Ferret Lord, Mach Minotaur and Algebra Alien - what is this, some kind of RPG session party, new MCU phase, or a really weird band? 😛 https://lab.martianbase.net/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:oio4hkxaop4ao4wz2pp3f4cr&cid=bafkreigmiho55soyecneiw7kv2bhmrmamqbhunjwozmmlcdbxvn3wqsfzy

15 Years for Instagram to come to iPad! We're talking going back to the days of Steve Jobs, iTunes Ping, the era of iPods, AirPort, & the iPhone 4.

Imagine you're building a social app and using some database service called FloobarDB to store data, and one day the news breaks that OpenAI is buying FloobarDB, and you haven't even heard the news, but you open your app and people are saying "omg this app is enshittifying, gotta ruuunnn!" RE:

hypervigilance is definitely a big factor, but yeah, this sort of approach is destructive when it becomes irrational I'd rather see people worry "...

Oh… oh no. I'm getting likes on my comments from a thread 6 months ago with Aaron about the Roost AI moderation tools… [a dog is looking at cupcakes o...]( )

I was in a really cool Swiss Museum of Transport today in Lucerne 🙂 So much stuff: 🚙🏎️🚠🚃🚂🚊✈️🛰️🚁🚀⛵️🚢 (all of these!) Made me think - man, humans can be so amazing when we're not terrible… such crazy ideas that were turned into reality by smart and stubborn people, such insane feats pulled off! https://lab.martianbase.net/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:oio4hkxaop4ao4wz2pp3f4cr&cid=bafkreig4fc27oa4mpoimvimjt7gxou7oqo2ckqzumt27btduw7auk6ekiu https://lab.martianbase.net/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:oio4hkxaop4ao4wz2pp3f4cr&cid=bafkreidwwwqwbivl3nqtwynzxaewakder46ubrsgtu326us6u62b7c2a6e https://lab.martianbase.net/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:oio4hkxaop4ao4wz2pp3f4cr&cid=bafkreif55ef7ccqdifeidtouhtbhtj2mxtykbwkqonij2g6emfftj6urqq https://lab.martianbase.net/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:oio4hkxaop4ao4wz2pp3f4cr&cid=bafkreig6vhvxdhj2yhv2buqvzyoweensai65d3gkecgw2t3adi5qo2bdca

I'm trying to add error handling to the code which downloads all liked posts, to figure out exactly why a post wasn't downloaded, depending on what the PDS says about the post/user and what the AppView says about the post/user (deleted? suspended? deactivated?)… and it's starting to look like this 🫠 [a man with a cigarette in his ...]( )
