I've reached a point where I have a bunch of recurring subscriptions I don't use. It's exciting because when I finally get around to cancelling them, I'm going to be so rich!

I don’t really understand what it means that is somehow now connected to the ? If I have an account there on bluesky, will I now have two accounts in the Fediverse?

@serenebabe At least for now, it’s opt in. From bluesky, you follow the account “@ap.brid.gy” and then an account is created on the bridgyfed instance that mirrors the posts from that account. For example, my mirrored account from Bluesky is @jbaer.bsky.social

@serenebabe Essentially, yeah. Though I mostly did that to try the tech. I think it’s more useful for people who only want to post in one place, but want to be able to interact with people in other places.

At this point, I think Threads and Bluesky are each preventing the other from engulfing the decentralized social web, and I think it might be the best possible scenario for the growth of a non-corporate segment (here).

I think is spot on. The culture has changed (and Apple doesn’t see it). But also Apple’s place in the culture has changed and it is just another tech giant. I would argue, though, that’s down to Apple itself, and its behaviour. https://daringfireball.net/linked/2024/05/09/dhh-crush

@jannem @ianbetteridge The weirdest thing for me was the doll with its eyes bulging out. That was straight up horror. There’s a cultural precedent for guitar smashing and paint exploding. That could almost be passed off as some kind of rock-and-roll ethos. But it feels like they went out of their way to be explicitly mean spirited.

Something I could maybe imagine using an LLM for (running locally), would be for reviewing/summarizing things I've written, for myself.

At least a 30% chance the Kennedy campaign embraces brainworms, sells shirts, etc.

I think this would be a terrible
move…

RFK Jr.'s brainworms are a good reminder to us all to be careful about the waters we swim in.

Would Action Network be the best (i.e. cheapest acceptable) email list service for activist college students looking to reach out to alumni?

Feeling more optimistic about the fedi today

My parents tell a story about how as a kid, I'd be off somewhere in my head, and then out of the blue pronounce "I changed my mind." More time would pass, and then I'd declare, similarly without explanation, "I changed my mind again."

plus ça change, etc

Trying to build a system to scaffold your brain is such a tricky business, because you have to balance the tools available, how you want things to work, and openness to ways that might work better.

@exchgr lol jinx - yeah I've been using it but I don't like how it does subtasks. Need something much more freeform for planning projects, like an outliner.

misc,
@misc@mastodon.social avatar

@exchgr Unfortunately it's spoiled me with how well it does what it does well! I'm afraid every makeshift solution I come up with is gonna feel horribly janky by comparison.

@kcase Interesting! Time to give it another whirl. I think I last tried it in v1, and tbh felt a little overwhelmed, both on functionality and price… but I am staff at an educational institution so at least the latter problem might be manageable. And OmniOutliner was my first love in the outliner space…
