Sometimes you even get to show off the cool, useful shit you built for them!

Sometimes I’ll copy paste the error message back to them. Apparently it works better when it’s in a text message.

I know it’s supposed to be a joke. Doesn’t seem worth it.

Imagine that I googled for you and linked:

Articles about nationwide protests over the last few weeks

Articles about Teslas burning at dealerships

An article about a GOP headquarters building burning with ICE = KKK written.

Where have you been?

How is he not fired? Incompetence and ignorance is one thing, but when you combine it with effectively insubordination… well, you better be right. And he is not.

This article: Oh no, someone might have to step up and solve this problem in a year or two.

That guy: This is why I can’t use Linux now.

It’s not impossible. There are a lot of crypto grifters who have been prepping to scam the American government.

Because when it’s going away, the absolute number matters. I don’t think anyone disagrees here; just looking at it from different angles.

Oh no, there’s no money or profit motive here. I guess that’s terrible.

Looks like there’s a viable alternative here.

While I understand that, I’m in America. My first priority has to be getting people off of Twitter.

Would I prefer open source, non-profit software? 100%. It’s the smarter and better choice for so many reasons.

But if Bluesky is going to gain critical mass, I’m not going to fight it. I’m having a hard enough time getting people off Twitter. I’ve written the media address of environments I’m familiar with asking them to organize a move, and I mentioned both Bluesky and Mastodon.

And we should just accept that?

You have nothing to hide. Just sign away all your rights.
