I'll be talking about Gadget, which needs to be renamed, and the things it can help you get done with a better experience. This is the Gadget Agent sidebar extension doing what it does to help me get caught up after a 4-month gap.

I like the stories where people got to do their Big Thing, then go be happy. And I think this is that. You did something over here Jay. And it worked. Very happy for you. Bluesky CEO Jay Graber steps down techcrunch.com/2026/03/09/b...

Every vibe-coded app that ships means 20+ new jobs will be created for people who can actually code and engineer systems. You can quote me on that later when it's proven that I was right. I won't mind.

I wanted it to be real. I was excited to come share it. And that's how they get you.

I don't trust plans I'm not allowed to read, and I trust Kashapp PayPal even less than that.

Let's check in on X and see how things are going over therOH MY FUCKING GOD. [closes browser tab]

Here's one. It thinks this is X. It thinks this is how to engage in the conversation here. These are dysfunctional morons and trash who belong in your personal Sparta hole. And yes, I do mean to kick them into the hole. Block them. Forget their names. Their own families hate these losers. #holed

To everyone on this entire website who tried saying the budgets weren't cut in Los Angeles, we know what you are and we know what you're here to do. Stop lying. Now. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

If being honest, it's all been fun and also a concern to watch happen in real time. You are watching The Machine fail and break. That is what's happening now.

It's not an act of genocide to remove undefined behavior from a programming language. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLPV...

This is a scambot. The hot chick in your DMs is never a hot chick, and it wants something from you. Don't be a simp.

Right, but then people can realize none of that has anything to do with them where they are, and ignore it. If it means the world starves, it starves.

Is it maybe a little weird how "Mr. Jackson" didn't have anything further to say in this exchange? 🤔

X is a social media website and app where people go to learn how to join cults without knowing that they have joined a cult. They can't explain why they like, share, and reply. They just always like, share, and reply. [dings the bell] [saliva]

Add in the sociopaths who find outrage and drama in anything that treads in, on or around their bespoke snowflake lifestyle.

I mean it's not like X is straight-up stealing your everything or whatever to train their generative AI and large language models. Oh, wait... What's this?! www.youtube.com/shorts/CsFJe...

It's bizarre to conflate people seeking a good user experience and basic content moderation with "giving up on the 20th-century ideal of a public sphere." We had to build a new public sphere on Bluesky because Elon destroyed the old one www.nytimes.com/2024/12/07/o...

This is AGGRESSIVELY awkward. Wow. Elon Musk’s AI turns on him, labels him ‘one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X’ fortune.com/2024/11/14/g...

Don't forget to charge your vape, I guess.

No, Jim. You don't. I'm poisoning your timeline, Jim. You're going to have to block me. I won't even have to use Discredit, Dismiss, Distort, Distract, and Dismay. I'm just going to keep pointing at you and telling people what you are. YOU have the hard job. Do better. I want a good opponent.

The guy who scared the shit out of you tonight because that's what you deserve and will receive. A real person who does things, not says things. Uh, oh! #IndustrialSaboteur

Wherein the #IndustrialSaboteur hopes their "laugh track" reply triggers automatic behaviors in those who are on the plantation and members of the cult. It's not going to work. I'm going to make sure people understand what "Jim" is - and how to defend themselves from what "Jim" does.

Would you like to tell the good people here why you use a "Punisher" image as a header and call Trump...God? Before you call me a "libtard" and read from your expired script, I'm a Trump supporter and voted for him. And I will work *against* people like you here. We know what you are.

You prevent this best by supporting the platform yourself when things like a monthly subscription arrive. It's very specifically that which keeps the advertisers, special interests, and billionaires away. And it works. I am speaking from direct experience. Support the platform :)

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

"We're coming for your children," starts by putting a mobile device in their hand prior to adulthood.

Blocked. This is thinly-veiled industrial sabotage designed to make platforms off-putting and unwelcoming. Block it. This is only a form of propaganda.

Went & read the whole article calling BlueSky an echo chamber (it isn't) while trying to perpetuate the propaganda and nonsense that destroyed Twitter/X into this space. So I quickly came back to BlueSky and blocked you. Go be a rage merchant somewhere else. Bye. #holed

The hypocrisy on display is interesting, but also irrelevant, because X is and has been nothing but a political propaganda apparatus for almost 20 years now. I want to see it fail for that reason. It doesn't matter who it's favoring today...it's only trash. Avoid.

[wraps block finger in sports tape...] bring it. 295k profiles is gonna take a minute, but I'm up for the task.

Figured I’d whip up a deep, dubby, yet glitchy halftime DnB tune today that, honestly, doesn’t really want to be deep at all. You know how it goes—can’t make up your mind, and in the end, it just sounds like it always does 🤣 #bitwig #drumandbass #synthsky

Maybe in the end, Elong Moosks will be aboard a spaceship surrounded only by robots and AI because humans have abandoned him. He will sky-sail off to Mars alone on autopilot in a bat-suit or whatever, with drones to talk to. He'll be happy and doing his Big Thing. And no one else will care at all.

I think it's funny when the echo chamber of X calls BlueSky an echo chamber, but then BlueSky isn't an echo chamber, and then they look stupid. That's been my favorite part of the story thus far.

Accurate. And as more humans leave the place by the day, it's devolving into an AI-fueled bot war. Which is something worth studying as a thing, and interesting in some ways, but not somewhere anyone should spend any serious time trying to accomplish goals at all. Sycophant Social is a weird place
