Hey new followers! 👋
This is my personal account. I sometimes post about:
- photography, books, movies
- (ex)religion, misinformation/info literacy, political extremism
- business, software, community
My day job is running a SaaS company in the devtools space.
Welcome to Bluesky. 🦋

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

Does anyone know how llms.txt is _actually_ being used by AI models and tooling? In my research so far, the format is very specific, and many people aren't following it correctly. How are these files being consumed in practice?

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

One of the things I learned teaching search literacy is that search sucks because the world wide web doesn't exist anymore. The blogs that held it together with links are paywalled, big publishers paywall and don't link, the platforms users post to don't link. You're left with reddit and Wikipedia.
I need accounts like this to actually link to the story they’re citing. If I have the right link, this strikes me as an overstatement.
