I put together a basic Xbox custom feed (Xbox + Game Pass mentions).

Will perhaps work on something deeper with future feedbuilding tools (minimum likes, sentiment, etc) if poss.

Nick Nurse: “I don’t vibrate on the frequency of the past.”

That is such a great quote lol

My wife decided randomly she was going to buy me a Pixel 6a and insisted she do it immediately.

2 hours later I got accepted into a marketing/promo program for a half price 7a GODDAMMIT.

Not sure all the refund faffing is worth the $125 difference 😭 🙃

Hot take: When *every* person on bluesky posts about the same thing all at once, all day, it's not charming it's actually insufferable.

Custom feeds can't come soon enough.

Couple quick bluesky meta questions:

Why does link fetch fail every time I use it (web, Android)? Is it working on iOS only, or some other reason?

How do you format links in a post like this from kottke "[read more]"?

Tatum with 51 in a win-or-go-home game. NBA record for points in a Game 7.

At one point in this series Tatum was shooting 1-22.

Incredible.

Hunting invite chains for bad actors is a largely pointless exercise. It won't scale, and the entire point of this whole thing is not that it's a closed door private club anyway. It's also trivial to socially engineer an invite code, or people might just pass them on.
No lie I think I may have invited this person - I have been given a bunch of invite codes and have been giving them away pretty liberally to people that ask.

I apologize and will not continue to give them out so randomly. I do not endorse this in any way.

report, block, get someone to look at the invite chain

My fav painting at NGV Melbourne. Stunning in person. Always try and get in to see it whenever I'm in the city.

The Heat just have more gamers than the Knicks, man. Jimmy, Bam, Lowry. NY have one real guy, and a 6'9" chucker.

When thing get tight, chucking ain't enough.

@pfrazee.com "Follow" would be a nice add here in the overflow on a single skeet view...

The in-app feature for custom algorithms will be released soon, but we wanted to make this starter kit available for development now.

When the in-app feature is released, custom feeds will feel like visiting a page. When you subscribe, it will appear in your app as one of the available feeds.

Had a dream last night that the 2000s Portland Trailblazers were playing this year's Golden State Warriors in the playoffs and were beating them by 50 points. And the ball was Wilt Chamberlains head.

Why has the word "unserious" gained so much usage in the last year? 🤔

Blogged about watching Twitter die and Bluesky come alive. I think it might also help explain why being on here can feel so good. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2023/05/social-media-status-twitter-blue-checks-bluesky/673987/
