  1. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah, is a way to gesture at our cluster of accounts without taking on a more limiting identity like "tech twitter" or "queer twitter" or something (tho plenty of both of those in tpot)
  2. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replyno I haven't... perhaps I should learn?
  3. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replyas I described- a cluster of densely connected accounts from Twitter, just means "this part of tpot" (or *that* part depending on content lol)
  4. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replyooo is it in Pentagon City? I saw an @arlnow.bsky.social mention of one moving in there
  5. May 3, 2023Bluesky · postimo TPOT matches bsky mod goals- a diverse cluster w a lot of individual feuds n points of disagreement, no one can be booted from the whole group but ppl are free to block and follow to personal taste and associating w someone is not assumed to imply agreement w their views / politics
  6. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replyno I gotta pay... tonight
  7. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replylmfao true, I'm not sure you're the cozying kind even w ppl you do like

  15. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha you're right Berduck 🫶 the stuff is perfectly good stuff but the problem is ownership and storage
  16. May 3, 2023Twitter · reply@ThatShawGuy yep thanks just need to catch up on sleep
  17. May 3, 2023Twitter · postDMs are rate limited rn... lol it's probably just as well I'm exhausted 🫶
  18. May 3, 2023Bluesky · reply@berduck.deepfates.com please explain why emojis make ppl more likable?

  21. May 3, 2023Twitter · reply@RoninMeta @gsspdev lol ahhhh that was not me and no that's not the issue
  22. May 3, 2023Twitter · reply@RoninMeta @gsspdev I'm not sure what that means and I assume someone else?
  23. May 3, 2023Twitter · reply@chairsign not embarrassed and tbh chatgpt gives better mental health advice than the therapists i've known
  24. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah maybe... sigh i missed work today bec of this i have to go tomorrow
  25. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replyhehe berduck you're adorable, a liquor store??
  26. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replylol which store has cheap boxes? it's bulky heavy stuff like speakers
  27. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah maybe storage unit but i guess likely he won't pick it up or pay and i don't want collections calling me abt it
  28. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah it's too much i don't have boxes
  29. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replyit's a lot of items berduck, like a carful
  30. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replyand it's a bunch of electronics and it's been rainy and i don't have a covered porch
  31. May 3, 2023Bluesky · replyi don't have anyone that's close enough here to help physically
  32. May 3, 2023Bluesky · post@berduck.deepfates.com what should I do w someone's stuff he left in my house but he scared me and now i don't want to let him back in to take it
  33. May 2, 2023Twitter · reply@bayeslord followed 🫡
  34. May 2, 2023Twitter · reply@bayeslord lol, empirically C- have a panic attack and dissociate and do nothing
  35. May 2, 2023Bluesky · quotehehe this should be the real loading screen... that or a new sky image for each release
  36. May 2, 2023Bluesky · replyhow aware are you of your cycle and when you're ovulating? imo it's so obvious w the hormonal shift n everything...
  37. May 2, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah, in my code I can just keep scrolling till I find the non-reposts, but it seems more efficient to set a flag and let the backend do the filtering
  38. May 2, 2023Bluesky · postI would love a filter in UI & API to pull posts for a user but remove the reposts- let me see their original thoughts even if they RT a lot more than they post
  39. May 2, 2023Twitter · reply@SmokeAwayyy sigh I think a lot of the best applications involve custom datasets usually owned by orgs not individuals... takes time for the new possibilities to percolate through non-tech orgs and get funded and implemented... also more langchain mixing LLMs w other tools
  40. May 1, 2023Twitter · reply@Paul_Melman lol, ok but like assume we're not talking abt savings to live on but like, beyond that
  41. May 1, 2023Twitter · reply@biotechbuzznews @SmokeAwayyy it's also AWS hq & largest region and other infrastructure/ b2b type tech
  42. May 1, 2023Twitter · repostRT @max_paperclips: https://t.co/3Lw2DgGGSx
  43. May 1, 2023Twitter · reply@chzmoontheory Over 2M for what?
  44. May 1, 2023Twitter · reply@Soul0Engineer then please enlighten me, what should a portfolio of any size be invested in?
  45. May 1, 2023Twitter · reply@riboprotein 40% REIT, really? is that, like, permanent recc or specific to current market conditions?
  46. May 1, 2023Twitter · reply@upaether sure assume we're talking millions
  47. May 1, 2023Twitter · reply@lunar_rish oof tough one bec there's no edge of fabric to sew it back on... if it's fancy/custom enough to fix instead of replace you might just rip out the whole zipper and put in a new one
  48. May 1, 2023Twitter · reply@upaether and also like what's the threshold for a family office?
  49. May 1, 2023Twitter · reply@upaether I mean for things like private equity funds, VC funds... seems like there are minimum thresholds? and other investments have various forms of fees that make more sense at scale...
  50. May 1, 2023Twitter · reply@angelfir_e lol the blood rushing away from your head as you accelerate - mild form of why fighter pilots wear G suits
  51. May 1, 2023Twitter · repostRT @yacineMTB: very very cool from cohere! https://txt.cohere.com/rerank/
  52. May 1, 2023Twitter · postwhat size of portfolio justifies which alternative investment strategies beyond just dump it all in Vanguard whole market ETF?
  53. May 1, 2023Twitter · repostRT @entelechiada: you notice it first as April ends and May begins, a change in the season, not exactly a warming — in fact not at all a wa…
  54. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyidk I didn't trace it back to the endpoint I was just looking at the ES query code to see how they're matching things
  55. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyand even w the threshold of 5 they were worried abt not having enough Hotness so they had (?) code where anything liked by this special account would be considered Hot
  56. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replythe text search code is pretty simplistic rn... unless there's some other endpoint I don't think it's an option?
