I like Chelsea Football Club
I also like to complain about Chelsea Football Club

It would need to be me doing this. The match scheduler runs on my server and pushes match updates to twitter and bsky. Presumably I'd need to write some code to do the same for discord

How hard it is/how long it would take, I can't tell you until I read the discord dev API

Kind of, haven't used it in years

If all you want is for the same match reports to be posted into your discord, it's probably not hard to add to my match report scheduler

Parts of it are, but most of it isn't. It would be useless for most people as it's reliant on specific schemas of my database.

I guess, what's the usecase that you're thinking, in the context of your discord server?

How it works is a pretty long topic (there's probably something like 15k lines of code in total). As far as whether it can work with discord, discord seems to have developer API so theoretically it should be possible

Yeah, what's up?

Can do. Give me an hour

Ok, done

I had an outage last night. It's fixed now, but I didn't want to spam that socials with the backlog of games. You can get all match data for past games here: mclachapp.streamlit.app/Match_Analysis

Genuinely disappointing because BG3 was probably the only AAA RPG released in the last several years that I liked enough to actually finish. Pretty much every other RPG to have come out since has been flawed. I'm not even bothering with Dragon Dogma 2 www.gamesradar.com/baldurs-gate...

I miss the good old days when mixing cocaine and finance bros only resulted in lads doing body surfing down bowling lanes while holding a bowling ball ahead of them, resulting in banning from said bowling alley for the whole company, rather than decimating whole countries.

Hmm, that got *really* specific there for a second, didn't it...

What a signing she's been for us

FT: Ajax 0-3 Chelsea FC Women Lauren James and Sjoeke Nüsken (2) make sure Chelsea head to Stamford Bridge with the advantage. Just the 4 goals and 1 assist in Nüsken’s last two appearances. That’s also Ajax’s first loss in the competition this season. #CFCW #KTBFFH #UWCL

Sorry. Every remotely competent python programmer in the UK is now busy programming @mclachbot.bsky.social full time

Bitcoin ETF is an absurd product. It's a nonsensical creature whose very existence is entirely paradoxical. Bitcoin's only utility, taken from first principles, is in the distributed blockchain technology that underpins it. This gives portability w/out centralised key man risk,

and the ability for people to do trusted bilateral transactions in a trustless environment, thus mitigating counterparty risk (I'd argue it doesn't even do that, and thus has no utility but that's a conversation for another time)

The value of bitcoin is then, at its root, derived from the collective belief in the value of that utility. An ETF explicitly goes counter to that assumption. ETFs are as tradfi as it comes.

The value of ETF is built explicitly on trust that if you come to BlackRock and give them your share, they'll redeem it for a pile of bitcoins. Buying ETF shares centralised bitcoin custody and assumes the counterparty risk of the share issuer.

So, buying a Bitcoin ETF is a signifier that one doesn't believe in the value of the distributed, trusted nature of bitcoin, since one is willing to give up these features. But that belief is the only thing that gives any value to the thing being invested in! It's a paradox!

As part of getting @mclachbot.bsky.social working, I created an object-oriented python API for bluesky. Its fairly feature-limited at the moment to just support what I need, but If others start using it, I'm open to expanding the feature set. Its available here: github.com/dmoggles/blu...

Do #hashtags work here?

Apparently not. Hmm. Will need to do some changes to @mclachbot.bsky.social

Wait until you find out that bluesky dev API is about a million times easier to use than twitter as well. @mclachbot.bsky.social is going live soon!
