@aaronpk where is the docs on the custom domains. I couldn’t find it in the app. Just folks talking about doing it.

There's no docs yet, but some people figured out the right API calls to run on their account outside the app. It wasn't too hard, but they're going to add a UI to the app for it soon so there's no point in writing up the workaround instructions anyway

How to use your own domain as your BlueSky handle

I recently got access to the BlueSky beta, and decided to poke around to see what it's all about. I will save the details of what it is and how I feel about it for a different post. However, one of the first things you do when you sign up is choose a username that exists under the bsky.app domain. I have zero interest in another name rush where everyone tries to claim the shortest username possible, so I went with aaronpk.bsky.app rather than trying to get a or apk.

We worked for more or less every big tech company.

We grew fast and made money. I think that's what you are referring to when you say independently wealthy?

That I independently made my money, as opposed to say, inherited an emerald mine.

The cool thing about Elon Musk owning Twitter is that now everyone gets a taste of the quality and reliability that are hallmarks of the Tesla ownership experience.

@rabble @aaronpk i'm more curious about how you set up cross-posting tbh; the "Applications model" page in their docs has a reasonable example to create a post but i wish there was more detail about each method. i post a lot of pics and it seems like there's support for blob uploads but i can't find documentation on how to hook everything together

Yeah the docs are rough around the edges still. One tip I got was to look at the tests for examples! https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/tree/main/packages/pds/tests

I just did text posts for now, next step will be image uploads.

the highway on the left moves 300,000 people every day

the subway line on the right moves 1.3 million people every day, with zero disruption to the street grid above.

gotta say, this thread where an employee who had access cut over a week ago with no word from hr very sincerely tries to figure out if he was fired (he was) only to get repeatedly belittled and mocked by his boss, the richest man in the world, is real fucking infuriating, man

I have never envied a skill more than someone who can receive a deadline..let’s say a week out. Calculate it’ll take 20 hours of work and then evenly spread that out throughout the week.

Forcing an employee trying to get paid to prove their worth in front of 100 million people.
Mocking their work. Mocking their disability.
If you don’t understand Musk is a horror show, something is fundamentally broken inside you.

@netwolfuk not without obs or a virtual camera

or you can add the graphics on an external device like an ATEM Mini! No extra CPU load, your computer sees it as just a webcam.

It's absolutely wild to me that companies will mail me a postcard a few weeks after an Amazon purchase and offer a $150 gift card to leave a review! Is that really profitable? Are they actually going to make back $150 because of my one review?

@aaronpk I am a proud owner of a beach tent which was sent to us unsolicited and unannounced in order to get a good review I believe.

well that's a thing.

It is slightly different tho because them sending you a $150 object doesn't actually cost them $150. This is an offer of straight up cash.

@aaronpk ya but ATEM is expensive

$195 for the base model will do it! That's certainly a lot less than the computer cost!

🤯 Wait... Did I just witness someone troll Elon Musk out of $100 million dollars?

In front of everyone?

On his own website?!

By baiting Elon into trolling him?!

Did I just see the greatest troll of all time?

That’s awesome. I actually use Quill daily for posting and testing. I ended up finding omnibear which does most of what I want. It even detects if a site supports webmentions and displays a “W” during the reply. Omnibear definitely leaves a bit to be desired, but does the job. Is your Quill bookmarklet public?

Nice! hmm, I thought the bookmarklet was in Quill itself, but now that I'm looking for it it's only there for bookmarks and favorites. Well the secret is to make a bookmarklet to `https://quill.p3k.io/new?reply=https://example.com`, the JS should be similar to how the bookmark bookmarklet works though.
