What feeds do you recommend for a good bsky experience? I want to kick the Discover feed to the curb, but I'm trying to think of what value I get from it so I can replace it with other feeds. First on the list are the top posts from follows and mutuals feed.

It's funny how often I think about making a purchase and then think about the food I would rather buy for that amount of money.

Do I want to be a $20 houseplant, or would I rather spend that money on Taco Bell?

KOSA is being reintroduced today.

It's always been a dangerous censorship bill.

But in this environment, with Trump weaponizing every aspect of the Federal government to suppress speech he doesn't like, KOSA is a catastrophic attack on human rights.

We have to stop it.

Stop KOSA
KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

They let me organize the slack, which means they empowered me to choose the naming convention, which means they submitted to my terrible iron rule of channel prefixes. You wanted to create a "law" channel? I am the "law" channel. And it should have a chat- prefix.

Many people are thinking about ditching various US tech giants so I thought I'd try out how far I can go. I tried living about a month with as little Google, Microsoft, Apple & co as possible!

@marathonthegame.bungie.net can I play you on Linux or no?

Has a more "Linux is neat" crowd emerged on bsky like on Mastodon? Or are you still more likely to hear folks struggling.

Not saying the struggle is bad or not valid, just wondering what the vibe is.

President Trump said he will continue to restrict The Associated Press’ access to his events and news conferences until the outlet goes along with his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico in its reports. He acknowledged that the move was a presidential retaliation against AP's editorial policy.
