Wow, you signed up yesterday and determined, “an algorithm that entices you into a parasocial relationship with the synthetic community” all on your own?

It’s not any of that…

But If what it truly is, isn’t for you, that’s fine too.

Can confirm!

I work in an industry that has to sell devices in China, and the hoops our clients have to jump through just to submit for approval are numerous.

They added 1 million new users yesterday alone, so it’s happening! And so are the growing pains.

Jay, their CEO, had a Twitch stream yesterday and she said they’re a 20 person team!

It truly is like old Twitter.

One thing I am always aware of are apps that want permission to access Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi and/or Networks.

Even though Bluetooth is very short ranged it can still be used to tie you into a location within a database based on other database records that are more detailed.

Yeah, I love playing you “My Great Dog-sitting Simulator” (not a real app) but you do not need access to my BT. The OS handles sending your audio to my headphones!

Well bsky.app has added almost a million users in 1 day! They actually call these events “EMEs” (Elon Musk Events).

It’s a great site, that I highly recommend you check out.

You may have heard of Folsom Street Fair? The sex & kink positive, all-inclusive, world-famous, 2-day long, San Francisco street fair?

For the first time in over 2 decades of attending my husband and I were turned away from the new, unmarked, Trans & Non-Binary Gate & Safe Space because we weren’t, nor did we identify, as such.

Wow!

And “1984” was a warning, not a “How To”…
