Jay Graber from Bluesky on how the major social media platforms are dealing with AI. In her post, Graber introduces an app called Attie that helps you customize your feed. As far as I'm concerned, Graber gets the benefit of the doubt in terms of using AI more responsibly than the other social media sites. /
Widowspeak has a new record coming this June and produced a video for the lead single, “If You Change.” I first heard the band when they covered Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet," a song that never landed with me previously. Widowspeak won me over with the wistful tenderness they gave their treatment of the track. “If You Change” is also sweet and tender with a chorus that implores, “if you change, don’t change too much.” About halfway through the song, a guitar solo shreds the proceedings like J...
"For the memory can both provoke the dragon and the memory can also subdue him." - St. John Chrysostom This site follows the POSSE “Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere” model, which is described as “a content publishing model that starts with posting content on your own domain first, then syndicating out copies to 3rd party services with permashortlinks back to the original on your site.” Canned Dragons is built with Pckt, an AT Proto-based blogging service.

O'Nolan claims it's much faster, even though he knows the UI like the back of his hand. I'm skeptical that it's that much faster. I think we can get carried away with these new technologies. I recognize this is just a little experiment, but I don't see that it would really change using the tools in a meaningful way.
The announcement by Brid.gy about supporting long form posts through standard.site led me down a rabbit hole of exploring services that take advantage of that capability using AT Proto: Leaflet, Pckt and Offprint.