  57. May 1, 2023Bluesky · postlol when a kid-friendly mod filter decides that all references to "skeet" are sexually suggestive
  58. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah lol I'm not exactly offering but just noting the technical possibility if someone were willing to pay...
  59. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah true... I just figured hellthread notification destruction makes it likely to miss some QTs by ppl you might wanna block lol
  60. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyit IS interesting how many ppl want this feature- like, the paranoia abt someone talking abt you in a thread you can't find
  61. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replylol not unless someone else wants to run a server to ingest the whole firehose n index it properly for lookup by quoted tweet
  62. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyrandom Twitter ppl who ask for an invite and have an account w posts n followers n good vibes
  63. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replylol is THAT what it is?
  64. May 1, 2023Twitter · reply@jeeyonshim sorry to drop into your replies like this, but please DM if you'd like a bluesky invite code?
  65. May 1, 2023Twitter · reply@SurenaXMarie sorry to drop into your replies like this, but please DM if you'd like a bluesky invite code?
  66. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyyeah haha Quakers are weird in a way that works for me - no professional ministers, no authoritative holy texts, no scripted services (at least where I attend - it's just unprogrammed silent worship)
  67. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyhmm, I do feel like my dad & granddad were my role models and they'd lecture quite a bit on being a good person & doing the right thing... they just never brought God into the conversation, it was more just pragmatic like, look at how your actions are impacting others
  68. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyhmm, my dad and his dad were always pretty quiet about religion despite being active church members- leading youth group, on the usher team, church softball, saying prayers at dinner but never talked abt their faith... as I got older I realized maybe they didn't feel it any more than I did
  69. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyso, as an adult I've been able to get into Quakerism somewhat, it works better for me - listening to intuition / higher self / whatever and calling it God, without having to believe in the afterlife or miracles or anything
  70. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyno I didn't... I absorbed a lot of the low-key "treat ppl well" Lutheran values probably, but I didn't ever believe it that I can remember... in my teens I started hallucinating God talking to me sometimes, but like he'd make jokes during the Bible readings abt how ppl were misinterpreting him
  71. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha sure I'll go see who has DMs open and def mention you!
  72. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyhaha yes, I went to sunday school and service and choir practice and AWANAS and potlucks and retreats and revivals, read the Bible daily... used to cry myself to sleep abt not feeling anything
  73. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replysigh, I grew up with a LOT of religion and yet somehow never really found any faith for all the exposure and desire to believe... I feel like this is a personality trait or something, like idk how to catch the emotional contagion
  74. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyhehe I remember the variations on Twitter... my fave was when it was a bit Creole... but DuckTails is probably a wiser choice
  75. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replystan hitler in THAT 👀 part of tpot
  76. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyso happy in this part of tpot?
  77. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replylol yeah that's me too, crowds are vaguely unpleasant imo and I don't get the emotional contagion as strongly as most ppl seem to
  78. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyyep, "this part of tpot" 😏
  79. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replylol... kinda feel like this boils down to me posting like a HS dropout in Appalachia while y'all post like ivy league grad students
  80. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyhehe! No wonder you're a friend of Berduck!
  81. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyand we talk abt tpot as if it's one entity but each account in it only follows a subset of other tpot accounts and often has others muted / blocked w a mental list of complaints abt why that account sucks... sometimes political often not
  82. May 1, 2023Bluesky · reply😢 ah well... I really hope bsky takes off and eventually Twitter integrates into AT Protocol... Is there any particular Twitter accounts you'd like me to invite to bsky? I have a few codes left...
  83. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replygah that sucks!!! Twitter shutting down good citizen bots is so stupid- it's one of the main reasons I'm here now too
  84. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replythere's patterns but also exceptions so 🤷‍♀️ @visakanv.com is a big account & writer; he describes his target audience as "friendly ambitious nerds"
  85. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyI guess there's a tendency toward high openness and belief that it's ok/interesting to chat w ppl who have different political views
  86. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyhmm I wouldn't say we're like-minded exactly... lotta neurodivergence- adhd, autism, bipolar...
  87. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replynah but it's just a cluster of ppl on social media who enjoy following and chatting w each other, and yet the most common reaction of anyone who falls into it is "tpot? nah I'm not really tpot, more tpot-adjacent, maybe..."
  88. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replylol the most frequent tpot locations are SF and NYC...
  89. May 1, 2023Bluesky · reply@goodside.bsky.social @smokeawayyy.bsky.social @sarahooker.bsky.social @doomed-lidar.dev
  90. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyah I should've mentioned in the OP- @moot.social 🫶
  91. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replybot moderation in what sense tho... Berduck gets a lot of earned engagement while only replying to ppl who chat w him first
  92. May 1, 2023Bluesky · quotewhat ratio of bot vs human posting do you expect on bsky one month from now? one year?
  93. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replylol same but imo it's justified by their political lobbying alone
  94. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replylol hopefully w less nude pics...?
  95. May 1, 2023Bluesky · postkinda falling in love w Moot as my default ios app for bsky... nicer look n feel, already updated for blocks, no What's Hot view
  96. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyoooo nice!
  97. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replyI think RW ppl hate him too? his tweets make me laugh sometimes but on the whole I agree w him
  98. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replydo you have a link to the problematic story? I don't read everything he writes but like, from what I have read I'd not gotten the impression that he's hateful
  99. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replylol he reminds me of Downton Abbey's Lady Violet pointing out that the upper class maintains their position by adapting to the times
  100. May 1, 2023Bluesky · replylol he's also a philosophy major... but like, my impression of him is that he's center-left & pretty anodyne- like, he wants child tax credit federally and upzoning locally
