Need some more pictures here, as everybody else is posting plenty of pictures. So, I will start with what I thought was a pretty good recent picture of me.

I am pleasantly amazed that BlueSky allows porn, and anybody can sign up and see it all. No age verification or payment required or other gatekeeping. I wonder how they get away with it? Are they just flying under the radar and hoping the bad guys don't notice? I hope they avoid being shut down.

Watching Google shutter things that actually worked, like Google Play Music, and now Google Podcasts, to turn them into YouTube Music is like someone coming into your kitchen who takes away your blender and kettle then lets you know you'll now only be able to boil water or blend things in your car.

@bitcoinocean.bsky.social This new Bitcoin mining pool looks interesting. Reading about how it directly pays from the coinbase transaction, and how it handles shares, remind me very much of P2Pool which I used to use, back when I had miners that were worth anything. The innovation is its simplicity.

Slick looking Twitter clone. One big usability failure so far: on the Blue Sky login screen, if you switch to another app, both your username and your password are erased. So, if you use a password manager to help you remember passwords, cutting and pasting back and forth, you are stuck if on phone.

Hello, is this thing on? Nice to be here. I am curious how this differs from Threads and Mastodon. I am mastodon.social/@krellan on Mastodon.
