Omfg you kept sending stuff while I was typing a response

Well now the thread is all over the place

Once again: two cakes. If you hate how bsky got it's money can you instead start saying "hmm I'll help people by telling them about resources to migrate as they come available which they inevitably will because this is an open source thing" instead of JUST spewing hate?? Like come on

Like I'm getting the feeling you just kinda want bsky dead for the "I told you so" cred. But that's fuckin dumb. And if you really wanted to help folks you'd be spreading more info geared at helping people understand the platform-- BOTH platforms, and making sure they know they have control here

Because at the end of the day these things take time. Ecosystems do not grow overnight. Like where was your favorite two or three years in? Bskys real issue is that there isn't enough resources to spin up your own shit yet.

And yet I'm still seeing very smart people expand the ecosystem

You keep coming back to the stupid VC thing acting like if they closed sourced this today it doesn't have the traction for a fork

And it's not like over MORE years that the plan of people using mast in any serious capacity ever came true. Atproto is still new. It doesn't matter what you or I want

More people will migrate to pdss over the years and if there's a bsky-caused impetus to jump ship.... They can just jump to a PDS and what not. They aren't completely without options. Funny enough that's an advantage that atproto has that... You're just ignoring

Your bsky hate boner still doesn't make sense to me because you've only really brought up issues that mastodon also has, to different levels.

The main mast instance has this issue. And yes more people are on bskys pds as a percentage, but I'd attribute that to the fact that it's NEW.

I am in no pot?? Well I guess I am right now but only because I haven't spun up my PDS yet

Bsky itself sure but I genuinely don't care because... Well before anything gets scary my data will be on a PDS.

Again I don't get how we're not seeing that both these things can and should coexist

And the very second bsky tries to close source atproto or some crazy shit you best believe I'll be their number one hater but same goes for mastodon

Again we... have two cakes and should encourage the (non fucking ai) development for both

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me; there are no real stakes to fear so long as bsky is, like mastodon, free and open source. As a matter a fact bsky has some unique advantages.

Regardless though this isn't about "choosing one to die on a hill for" it's about having options. Two cakes is great.

Update #2: Quicksilver, a detector for AI-generated music.

Most folks today are not aware that AI-generated music (entire songs generated by AI models) are growing rapidly. Today, there are more AI-generated songs than human-created songs arriving each week on platforms like Spotify.

It's not like Bluesky is the "full community". No platform is or should be.

I was mid sentence and this made me full STOP

"Porn I swear" is insanely cooked lmfaooo

Tyty- nah nothing interesting. I just try and use a color I haven't yet for the background and then just pick a random other color for the rim lighting

Picture of a burning hillside where a warehouse used to be A California distribution warehouse for the consumer products of giant Kimberly-Clark burned to the ground on Tuesday and an employee has been taken into custody under suspicion of arson. The sixth alarm fire required 175 firefighters to contain. A video circulating online, reportedly taken by the agreed worker shows them setting fire to several pallets of toilet paper while calmly repeating "all you had to do was pay us enough to live."

"All you had to do was pay us enough to live"

Forces of capitalism, these are the Canaries in your coal mine.

Pay attention to them.

Might be important.

Just might be.

If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

Thank God I'm not the only one who thought about this song

Check out Wordpress with Bricks Builder if you know your way around HTML and CSS.

Also stay AWAY from anything where if the company goes belly up you lose your site. Or if they just decide they want more cash out your pockets 🤷‍♂️

Suddenly Imma start posting about how Track 1: Install the Brainworm is something everyone should try

Thanks for the rec though! Boosting this up my backlog for sure now

See this is what I'm saying- I have never heard someone be normal about this album, only heard unabashed love for it lolol. like I'm clearly missing the experience of the century.

Hell I searched the albums name and there was a thumbnail that just said something like "best edm album in ten years"
