It would be nice if we could import our Twitter backup to Bluesky.

Also, it would be great if Twitter usernames were mapped to Bluesky ones during import

When I worked in the Presidio I would ride the 24 almost end-to-end daily. The two ends of this route are different worlds in the same city..

So much of my life has been spent on this bus watching San Francisco slowly pass by..

These Apple at 50 interviews with execs from back in the day are great!

It’s also the first time I’ve heard anyone from Apple publicly talk about the Fingerworks acquisition and how it was the basis for multitouch on iPhone.

Still waiting for Fingerworks TouchStream 2.0!

The California sourdough pizza sitting on a dark wood cutting board. The pizza crust shows lots of leoparding. The pizza is topped with a green pesto sauce and overflowing with fresh mozzarella with green basil use on top.

Graph of traffic tickets issued by year in San Francisco

After a period of near-zero enforcement of traffic laws and increasing pedestrian deaths, San Francisco now has speed cameras

If you want a dosa after work, this bus picks up at the SF Transit Center and drops off right in front of Bangalore Blues

Musk: “I mean we store the energy in antimatter!”

Board: “And then what? We ship antimatter to earth?”

Musk: “mars”

Board: “Sorry we ever doubted you! It all makes sense now!”

Musk: “This merger will take us to Kardashev II, which means we will be capturing all 10^26 watts of energy from the sun!”

SpaceX Board: “The earth needs 10^17 watts of energy, how will we survive?”

Musk: “CP Violation!”

Board: “look we talked about this and you need to shut Grok down!”

I had to give up checking my Gmail the other day because I couldn’t figure out the captcha, and then couldn’t figure out the second and third ones it gave me either

A label printer that is printing a sticker with a frog in black and the words Don’t Obey is red, in the style of Shepard Fairey’s Andre the Giant stickers

I got a two-color thermal label printer.

The labels visually pop way more than black and white stickers

Here is an Internet Archive skill for Claude Code: github.com/rajbot/inter...

Install it and then you can prompt Claude to:

"Search Internet Archive for vintage computer manuals"

and then

"Download the first five of them"

So far, neither Claude Code with Opus 4.5 and Google Gemini with 3.0 Pro think they can one-shot photoshop.

I propose a new metric called Photoslop, which measures how closely an AI coding tool can one-shot Photoshop in a single prompt.

I love the pattern of compiling rust libraries and cli tools to webassembly and hosting them on a static webpage so people can easily try them out.

I needed a MPEG-TS to MP4 converter library, and now you can try it here: www.bitstream.io/ts-to-mp4/

Was this violence always there, but less visible when it was targeted to only Black people?

Ok, are you using ffmpeg? I made a rust library for MPEG TS-> MP4 conversion to make it easier to deploy as a single binary in AWS lambda

@jimray.bsky.team is there a way developers can embed Bluesky videos? Right now for my Slack app I am downloading the MPEG-TS stream, containerizing it as MP4, and uploading to Slack. ^

Is there a better way?

Bluesky videos don't unfurl in Slack, so I added video importing to my bluesky-helper slack app.

It now both unrolls threads and imports videos into Slack for you:
