First day of funemployment. Something I have learned is that if I so choose, I can watch “real life police car ambulance stories” style tv shows 24/7. There are SO many of them. It’s basically all that’s on freeview, that and strange quizzes with very elaborate sets.
Very quickly Twitter has become where I rage, X is the shiny smooth brained version of me and this is where I shit post because it still feels like a little secret place.
In my final week at current job and I wish they’d just let you leave when you’re done rather than having a long arbitrary hanging around period. I negotiated mine down but I could have been spending 3 months just…waiting. Or 2 weeks handing over and 10 weeks waiting to be fair
I do not understand how they are saying “tronc” with a straight face.
It’s like as soon as there’s a buzzword people lose their damn minds and forget that what matters is the problem you’re solving - tech advancements come and go.
I really hope at some point soon people stop seeing “AI” as the hammer for every nail. Like yes it has a lot of interesting applications, but a loooot of what people are touting it for can still be done fine by regular non LLM driven computer software.
Ooh I’ll try that, through habit I’ve been relying on the default feed and it does just feel like I missed my chance at the in group but I’m obviously looking in the wrong places
Ok so that one skeet about being lonely has drawn such a wonderfully interesting group of peeps to my feed! Ok BlueSky, you’re growing in me.
Always happy to sit in a corner with you ❤️
It’s the lovely Fam! https://instagram.com/famtattooer butterfly I got when he was still an apprentice, he’s been fantastic from day one
Bugs ‘n’ blades
Yeah I hope so - right now I’m getting Clubhouse vibes a bit, like I’m a part of something special but also not really because I’m sitting in a corner by myself
I feel like I don’t have the right “clique” for Blue Sky. I keep seeing folk say how lovely it is but I feel like a massive imposter here, and my feed feels very lonely. It’s like everyone came with their in group but I just rocked up with an invite they weren’t meant to give me.
I wanna give all the new doodlybops a fair shot but there is just so.much.noise. I suppose at least the chambers all have different echoes
Too Many Microblogs
@jay.bsky.team any plans for a Blue Sky API once it’s out of beta? Academic Twitter was dealt a blow by being unable to do large scale research on Twitter data, so be nice to be able to regain that ability in the new world
The man who started this company sold his company to the man who just challenged the owner of the third company to a fight at Rome’s Colosseum.
Just so we all know where things are at.
Ok I guess I need to try and use this now, also there are some people here I have been missing since they left Twitter so yay for those people!
Finally addressing the FOMO. As a neurodivergent person the need to change social platforms is a wrench so honestly it’s nice to have some familiarity here.
