Since 2008, I’ve loved the idea of Twitter — what it was supposed to be. More and more I dislike what it has become, though. So let’s see if Mastodoesn’t make the same mistakes.
I will talk aboutBoard games. Software, apps, and digital tools.
I may talk aboutMusic. Twitter. Whatever is the topic of the day. Pictures I took. Rats.
I will not talk aboutBrazil.

I was just posting about @phanpy on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/bracht.bsky.social/post/3lkoadihszc2i), so I thought of dropping by and asking: any chance at all it will ever support bsky?

If anyone is building an alternative Bluesky client with #atproto, I'd deeply appreciate if you'd take some clues from Mastodon's Phanpy — especially the way it clumps "boosts" (reposts without quotes) in a single horizontally scrolling panel. Phanpy is really good. phanpy.social

The Verge is such a great website, and the design on their features (especially this one) blows me away. https://www.theverge.com/c/23972308/twitter-x-death-tweets-history-elon-musk
The year Twitter died: a special series from The Verge

Twitter was many things: a news accelerator, a harassment engine, and an infinite joke machine. It will be missed.

The sad story of a former Disney exec who became an Instagram wellness influencer, following his wife’s footsteps, but the fickleness of internet popularity ended their marriage and drove him into alcoholism. He died this year. 😞 There is definitely a downside of social media when it comes to getting hooked on people following & liking you and being upset at those that don’t. The risk of it becoming unhealthy increases when you decide to make you living as an influencer. https://www.wsj.com/style/dave-rachel-hollis-disney-1ffac082

After reading these deliberations, I'm very much looking forward to seeing what iA Writer's «cautious response to AI» will look like.

No AI Feature

After a year of observation, experimentation, and testing, we may have found a careful response to the challenges we face with AI.

Low on money? Play indie games.
Switch batteries die too fast? Play indie games.
Storage full? Play indie games.
Tired of AAA gaming’s incessant lowest common denominator design and unfinished buggy releases? Play indie games.
Tired of mobile gaming’s predatory monetization practices? Play indie games.

Just play indie games!

Corin Tucker, whose band Sleater-Kinney took the Stripes on tour with them a year later, describes being “floored” the first night. “They had an insane chemistry, and Meg’s playing was incredibly instinctual, hypnotic, and unique,” she says. “Frankly, they were a tough act to follow. We all knew that first night that they would be famous.” (Five years later, the prediction materialized when the band invited Sleater-Kinney to open for them at Washington’s Gorge Amphitheatre.)

Searching for Meg White

It’s been over a decade since we’ve heard from the elusive White Stripes drummer. Could renewed attention over a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination coax her back into the spotlight?
