    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

    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.

    you tell me which is more efficient https://twitter.com/ryanstrug/status/1633127061156950018

    @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

    Aaron Parecki
    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 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.

    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.

  • 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.

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

    Aaron Parecki
    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

    Today I learned that when Twitter acquired @uenodotco in 2021, @iamharaldur quietly negotiated for the acquisition price to be paid as salary so he could pay 46% in taxes instead of 22%, in gratitude to his education in Finland.

    An especially stark contrast in character today.

    Idea: Micropub Browser Extension For Replies

    Aaron Parecki
    It's a great idea! I did a lightweight version of that which is a bookmarklet in my browser toolbar to Quill, where it prefills the reply URL to the page I'm on. It's how i reply to most tweets now actually! (https://quill.p3k.io)

    @aaronpk gotosocial is that easy too.

    Aaron Parecki
    It looks nice! But I'm talking about as easy as adding a DNS record without having to run my own instance at all. Are there many hosting providers for GoToSocial?

    In AP, to use your own domain as your actual identity, you pretty much have to run your own full on instance. You can get half way there with the WebFinger setup so people can search, but even that is harder than a DNS entry. BlueSky got the split between domain and underlying identity and service right.

    I'm glad to see that BlueSky supports custom domains! I have zero interest in sitting on a username in the bluesky namespace. Setting it up was roughly the same as pointing your own domain to a hosting provider, and a lot easier than Mastodon/ActivityPub!

    Some parts of Twitter may not be working as expected right now. We made an internal change that had some unintended consequences. We’re working on this now and will share an update when it’s fixed.
