Sign of the times that not one journalist has demanded that she sing them to the tune of New Rules by Dua Lipa
October 7, 2025 at 8:48 AM UTC Borough Market has definitely fit that description since the early 2000s, if not the late 90s.
October 7, 2025 at 6:11 AM UTC I'm not talking about posts like that. I'm talking about random, unrelated posts from different Bluesky employees.
October 7, 2025 at 4:57 AM UTC This is what I'm getting at. I don't think saying something positive about AI is undermining the community
October 7, 2025 at 4:49 AM UTC Yes. Saying something you disagree with is not the same as saying something hateful, and telling someone to fuck off for it *is* toxicity.
October 7, 2025 at 4:46 AM UTC Ok, I disagree but think it's fine to believe that. The problem is that I often see people replying to a post about AI in the same way they would if that post was itself racist, transphobic or similar. That to me seems seriously disproportionate, and an example of toxicity here.
October 7, 2025 at 4:36 AM UTC So do you believe that saying something positive about AI makes a person evil per se, or just that those people are inevitably evil in some separate way?
October 7, 2025 at 4:23 AM UTC The fact that there are people who consider that saying something positive about AI makes a person evil does explain a lot
October 7, 2025 at 4:12 AM UTC Depends if you consider being a Bluesky employee or saying something positive about AI to be something terrible
October 7, 2025 at 4:03 AM UTC Yes, this is a technical thing. Account moderation is at the AppView level, and Blacksky still uses the Bluesky AppView (though I believe they are planning to move to their own)
October 6, 2025 at 6:32 PM UTC Yeah. For me it tips it from "wtf that doesn't even deserve flagging" to at least understanding where they're coming from.
October 6, 2025 at 4:08 PM UTC I agreed at first when I read that, but it seems there is very important context missing. It's quoting a post by Jay alongside a picture of Charlie Kirk moments before he's shot, with an alt text that says "negative consequences" (from Jay's post). I can see how it could be interpreted as a threat.
October 6, 2025 at 3:57 PM UTC I was surpised to learn that people with aphantasia don't seem to suffer any ill effects from it in terms of other abilities, so maybe the same applies to AI
October 6, 2025 at 9:14 AM UTC You should try spaced en dashes – preferred British usage, and not used by LLMs.
October 5, 2025 at 6:59 PM UTC The "you are the product" quote is referring to the business model where the customer is paying for access to the users or their data. That's not what the VCs are doing.
October 5, 2025 at 6:53 PM UTC Really hard to choose, as so many are great! The first episode is a good one to get an idea of what the general vibe is. This is a good more recent one. The V2 rocket three-parter was great too.

