Bluesky thanks you for giving them the benefit of the doubt. That was all they needed. You may now get fucked.

Here's a closer look at popular science and the scientists who had to fight for their groundbreaking ideas to be noticed an accepted. From Lister to Pasteur. -> #BookThreads #BookSky #IToldYouSo #NetGalley @macmillanaudio.bsky.social

#IToldYouSo #Maxwell #extortion #trump
#GhislaineMaxwell stated today what I figured she'd say because she has conditional leverage over Trump as evidenced by her cushy treatment in prison as long as she keeps her mouth shut. Now she wants a #TrumpPardon but that presents a paradox for The Don: if he doesn't pardon her she'll be pissed enough to squawk anyway, and if he does, she gets to squawk with impunity.
Either way, she sings like a canary.

@GutterPoetry There also seems to be an assumption that you are only a Human being if you are also a #MobilePhoneZombie there are still quite a few people, admittedly tending more to the grey haired that don't walk around permanently attached to a "#Smartphone" if I were to go full Tin foil Hat I'd suspect it is yet another attempt to cull the old & infirm to save on Pensions & NHS IIRC they are currently gradually switching off Landlines that have backup power in the event of the more often occurring power-cuts which like the #IDiocy of Government #IDCard more than probably outsourced to a contributing "Lobbyist", #IDCards will have a non zero #bodycount as old people will not be able to call the emergency services when they need it & in the case of the #BritCard when the Database is inevitably stolen/leaked , if not just sold to raise funds first. It will cause many of those who have had their whole lives stolen to die by a wide variety of causes. Not that I have much hope of it being stopped but I thought I'd get my #IToldYouSo to the world RANT(Rage Against Numpty Twats) in on 26/9/25 so that eventually I can claim full house on my #CassandraComplex😜 but in case it is one of the electronic petitions not hit by the Government auto demagger on inconvenient truths the petition currently at about 3/4 Million is here⤵️ As a #Discworld fan I think we should get it to at least round Million‼️ ‼️

It was really stupid of Indians (including its leaders) to think Republicans will be friends of India. #itoldyouso moment.

Nearly a day ago. Seems a lifetime.

One gets a smug satisfaction from having issues reported with $THING, only to browse through the output of
$ git log -p -- file.ext
and read the comment with the direct marching orders to do $THING in the way it is currently implemented rather than deal with the root cause in the data. Timestamps and all. Would you like me to disinter the email in which you made the request, too?

A propos of what I just posted about techbros going the wrong way with their GaFe/GaAs bullshit. I get to say "I Told You So". #IToldYouSo

This President can go to hell for eternity any day now. Sooner is better. Take Musk ra with you, and Botox lips, syphilitic Kristi Moen with!

All I can say, the I-told-you-so's are going to be Epic.
-
in work Slack I began a message with "I shouldn't say 'I told you so' but..." and then proceeded to do just that. 😐
(but it was a private message 😅 )

@volkris All very good points! But, at the end of the day, if reach is their goal, then limiting themselves to a platform that is, to quote Bridgy, “burning”, is contradictory. In the first place, many of them joined because it became popular. But, now, even with the growing popularity of the fediverse, and other platforms, they don't want to.
Think of it this way. Majority of Facebook and Twitter users joined these platforms because knowing that they will have to start from scratch and convince their family and friends to sign-up. They knew they have to sacrifice their existing #Friendster and #Myspace connections. Yet, they did.
Years later, these same people are refusing to create an account in other platforms (not just the fediverse), and the most frequent reason given is “lack of connections”.
Or, an example from the business side, #IE6 in South Korea. The financial infrastructure there was heavily dependent on features only available in IE6. For years, they refused to leave IE6. They cited most, if not all, of the things you pointed out.
Eventually, Microsoft called it quits and killed IE6 for good. Probably got tired of waiting. IIRC, SoKor had to pass a law to force their banks to move away from IE6 and to guarantee there won't be an ‘apocalypse’ once IE6 is gone for good.
I think a combination of both is happening with many of these companies. They've forgotten how they started, and why they have those accounts. They went through explaining and convincing, they went through trying to get their projects signed-up, trained people, and so on. The difference is, today, they don't want to do it because… for those reasons. Are they going to wait until the other platforms turn into ashes?
I do understand your points, very valid, I've been through that myself, chased their signatures, prepared presentations, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to our target market. That target market split into various platforms. Just like ten or so years ago, we followed where they were flocking. We should be ready for any changes in the landscape. If the other platform turn into ashes, we are already set up and running in other platforms. Otherwise, a lot of projections and targets will go into red.
Then again, if someone is already pushing for these things and kept getting refused no matter what explanation they gave, someone is going to enjoy an #IToldYouSo moment. ^_^;; (LOL. I also experienced that moment once.)
