Prepping to start my first garden at the new house this spring and it’s absurd the amount of money I just spent on dirt.

A image from a chat gpt response where the llm recommends a change to some drafted language where the recommended change is word for word exactly the same as the original draft.

Thank you ChatGPT for all your help, I can’t imagine how this email would’ve turned out without your impeccable feedback.

Never ending drama lol, and thank you for the nostalgia trip!

Also that’s so cool! Really great to hear from someone with such similar experiences to me 😊

Forums: My Introduction to The Internet My first real experiences on the internet were had on forums in the early 2010's. They shaped much of my teenage years and then largely disappeared from my life. With atproto, could they make a comeback?

A brief blog post reminiscing on my early internet experiences on forums, inspired by @malpercio.dev's recent post about his new project atbb, atproto based forums.

What the World Needs Now is Forums Sweet Forums - Mal’s Musings and other thoughts from a forums purveyorI was seven years old when I got my first video game console. It was Christmas, and I actually got two! A GameBoy Po...

I'm finally ready to show off the thing I've been working on: atBB (pre-alpha)!

It's a forum platform built on top of atproto.

I wrote up some thoughts about why I am interested in building forums: pckt.blog/b/mal-s-musi...

Yes! If you open up your blog on leaflet, go to settings > general settings > enter your custom domain under Publication Domains. Then you just have to configure a CNAME record for your domain and Leaflet provides the info on what to add to the record. Pretty straight forward, only took a few mins!

I love atproto bc wdym I can post my @leaflet.pub posts to my @bsky.app and then those can show up immediately on my @blento.app AND people can read these posts from any other compatible atproto blogging site like @pckt.blog ???

Setting Up My First Homelab (& First Leaflet!)

First ever Leaflet?? And a homelab???

Finally setting up my first homelab is sort of dangerous because now I'm thinking insane things like I should host my own pds

I’ve installed Immich AND Jellyfin onto the home server today and started ripping my DVD collection I am unstoppable

Just installed Immich onto my home server (the first thing I've installed!). Time to say goodbye to Google Photos, excited for one less Google product in my life.

The view from my walk yesterday, I’ll never get sick of living somewhere like this

Finally got a custom handle and decided to also set up a @blento.app page. Surprisingly easy to get going and I only ran into 1 issue (user error) so I'll call it a win.

Deleted TikTok a little over a week ago and it’s kinda hard to believe but somehow my life has improved by not doom scrolling tiktok for hours and hours a day

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

We need a change in Dem leadership in Congress AND within the Dem party FAST, before the party becomes completely irredeemable.

What's the benefit of keeping the gov open if you're handing this admin the authority to continue gutting it even more?

I will never understand how avoiding whatever it is these people believe are in vaccines is in any way better than your child dying.

I really wish people would realize it’s not the time to be shaming people for having a realization they were lied to.

We need to bring together as many people as possible to stand up and say this isn’t right and to fight back.

Telling them they deserve this just isn’t it, no one deserves this.

Created a feed for #Denver area news and events. Using @graze.social to help manage the feed/ algorithm and its been an interesting learning process.

If you're interested, give it a look! Open to hearing feedback on other accounts or types of content to include.

i saw this guy unironically make a post about the "left" needing to "hold itself accountable" for the election. just for clarity jill stein, cornel west, and claudia de la cruz in total amassed 1 million votes in this election. kamala lost by 3 million

Who supplied the bombs which killed thousands of literal children in Gaza?

Oh but don’t worry they were “working tirelessly for a ceasefire” and that’s definitely a statement we should fully believe as they sent billions of dollars worth of bombs to drop on civilians.

Did you delete the other post bc you learned what an opposition party is and then reflected on what it means to build an inclusive movement?

We need to be directing our anger where it belongs, at the two parties which ushered in fascism, not the voters stuck in the middle of two horrific choices.

Oh and you’re building an inclusive movement by shitting on other leftists instead of criticizing the opposition party who ran a horrible campaign and was more concerned with the interests of Israel than the demands of their constituents?

Even if every single Dearborn resident voted for Kamala she still would’ve lost Michigan and the election.

This is why the Dem party will never learn its lesson. It’s 2016 all over again. Blame the people instead of the candidate. Keep trying I’m sure someday we will maybe get another Joe Biden who can sit on his hands for 4 years doing nothing to stop democracy’s slide into facism!

Was her policy position not “the most lethal military in the world”?

If you truly believe there were enough people choosing not to vote for her over Gaza, then is it not obvious she should have tried to adjust her stance to capture those voters?

I keep seeing this and I’m losing it.

All Kamala had to do to get more voter’s support was NOT SUPPORT A GENOCIDE. She chose genocide.

Stop acting like this is difficult to comprehend. If enough ppl sat out for this stance that it caused her to lose, ITS HER FAULT FOR NOT CHANGING STANCE.

If you run on the kill babies platform, don’t be surprised when the anti-killing babies voters don’t vote for you.

If you run on the let’s only kill some babies platform, don’t be surprised when the anti-killing babies voters STILL DONT VOTE FOR KILLING BABIES.

Blame lies w/ dem party, not voters

Sorry no time for performing the functions of an opposition party in the face of a growing fascist oligarchy, there’s too many anti-genocide protesters that need to be yelled. If we don’t rerun the 2016 playbook then people might actually expect the party to have some level of competence!

Im so glad Dems focused on having the most lethal military in the world to convince voters to vote for them rather than

*checks notes*

actually standing against a genocide.

And you’re right, it’s totally the voters fault for Trump winning and not the complete incompetence of the Democratic Party.