You kinda did here. You found a random post about the general level of discourse and acted like you'd been personally attacked. It's weirdly disproportionate.
October 5, 2025 at 6:21 AM UTC Like I said: kids do stupid shit. They always have. Their brains are not fully developed. A normal response to children dying, even if it's "their fault", is to express sorrow and try to stop it happening again.
October 5, 2025 at 6:03 AM UTC What a strangely aggressive response. Are you like this in real life?
October 5, 2025 at 5:42 AM UTC Children do stupid shit because they're children. If you think you didn't, your memory is failing you. It's our job as adults to stop children getting harmed by their natural tendency to do stupid shit.
October 4, 2025 at 8:51 PM UTC If you haven't already it'd be great if you could open an issue with a repro
October 3, 2025 at 7:12 PM UTC "if you’re not paying for the product, you are the product" only makes sense if *somebody* is paying for the product
October 3, 2025 at 6:01 PM UTC What if it actually used TypeScript instead of a DSL? Shouldn't be too hard to compile to the right JSON (he says without looking into it at all). Then you have all the tooling you need.
October 3, 2025 at 4:19 AM UTC I am confident in saying that literally nobody learnt about Epstein or Palestine via the medium of Bluesky reply spam
October 2, 2025 at 7:04 PM UTC I do sometimes think that, but I'm pretty sure that's just cope. I'm not sure how I'd ever need enough small plastic things to justify the expense
October 2, 2025 at 6:05 PM UTC Yeah, I should've qualified it as Macs, as those are the only laptops that I've tried to repair
October 2, 2025 at 3:53 PM UTC Yeah, unfortunately I'm Mac-only so no-go. I do still generally enjoy doing minor repairs on them, but it's undoubtedly more fiddly than replacing a dishwasher water matrix
October 2, 2025 at 3:35 PM UTC Fixing home appliances is incredibly satisfying, and so much easier than fixing e.g. a laptop. Last night I replaced the pump on my coffee machine, and I've previously fixed our dishwasher and tumble dryer. Each one involved a YouTube video and buying a very cheap part on eBay. Saved me hundreds.
October 2, 2025 at 3:22 PM UTC I'm afraid I don't know, but probably not. I'd assume that will have already be processed.
October 2, 2025 at 3:06 PM UTC I said it was disingenuous to say it wasn't owned by one company. Maybe disingenuous was too strong a word, but I will stand by the fact that it's misleading when one company does own the brand and trademarks. And these projects may be able to fork, but they need to start again with new names.
October 2, 2025 at 11:25 AM UTC I get why they do it – and users probably prefer it – but this does feel like it kinda misses the point of CWV react.dev/blog/2025/10...
There is lots of precedent for this in open source too. Cases where the core team falls out with a company that bought the project trademark and has to fork it with a new name.
October 2, 2025 at 9:57 AM UTC When it comes to legal stuff then quibbles are important. The trademark owner is the one who has the ultimate say over what is released as "Nuxt". I don't suggest they actually ever would go against the governance procedures, but legally they could.
October 2, 2025 at 7:19 AM UTC Yes, and to be clear I'm not suggesting you're hiding it, nor that they're influencing the governance. I'm just saying that stating that one company doesn't own Nuxt, without qualifying it, is misleading when the brand *is* owned by one company. By all means say it's not *controlled* by them.
October 2, 2025 at 7:00 AM UTC The people who insist that Bluesky has no algorithm are very angry about this.
October 2, 2025 at 6:50 AM UTC I have defended Nuxt as being more independent than Next.js, this is a little disingenuous when Vercel literally *does* own the Nuxt brand and trademarks.
October 2, 2025 at 5:55 AM UTC It's annoying and makes the site harder to use. It achieves nothing except making the author feel like they're doing something. I'm not sure who the audience is meant to even be.
October 1, 2025 at 11:17 PM UTC Most of the feeds are personalized now. Some use ML (such as Discover), some use simpler algorithms. Bluesky uses ML for lots of things, and has done for a long time. This job isn't an indication of any change there.
October 1, 2025 at 11:01 PM UTC You know they never said "no algorithms"? These feeds already exist. There are lots of them, each with its own algorithm. You can choose the ones you like.
October 1, 2025 at 10:11 PM UTC You can't really expect Daniel to publicly criticise his employer, as he'd probably lose his job. Which is kinda the problem here.
October 1, 2025 at 8:35 PM UTC Yeah, it's more a question of degree. I would not take their money myself, nor choose to use one of their own products, but I'm not going to stop using another project if they start funding it. Everyone has their own line.
September 30, 2025 at 12:20 PM UTC I may be being naive here but I do think there's an important distinction to be made between Next.js on one hand and the other frameworks that are funded by Vercel.
September 30, 2025 at 11:46 AM UTC So tired of this. I've been a subscriber for over a decade but they've been getting worse and worse with this recently. This one was the final straw to make me cancel.
September 30, 2025 at 9:46 AM UTC In 90%+ of cases it's not much more than linking the repo and copying across any env vars. Astro needs an "astro add netlify" too.
September 30, 2025 at 8:35 AM UTC The things I have heard or seen about the way they treat open source "partners" too

September 29, 2025 at 8:13 AM UTC I somehow have an unread GitHib notification that I can't see from a repo that I don't have access to. I guess I'll have a dot in my header forever now
Who's up for an Astro happy hour in Amsterdam, after ViteConf? I've twisted @biilmann.blog's arm and the Netlify card will be behind the bar.
September 26, 2025 at 7:55 PM UTC Hey! The Astro comparison is a bit misleading: we didn't drop Node 18 in a minor, we just increased the required version of Node 18. We won't be dropping Node 18 until the next major release. Our policy allows increases in the minimum minor Node version in minor Astro releases.

Aww, that's a shame. I was looking forward to meeting! Hope things are ok.
September 25, 2025 at 2:58 PM UTC It's great seeing all the framework maintainers coming to @viteconf.org. It's going to be a fun event
There was of course a *small* part of me that felt relief that maybe I didn't need to finish writing my talk!
