So domestic abuse via Amazon devices is an actual thing.

During my divorce for two years, I had no clue my home was being stalked on an industrial scale.

The fantastic thing about being the father of two organised children is the simplicity of packing to leave a holiday location.

They inherited my logistics gene

I love the fact they think out the box it bodes well for the future

Seems a lot of associated companies and customers are affected by the clueless ops team security breach at Capita.

I would never partner with them for anything relating to security.

So having really got under the hood of Bluesky, if they get it right it's the natural successor to Twitter. Am new around these parts.

It's very well thought out regarding engagement.

Bluesky competes with Twitter

Mastodon is an alternative universe

Two different use cases

I put it on kids and not me

Now regretting it

Feeling a bit sore

So am a few hours in on the Bluesky experience. Spent most of it on a beach, reading people's posts.

My thoughts

We have three churches

Twitter is the Moonies

Mastodon is the LDS

Bluesky is not sure but it's working out what the rite of baptism looks like

Sat on a beach, I lie, I fell asleep in the sun for an hour

β€œLast November I deleted all my Tweets. Every single one. I then ran Redact and deleted all my likes, my media and retweets,” tooted open-source developer Dick Morrell."

Tooted. . . I just cannot.
