I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me.

In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.

“hole in the ozone layer” levels of erasure. my mom was a project manager who busted her ass for years to make sure IBM was ready for Y2K and completely succeeded, only for it to get turned into a late night joke. funny how the stories of mass collective action to avoid disaster rarely get told
DAMMIT NPR.

I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded.

Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

People feared the computer glitch would mean "the end of the world as we know it." Thankfully, Y2K didn't live up to the hype after years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation.

For the millions of newbies:

BlueSky does not have an algorithm.

Like means: "I like it."

Reskeet/repost/whatever: "I like it and I want others to see it."

Likes do not help visibility, only a reskeet does that, sharing to your followers, who can make their own choices.

You are the algorithm.

Reason two: There actually *are* other algorithms, they're called "feeds". E.g. "Quiet Posters" surfaces people who post infrequently. Maybe you don't want the mutual who posts one good thought a day lost among the terminally-online. Subscribe and they won't be! (3/3) bsky.app/profile/did:...
