Treasure Map on how to disable X #Grok #AI 🤖 - training on your user data :)

Recently they quietly added the data sharing opt-out to the settings menu

- only "To continuously improve your experience..." of course 😋

Doing this, they are in good "COMPANY" with the likes of #Meta.

So Lorne's Lure is Dominic's topmost wtf you've never heard of it but it's great 2024, but mine?

Mine is Extreme Evolution Drive To Divinity

It's a third person 3D metroidvania. Sort of. Except with none of the parts you'd expect of a metroidvania, and a transcendent (literal) aesthetic

Paul Graham tweet, "In the last couple days about 8-10 of the accounts I follow have independently mentioned that they're on Bluesky. These aren't whiny leftists performatively quitting. This seems an authentic trend."

How many Manosphere podcasters and YouTubers spend a lot of time in feminist or queer spaces?
Conservative white Evangelicals with Jews, Muslims, atheists, etc.?
And so on.
These “echo chamber” and “bubble” accusations mostly go one way, and often amount to “you must spend your time listening to me”

Never fails to make me smile that we literally ran Jack out of his own damn site, and the remaining management/team basically yelled "and don't let the door hit your ass"

Folks Jack Dorsey has zero to do with Bluesky. Early on he was spouting his usual bullshit about unmoderated platforms and the users chased him off the site. (He doesn’t believe in moderation but can’t handle getting yelled at.) Not long after that he quit the board and washed his hands of the site.

Someone You Can Build A Nest In will drop in paperback on April 15, 2025! I'm ecstatic to share that Barnes & Noble is doing a special edition of the paperback, complete with sprayed edges and an eerie revamped color scheme! I cannot wait to hold one of these. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/someone-yo...
The cover for John Wiswell's Someone You Can Build A Nest In, but some elements are different. The night sky is now purple, and the details on Homily, Shesheshen, the chains, and everything else are done in eerie greens. The edges of the pages are also sprayed vibrant purple.

I just want y'all to know that women of any political stripe probably find this less funny than progressive men do. The fact that we're having to whisper-network the right to vote our conscience tells you a whole, whole lot about life as a woman in America.

With the upcoming fall back of our clocks, back to standard time......

I want world-wide permanent standard time and time zones that are just one straight line in even 15 degree increments so that timekeeping becomes greatly simplified.

I FUCKING hate daylight savings time.
In 1895, George Hudson, an entomologist from New Zealand, first proposed the idea of a two-hour time shift so he could have more after-work hours of sunshine in the summer. While no change came into effect after Hudson’s suggestion, the idea resurfaced again a few decades later in Germany. In 1915, the German government began brainstorming ways to save energy for battle during the First World War. During this time, they needed their citizens to reduce the use of artificial light and conserve scarce resources like fossil fuels. Their solution was to have more daylight during working hours by pushing the clocks forward one hour in the springtime. It was believed that adjusting the time would encourage people to use less energy to light up their homes and reserve important resources for the war. The first iteration of Daylight Saving Time was officially implemented two years into the First World War in Germany. After Germany established this practice, almost every other country that fought in the war followed suit, including Canada, the United States and much of Europe. In 1918, the Canadian government formally introduced Daylight Saving Time as a way to increase production during wartime. With the end of the First World War, the federal government ceased Daylight Saving Time, but resumed the practice during the Second World War. During the Second World War, Daylight Saving Time was used all year round in Canada. While the concept of Daylight Saving Time originated with the principle of saving energy, today, critics say that there are still other ways to consume energy, including watching TV, running fans, using heaters and driving. According to critics, these energy-consuming activities will occur regardless of whether an hour of daylight is saved or not. Today, not all jurisdictions in Canada and the United States observe Daylight Saving Time. Saskatchewan, the Yukon, Arizona and parts of Northern BC are places where this practice is not recognized. In BC, the …

“Black Insurrectionist,” the anonymous social media persona behind some of the most widely circulated conspiracy theories about the 2024 election, can be traced to a man from upstate New York.

Our lead, Blockchain Capital, shares our view that tech should serve people, not the reverse, and their extensive experience with dev communities is helpful as we invest in the ATmosphere.

This does not change the fact that the Bluesky app and @atproto.com do not use blockchains or cryptocurrency.
