I've taken Wendy into work with me this morning - instant promotion to Head of Barketing - her tail hasn't stopped wagging all day! (She's now got the Chief ExeCUTEive Officer position in her sights...) #BusinessDogs#AgencyLife https://t.co/aVClbzg0bH
A little visual palette cleanse.
Wendy also would like to point out that Bluesky is a much nicer place and many of us are already over there, and that if you google "sky follower bridge .dev" there's a free app that lets you find all the people you followed on twitter.... π¦
@fortybelowzero That, and bluesky from a user experience is very similar to twitter - realtime chronological feed(s) so you can follow events/hashtags in real time, a fair algorithm (many people claiming 10x the engagement to posts there than here), but with great trust and safety provisions.
Pretty sure they've added another million in the last day - imagine twitter from the earlier days when it was fun, exciting and full of memes and potential (and not surrounded by racists). You should give it a go (google "sky follower bridge" to find people you know on twitter)
FYI its struggling with the amount of signups at the mo, so keep checking. I'm "@fortybelowzero.com" on there. I'm also on threads, but i dunno, i dont trust musk not to turn that into a hellscape of ads and spam like facebook, which is unlikely to happen on bluesky.
@coalsupper By Eck lads - bin looking forward t' this since ah saw t'announcement trailer, 'ave to say what ah've played s'far is reyt champion - a bobby dazzler no less -- well done ππ
FYI I've got a couple of private beta invites for the other social network that sounds like 'bloo skye" if anyone wants in.
(It's a bit more like twitter in the early days - ie you prob wont find many people you know, most of them are in tech, and it's largely 'nice' people).
@thomasforth I can see loads of windmills from my window (in the upper Calder valley) - I'd be perfectly happy with more - I think they look majestic and get a good feeling knowing the electricity we use is almost certainly all renewable here, not sure why people get upset about them! π€·ββοΈ
@benmckenna I'm enjoying the bold optimism the tories currently have that Boris is going to fade away quietly and not spend the next 18 months trying to undermine Sunak on any media outlet that will have him, so he can claim he wouldn't have lost the election when it invariably happens...
@dergal@amandakou@GameTripperUK Who knew we'd have to wait nearly 10 years and an international health emergency for people to realise QR codes are actually a handy way of quickly syncing the physical and the digital too π (in the UK at least - they've been everywhere in Japan for decades!)
@GameTripperUK@dergal@mocwoods Ta! Doing well; Be good to catch up for a beer (I live just t'other side of Hebden Bridge now, but easy enough to get a train to Leeds (or I work out of our leeds office a few times a month))?
@dergal@mocwoods@GameTripperUK I was as surprised as anyone it all worked π I remember frantically debugging something that was broken while the players were walking over to templeworks π³.
I think my fave memory was the actors playing the office workers making up gossip about co-workers who were on holiday!
