lol every time i read ts docs it blows my mind that people use this willingly. i used for one very small project and i will probably never do that again. just use javascript guys!!

I think it’s really clear that he’s just stupid and lucked into success like Elon Musk.

I have seen the quality of the administration’s legal minds. It is Nintendo.

This looks like something you'd see a 12-year-old boy post on Youtube in 2011.

Aside from the childish unseriousness, the thing that just really stands out to be here is just the artistic and cultural leeching. They can't produce anything anyone actually wants to watch themselves so they just pinch a load of clips to repurpose.

oh haha i was wondering. i searched all over the page and didn’t see a timestamp, didn’t think to check the url.

A whole thread of actually-not-super-fun facts about the French Revolution that most people probably don’t know.

More people should play Assassin’s Creed: Unity. For all its flaws, that game doesn’t whitewash the evils of the time and actually made me feel uneasy the entire time I played it.

Why does that article say that Jack Dorsey is on the board of directors at Bluesky? He left a year ago. When was this article written?

oh good we’re doing a world war

Anyone can go to the PDS and view posts by any other user, whether blocked or flagged as “do not show my posts to logged-out users.” That didn’t stop you guys from adding the friction of blocking and “do not show my posts to logged-out users.” Friction deters bad behavior. Surely you recognize this.

The only way for the McDonald’s CEO to make things right is to recreate the Hasselhoff Big Mac video with a Big Arch.

I followed him, then immediately unfollowed him. I got an error saying that it had a problem unfollowing him, but now he’s been removed from the list. His page doesn’t show that I’m following him. I guess that worked?

I pressed the three dots and then hit block. The block confirmation model appeared and then immediately disappeared. Apparently I’m not allowed to unblock Mark Zuckerberg. What is this crap?

The Facebook app lists Mark Zuckerberg as a page that I’m following, but if I tap on the three dots or go directly to his page it shows that I am not following him it gives me the option to do so. Am I being forced to follow him?

The change notes for the new version of Bluesky make it seem like they adopted liquid glass but thankfully they haven’t

hahahahahahahaha privacy-focused email service indeed

"I respect Bernie Sanders because he's an open socialist, and you know that he's a communist so you know what you're getting. Rand Paul's a freaking snake. And I understand completely why his neighbor did what he did. And I told him that to his face."

This is what Markwayne Mullin said about Rand Paul a couple weeks ago.

Anyway, guess who chairs the Senate Homeland Security Committee

cool yeah that’s what Republicans wanna hear right before midterms

this guy sucks

I don’t think they’re gonna let you do that, man

lol

Will he be the first president to hit 0% approval?

very weird: I just opened the app and it was showing me stuff from five days ago. It was like everything had just regressed by a week. Reloading my timeline brought me all the normal stuff I expected to see.

homegirl drop it like THE NASDAQ IS SMASHING RECORDS AND THE DOW IS OVER 50,000

“OK IT’S CHILDISH”

When I said it seems useless to continue, given its limitations, Gemini agreed.

So, I asked for just the quotes from Justice Gorsuch. That didn't go any better, though. The very first quote it attributed to Gorsuch was just made up. It admitted that when I asked.

First, it gave me a list of quotes that clearly wasn't complete. It claimed I was running up against some kind of length limit, and suggested I ask for quotes from one justice at a time. Alright.

Every so often, I check in on the various LLMs to see if there's some way they might be useful to my workflow. This time, I thought maybe Gemini could break out the justice's quotes from a transcript of oral arguments. It did not go well.
