I suppose it’s possible Musk just sticks with it interminably, burning through his own cash in a desperate attempt to rebuild his credibility? But I doubt it. What do you guys think?

Ah, the illegal fake review scheme that can cause them to lose their store. It would be a shame if they got reported...

lol yeah, the best part is the postcard says "for your safety, don't include this postcard in your photo in your review"

Given the surge of interest in Twitter's future, we thought this would be a good time to clarify the relationship between Bluesky and Twitter.

🤯 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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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!
