As an engineer for 10+ years with pretty severe ADHD (unmedicated, I cannot usually even read more than a few pages of a book before either losing focus or feeling drained) I have always been aware of how much my performance fluctuates base

One of the most fundamental elements of a movie or show is that characters will be thrown into conflict that will challenge them and will come out on the other side (or not) changed in one way or another. That's at the macro level -- a

People have been continuingly trying to say "content is garbage, the writers on strike weren't any good anyway" and such throughout this whole ordeal. But there's a lot of content for a reason--we each have our preferenc

Sure, it's both sides trying to survive a little longer than the other, but the studios are also better positioned to create or run this hypothetical app. Throughout the years, the one thing that has remained unchanged is that the powe

I find it interesting that the Director's Guild agreement (which was agreed to by the studios in about five minutes) included the acknowledgement that A.I. is not a person and cannot/will not be used in place of humans for any job

No actors will be able to do this unless SAG-AFTRA negotiates it. SAG-AFTRA does not just represent household names, it's all actors, 160,000 people whether you're the star of feature films or the guy with one line in one episode

They are a union. They negotiate as a collective. And its members voted to the tune of 98% in favor of the strike.

It’s both, actually, so I’ll concede that. But I’m emotional about it because I’ve been a user for 16 years, it was the only social media I really used and got value out of, and that has completely changed for me as it has for countless oth

Actually, one of the big points of contention right now over at bluesky is how easily anyone can easily anonymously scrape all its data. Behold, one of many available sites that broadcast the firehose: https://firesky.tv/ C

I mean, if by "exactly like twitter blue" you mean "charging people money for things" then sure. But you're generalizing beyond the point where the comparison is useful or a pejorative

The thing is, there is no @mark, if you have @mark on bluesky, your username is actually @mark.bsky.social. Every user is attached to a domain name no matter what, so this feature lets you at least use your own instead of theirs.

Two @ symbols? I think you're thinking of how Mastodon works. Bluesky doesn't work that way. Your username is the domain itself, not @username@domain. If you own the domain brian.pizza, your username can be @brian.pizza. If many u

But you see, there is no @mark. There is @mark.bsky.social (on the app instance that we currently call Blue Sky) but when federation happens and people start running their own instances, those users will be namespaced on a different domai

Actually, bluesky has supported custom domains since the very beginning (the Namecheap deal is the part of this story that is actually new/noteworthy) and it is very widely-used. I am unsure what % of active users are using their own d

But there's a key difference: If your friends aren't on Bluesky yet, it's quite possibly because they haven't gotten an invite code yet. Plenty of people are very interested and waiting to join. I've been inviting f

I must say, the number of people in here saying bluesky is dead because of Threads' overnight growth is surprising and upsetting. Believing all that matters is how fast they get users is hugely missing the point. Bluesky has been takin

It's not like it's going to remain this way permanently, a lot is still under development. It's not just about infra scale, they are still hammering out things like how moderation will work, and that is the sort of thing best

Everyone on bluesky loves the invite system because it has ensured growth doesn’t overwhelm still-developing features like how moderation works, it has encouraged people to generally invite non-assholes since their own reputation is at stak

Well Threads currently doesn’t even have a chronological, non-algo feed I can look at, whereas on bluesky you can have any number of feeds with whatever algo/logic you want. I don’t think I’ll be using Threads much while the one and on

So there’s no art in comics or animation either? Pixar’s Best Picture-nominated “Up” is too lowbrow, shallow, and lacking of artistic quality?
