hate the idea of a partner or friend sending anything via AI. Even AI generated Slack messages are ick.

Hello again, Bluesky. 👻

Holy - feel like every Google workspace tool I've opened in the past few days has greeted me with a pop-up trying to sell me on AI.

Gemini to summarize the doc? No thank you.

Opened Google Docs... GPT extensions? Nooo stop.

Mulling over the jump from ConvertKit to Substack for the personal newsletter.

But keep the business newsletter on Kit for email sequences?

Every couple of months feels like I need a tools and software refresher to keep afloat of all the new offerings. What I really need to focus on is writing!

always come back to this early ep by one of my favourite bands, huskur du, when I just want to be swallowed by wave of lofi distortion

contenders for the title of most overlooked early punk bands; big boys.

Would go on to influence all the jaggedy guitared, bass heavy bands I love dearly.

For fans of minutemen, wire, etc.

In the mood for overlooked or underrated alternative hip hop today.

Pete nice album always comes to mind. Annie reference in Rat Bastard is crazy. Lumberjack is the highlight for me tho.

Feel free to add to the thread. #music #musicsky

On the docket for today:
- Proposal going out to a client (all clients are looking to increase the scope of our work)
- A Year in Review document is going out to another client. SEO growth from just two pieces of content doubled their traffic.
- Newsletter on the backburner as always #buildinpublic

Blissful day. Sunshine is finally peeking out from behind the clouds after what feels like two weeks of greyness in Halifax. How long will it last?

Been enjoying having nothing but moss and nature photos on my feed for a year but also miss my twitter fam 😔
November 21, 2024 at 2:12 PM
@sarbjitkaur.bsky.social I see you've joined the exodus from Twitter. Welcome to the Bluesky family 😂

Just did a quick search for NZB here hoping for some kind of Usenet community. Doesn't really exist, it seems.

Okay shoutout to the Naturalists 🌿 feed though. Not a single off-topic post just spiders, birds and greenery.

You understood the assignment.

On the hunt for more well-curated Bluesky feeds.

Seems like a lot of what I followed in the past no longer has moderators or good off-topic filters.

music, nature, literature, art - give my brain the good stuff.

shame on me for thinking i can use this platform for connecting with people in my industry.

> search for digital marketing/entrepreneur feeds
> nothing but ads
> pikachu surprise face

and toying with a sales tax cut didn't help the New Brunswick PCs win their election. That being said, Higgs' unlikability probably outweighed it all in the end.
Groceries don't have HST, rent doesn't have HST, bad math says if you spend $50 a week on gas, 1% is 50 cents, $26 a year. It adds up to the provincial coffers, but per person? Negligible. Do something to address the real expenses if you want to help. This 1% helps the 1% most.

www.socialmediatoday.com/news/linkedi... It's not AI-tools, LinkedIn's algorithm has been extremely favorable to personal accounts recently.

This is a sign of larger algorithmic changes.

Immediately unfollowing a lot of birder content now that I'm back. Wow really got into birding there for a second.

Anyone that I connected with here before still using Bluesky? Or am I screaming into the ether?
October 21, 2024 at 9:39 PM
What's the adoption rate for Bluesky? Is the platform growing?
