Super bummed by some tech journalists hyping Jack's BlueSky platform.

Elon Twitter sucks, but let's not give Jack a pass here.

OG Twitter wasn't great, either.

Why do you think BlueSky will be any different?

@bjmendelson What frustrates me is how those tech journalists are praising the downtime response and fix of BlueSky's server crashes due to new user's vs how they trashed Mastodon and Fediverse for the same thing.

Your toot made me think about ChatAI and the problem of people who using Google searches for self-diagnosis and then use Google searches for cures and treatments they can DIY based on the self-DX.

ICK.

Thinking about that water rescue...

We had a probation jumper in our local area a while back that thought he could jump in the river to escape, like he was on a western tv show and throwing the posse off his trail, only the river was too strong for him and he needed rescued by the people chasing after him. He was just hanging on, too, when they did.

I live in a rural area. Our jail is still in the back of our courthouse that was built in 1910.

Our hillbilly escapees usually go to their mother's house and get caught eating at the kitchen table.

Although is a serious issue, this RSV by promoting their medication is disruptive in the home and also causes auditory issues for me and others with certain health issues and it needs to get pulled off the air, esp local TV stations

Imagine this going off randomly in your home, esp in surround sound with triggers with your disease.

@krisnelson I was going more for the site downtime but you make a great point.

Report also says NewsNation is also interested in the currently unemployed Carlson. The old WGN?

So much for their slogan, 'NewsNation is your trusted source for breaking news, unbiased U.S. news & video'

'Tucker Carlson gets signals from Newsmax that he can run entire network: TMZ '

I lost 500-600 followers here recently and while I don’t care, I am wondering if I missed some big drama, like an instance getting blocked or people hating my employer or my country or, uh, me. (I was busy and away, not posting, so it is odd.) Just wondering.

paul,
@paul@oldfriends.live avatar

@palafo You're on a @stux instance with moderators @caranmegil and @calculsoberic .

Maybe they could help solve the puzzle.

Maybe an instance somewhere shut down that had some of your followers.

If you have a recent export maybe you could compare, then to now and isolate if it is a particular instance.

paul,
@paul@oldfriends.live avatar

@luthien1126 @palafo Could be. Probably. The thing about blocks, follows and mutuals have to be rebuilt or reconnected. It might take some time. The moderator replied up above they 'can fix this.'

The moderation buttons are ridiculous on the admin side. I imagine they get a lot of frivolous reports. I'm selfhosted with 5 or so accounts and get many silly reports sometimes. I almost blocked my own instance once accidentally closing the report out with no action. Not sure how that would play out

paul,
@paul@oldfriends.live avatar

@palafo

I bet it was from the accidental newsie.social block. I wonder if you lost many there. If you were following any there, you were also disconnected. You might notice not seeing some of them that you followed, though. Several big name accounts.

paul,
@paul@oldfriends.live avatar

@calculsoberic @palafo

I imagine it will take some time for Sidekiq and the other processes to catch up since you have so many users to process unless you folks have some kind of magic over there that does things quickly.

I almost blocked my own domain due to nearly hitting the wrong button dealing with a nuisance report. Not sure how that would have worked out. ;)

No, but sounds like a show I would be interested in.

It looks like an old BBC show and I'm on the other side of the pond.

But, I've found it and will give it a listen.

Just spitballing here... but my son says he'll never ever watch a musical, even if they made a zombie one. This leads me to a great idea. Walking Dead, the musical.... 😂🤣😂🤣🥕

Had to replace the cat trap. The old one had some wear and tear. Ramen has no idea how the chunks went missing out of the sides, and insists the puncture marks are definitely not from teeth. Happy to announce the new trap is working as efficiently as the old one.

@KBaileyBooks 😸 doesn't understand why his doesn't fit anymore so we had to modify his fav box. When he was a kitten he would get in them and sleep. He still sleeps in them.

@KBaileyBooks Both our cats are rescues and immediately took to the empty soda boxes.

They love their small-sided boxes, like yours, but rest in their Coke boxes.

Both love Coca-Cola boxes. takes a smaller box than . 😸
