So #Bluesky is looking for a new board member to replace Jack Dorsey who initiated the project, got it funded, then gradually got less interested and now dropped out without much explanation.
I'm afraid that is not a ringing endorsement of the project.
First beet #harvest of the year. I got to watch it, because when I don’t harvest them in time, they first get stuck and grow into my growing baskets, and then burst them. But otherwise beets grow really well in my backyard #hydroponics system.
This batch gets pickled, and works really well with things such as hummus.
So I got a whole bunch of 10-month old @chrismessina.me@bsky.brid.gy posts from Bluesky in my Mastodon feed today. Bridgy Fed must be working! But is that date mapping working as designed @snarfed ?
In case you are thinking humanity is getting CO2 #emissions under control, I have this graph for you.
This is not the absolute CO2 level in the atmosphere, but its growth rate. Think for a second what this growth rate would have to be so we can stay below 1.5 or 2deg warning.
Right, this growth rate would have to be negative: fewer emissions this year than last year.
Of course, it's not. It's worse, much worse. The growth is still growing!! It's not even constant.
Over on #Threads, my "Following" feed does consistently have more things in it that are interesting to me than my "For you" feed.
I've been observing this for a few weeks now, and it's consistent.
Seem the cost function might be optimizing for something other than what I like? Or is the signal not good enough because I don't "like" or such enough?
