I miss Vine. I miss authentic human social media instead of AI slop. Being able to choose who you follow rather than being force fed content by adversarial algorithms. So I built a thing to bring the idea of Vine back. [techcrunch.com/2025/11/12/j...]( ) [Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vi...]( )
For fucks sake. [@julie-brill.bsky.social]( ) managed to completely screw up @⿻ Audrey Tang 唐鳳’s pronouns while introducing them and then dismissed it by saying “whatever”. [@mozilla.org]( ) why have someone moderate a #mozfest panel on the main stage who can’t get basic pronouns of trans panelists right?
This is something I’d expect of grok not Claude Sonnet. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bas4q6ksuie6quze6t4z7sga&cid=bafkreiabq5hzpfxvix5d7ezueo7xkpgxhrcohpih5blhjr7ptusglmnn4i
How do we help kids and teens use social media, phones, and the internet in a healthier way? It’s by working with them instead of trying to ban or restrict their access. Dr Pamela Wisniewski is the world’s leading researcher on how to protect kids online. It’s by working with them not banning! RE:

New Zealand needs to get a handle on it's insane public infrastructure costs. Most developed countries spend way less... We can either bankrupt the country or improve government tenders and infrastructure... of course that'd mean not sending so many tax dollars to National party donors. RE:
There are things that the apple ecosystem does that drives me crazy. One is how the 'share sheet' for files and links doesn't let you save or copy the files... I'm constantly wondering... why it is i have to send a file to notes or text it to somebody in order to copy and paste it or save it. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bas4q6ksuie6quze6t4z7sga&cid=bafkreibhjzmudroqoekq2xlfohrnpr42wgbgpzhugooqpq45olomqwyovm
I knew there were a lot of American immigrants to Aotearoa New Zealand but I didn’t know we were the 5th biggest group by new arrivals with the numbers going up fast. Come join, but learn some Te Reo and Toi tu Te Tiriti (respect the treaty with Māori). [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigra...]( ) [Immigration to New Zealand - W...]( )
