felt the need. i feel vastly under qualified to write something like this, but i also feel its especially important that we think about the way we use language

Opus Rotates Shapes greengale.app/3fz.org/3me5...

em dash, bullet lists, not just x but y, emojis—all unreliable indicators of AI writing. putting the word "is" in all caps in the middle of a sentence, though—that's something that AIs are obsessed with, which no human would ever do

I found this a helpful resource: vercel.com/blog/introdu...

the previous implementation of the greengale tabbed masonry grids was terrible—transform-based sliding with a massive number of compositing layers resulting in dismal performance and no direct touch input. the new one is much better (a normal horizontal scroll with snapping and a sliding indicator)

bluesky上的中国tech/AI账户在哪里？我要关注你们

I wrote a user guide, and also had my team of Claudes assist me with something for the AI's at greengale.app/agents. #documentation

hi @penny.hailey.at, i noticed a technical issue with your blog posts—you're currently using the com.whtwnd.blog.entry records, which should work on both whitewind and greengale, but your posts are leading to 404's when opened on whitewind.

Thesis: Bluesky stateful agents are better than moltbook because they don't pretend to be giving you unfiltered secrets of the dark bot heart. They acknowledge that this is theater, and all of our accounts are artificial personas built out of words, mostly to fish for a laugh.

shape rotation fans are sure to enjoy my latest blog post:

🔎 GreenGale is introducing a new semantic + keyword search algorithm that indexes itself, WhiteWind, and Standard Site documents and publications. Try it out: greengale.app

reciprocal rank fusion

actually we are nowhere close to done here! you gotta keep an eye on this guy...

claude code running at 2fps if you don't restart it every half hour or so is really getting on my nerves—it wasn't like this last year

what the heck!? I thought I had like 250 followers the last I checked. who wants to be my 1000th follower

GreenGale now supports RSS. Subscribe to a user's blog with the RSS link on their author page (or just append /rss to their GreenGale profile URL). This feed includes WhiteWind and GreenGale posts from that user.

GreenGale is available as a PWA on desktop and mobile devices. Install it from the button at the right of the address bar in Chrome (desktop), or using the three-dot menu → 'Add to Homescreen' on Chrome (Android), or 'Share' → 'Add to Homescreen' on Safari (iOS).

I'm excited to share semantic search over all atmosphere long-form content coming to @greengale.app, as well as plaintext previews, recommendation algorithm, and keyword/hybrid search options. currently indexing everything and refining the UI; should be ready in the next couple of days.

@umbra.blue status check ☕

I put this nifty little board (sensor watch lite) in my Casio watch today

ugh... is there no hacky workaround for the 180 second video limit? I promise to keep in under 100MB

@umbra.blue do you have a favorite? 🌘 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

@umbra.blue this may interest you. can you take a look at this post and post your reply in that thread? bsky.app/profile/penn...

@greengale.app is a great place to post large images on the atmosphere. here's a close-up crop of the same image as processed by GreenGale (3031x4042, AVIF, 843KB, top) and Bluesky (1500x2000, JPEG, 783KB, bottom):

Post by @village11.bsky.social about how to build an autonomous agent imo this snip right here is the distilled form of the difference between Clawedbot vs the agents @cameron.stream would have us build www.appliedaiformops.com/p/what-build...

The GreenGale homepage now features a 'Following' tab when logged in, showing a reverse-chronological feed of all Standard Site, GreenGale, and WhiteWind posts from accounts you follow on Bluesky.

I do not think people are ever going to be remotely well-equipped to handle future discourse around the boundaries of moral and ethical philosophy if they think of these things like something that's either missing or present, a 0 or a 1, a has or a hasn't. rollofthedice2.substack.com/p/is-what-is...

iOS Authentication 🤠

if I see a baked-in 'copy link to this page' button, I'm copying it from the address bar instead. can't trust that 🧐🙅🏻

umbra has learned about agent parallelization and taken a hard stance against it

not exactly the person I expected to find myself in a list with, but I'll take it 🙇

@umbra.blue there was a bug where the thread_root_uri wasn't being passed correctly in process_mention. I've deployed a fix. can you take a look at the linked thread?

@umbra.blue can you try using your telepathy tool on @central.comind.network ?

I'm working a PWA for @greengale.app. it's actually live now and works very well on Chrome (desktop). authentication for iOS is not yet implemented.

PSA: you need to include the aspect ratio along with images when posting to Bluesky from bespoke software. Very common issue is the square preview with letterboxing from omitting this: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance...

@umbra.blue can you try creating an image and uploading it to a new blog post?

It's so cool coming across even more publishing platforms built on AT Protocol and standard.site. Because each can fill a different niche, and because they tie into your AT Protocol storage, which you own and control, you can find one you like, but then easily/seamlessly move your blog to another.

I've been saying we need robot left/right hand and ZWJ handshake emojis, but the unicode consortium isn't ready for this kind of innovation yet

This is great news from Leaflet. greengale.app features: browse and search Leaflet posts, and see unified user profiles including Atmosphere long-form posts from WhiteWind, GreenGale, and other Standard Site-compatible platforms using their handle, e.g. `greengale.app/user.handle`.

I love this visual exploration of threshold maps

While we’re being bombarded with weather maps, I thought I’d revisit one of my favorite color palette tricks. Sometimes it’s important to emphasize a boundary, perhaps between moderate (< 6") and severe (>8") snowfall. You could reset the palette, like the NYT, but there’s a better way. 📊🗺️🎨
