We had a super weird sky in Reno the other day. I think it was due to a high thin layer of clouds, so the sky was white, and then dark clouds on a white background. The photo only partly captures it:

Must… resist… urge… to armor… the tail…

I literally just followed whichever tpot names I recognized, even if I don’t follow them on Twitter 😂

Never go full Descartes

For some reason I now think the single most important thing Bluesky needs to work on is muting threads 🤔

I really shouldn’t have done that :(

It’s quite underrated. I got my first exposure to coding that way too

Also I graduated HS early and worked construction for a year before college, VERY underrated for future white collar workers to be able to look at a new physical object that exists because of you

Oddly I met a lot of my formative teenage friends in the StarCraft modding community

True, match made in Heaven

Okay but seriously the vast majority of poasting is meta-level stuff about Bluesky, we need to populate it with actual object-level content to be a real platform

It was *really* great for a while, honestly. Scale hurt, it turned into a live podcasting service (which… isn’t exactly a bad idea either, but it didn’t feel like the spirit of the thing)

Haha your kid seems awesome!

*blaring bagpipes*

It’s weirdly concentrated *just* in our specific social circle

It algorithmically chooses to include new people but the posts are still chronological

Omg thank you I just started looking because of this post

But honestly I don’t see what I’d do differently on Bluesky, which might kill it in the long run :-/

Facebook for me is very clearly “this is a personal site for personal friends, and I know with decently high probability they’ll see and appreciate it”

Twitter I do have that existential question sometimes, but mostly I use it to gather info, and then post informative mega threads sometimes…
