Everyone here is playing and experimenting with new ways that social media can be useful instead of draining and bad. It might take a while but the future is obviously here

Also, if Elon Musk didn’t bought Twitter right when my newsletter started to take off, I would very likely be able to make a living out of it

If people don’t read long pieces, why would they be willing to even pay to read them in such large numbers?

Same experience here

My old popularization newsletter is not really online anymore but my pieces were intentionally long and some of them had a very long half life

Leaflet is rapidly becoming *the* best publishing platform

Guys the Polymarket twitter account is not a news source.

Another two AT Proto questions: does migrating keep the app passwords and saved drafts?

New: font options in Leaflet! 🔡

☞ six curated fonts
☞ set for both body & header
☞ option to add *any* Google Font

The Google Font option is fun for adding funky headers…a few examples here :) Also useful for non-English scripts.

More ways to theme your writing with its own special flavor!

To be fair, he also ghosted Twitter for most of his tenure at Twitter

The biggest one being Python itself

Here are some @eurosky.social testimonials from Germany:

"Since I joined Eurosky, I've been promoted, my wife and I sleep in the same bed again, and my children are talking to me again.“

I am glad that Bluesky has now captured all the best parts of #rstats twitter: dank memes, sick burns, hot takes, and flame wars.

Elon Musk is obviously a really bad leader for Xitter but Jack Dorsey was only marginally better

I agree that him leaving the board was a net positive for the company – and AT Proto

I feel like every other day there's a new *thing* in the atmosphere. The academic publishing world is, by all accounts, pretty broken. Chive feels genuinely exciting, with all sorts of amazing possibilities opened up by atproto.

Donc cela veut dire que si je migre, je retrouverai tout de suite ma coche ? (Vu que j’utilise un domaine personnalisé)

I think the easiest way to know would be to test this theory on a test post and see what happens

Based on this page, it seems that manually editing the post would indeed break the CID, as the CID wouldn't be updated properly

Does the feature use a local translation engine or does it call an API somewhere on Google's servers?

Scrolling months, if not years, of posts to find one post to dunk on was a core “weapon” used during these bathtub naval battles

Some people really need to touch grass

I have seen people destroying their own mental health, sometimes for years, just to score Internet points to a crowd of like 50 people or something

I call these “bathtub naval battles”: as with real naval battles, you can get actual trauma, but you fought for literally nothing of value
