Al PuzzuoliI know the typical workflow in this situation. Since the phone didn't ask me to confirm if I wanted to send, just stated that it had sent, I checked my message log and in fact, the text hadn't been sent. It's one thing for an AI command to fail, but if it says it has done a thing, we need to be able to trust that it has. Otherwise, the AI becomes useless! #RantModeOff
tiesselune#LRTs : I know the pull to bluesky is strong, but if you fled twitter in the first place, you are placing yourself in the same exact position by joining bluesky: the reasons why "bluesky is better than twitter by design" are yet to be demonstrated, when bluesky has been around for quite a while now. Once they show me true federation maybe I'll reconsider (but the opensourceness will still be missing, I guess), but for now there is no reason to trust them other than "there is big money involved" which is also a strong reason not to trust them.
My two cents: if you want a marketing platform or endless entertainment, sure, go for it. If you want stable connection to real people through social media, be prepared to be disappointed at some point. Maybe not now, but come on, we've seen it before. You know how venture capital-backed free services enshitify once they reach critical mass, with strong trap-like incentives to stay. Look at how unusable the internet is becoming, and how the only usable parts are actually open-source, community-backed and community-driven initiatives.
How healthy are X? Instagram? Facebook ? Google search ? Amazon ? The myriad of fast fashion chinese apps ? Fucking Tiktok? Are any of these good for democracy, the environment, society, your wellbeing? What do they have in common?
Anyway, #rantmodeoff
