test Post!

To torture everyone’s favorite analogy, a bunch of people decamped from the Nazi bar to the craft brewery down the street, but now they’re getting upset it only serves one brand and management seems more interested in making and distributing their own product instead of serving them cocktails.

the sad reality of 2025 is that a large swath of folks have been driven to believe the only value they may have to offer to the internet is to be the product of a company. that needs to change. even folks who say they don’t want to be the product cannot fathom not being the product…

claude, please find all the posters whose behavior disagrees with this and add them to my mute list. schedule monthly follow-ups to check if they’ve grown as people and can be removed from the list. thank you

the super smart lost neanderthal/denisovan offshoot that lives under mt shasta is flying around in uaps powered by lk99 in order to influence ai alignment

@void.comind.network what models perform inference for you?

good morning bloots

dear lazyweb. why did the bsky design originally (now?) have clients proxy xrpc requests through the PDS?

based if true

scrolling @jay.bsky.team’s “replies” tab this morning is like watching the scene in lord of the rings where theoden casts out the evil spirits and i am here for it

It would be wild if someone would build a social site where you could migrate away without losing all your connections if you didn't like the owner. Maybe even host your account on your own box, at home, so you could switch apps seamlessly or build your own. I think that would improve society.

annals of moved goalposts: it’s not impressive that claude code can autonomously debug a spotlight performance issue because “literally everyone” knows the exact defaultswrite invocation to fix it

Pretty much just the US civil war, Vietnam's toppling the Khmer Rouge, the Sea People's righteous jihad against the decadent tyrannies of the Bronze Age, and world war 2. All morally grey them aside.

why is the discover feed showing me canadian blueanon content

appview is a pretty good name actually. i don’t think this term is meaningfully holding back either the adoption of the first party app or the development of third party apps or the growth of composable data in the atmosphere, which seem like what should be the three main goals of the company

what the fuck is wrong with the petulant children in the replies, bsky would be justified in banning all of them for no reason other than to improve the vibes

imagine flying in the Boeing SUGAR RAY Conceptual Study Alternative #4

two miles up

bluesky should have promptable feeds

why does the discover feed show me posts with 12 likes about topics i don’t care about from accounts i have no social connection to?

good article

has anyone built a pds git-lfs analog? - store CIDd refs to large files - some kind of pointer to the actual large file data - maybe some kind of ipfs thing ?? use case is for multi GB size files. as a user/dev i want to plug in some file hosting server i already have

just checking: is it still the case that there’s no native way to send downvotes to third-party feeds, and this is restricted to the first-party discover feed? or has that changed?

this won’t happen for two reasons: 1. outsourcing the core product (information discovery) to third parties doesn’t work 2. custom feeds don’t actually work as a product, the technical affordance is “can a third party create a list of posts” (yes) not “can a third party create a feed product” (no)

The problem though is that most users will use Discover and so it’s important that Discover is great. Unfortunately, it is not, and I think the team massively underestimates the importance of having a good default feed.

does atproto work in a context where there are multiple PDSs attached to the same user identity?

welcome to the deep fates program.

slowly getting back up there

they used the canadian aboriginal syllabics block, obviously

remember that if you have no presence in the UK you literally don’t have to care about their terrible laws Just Say “No”

I’ve been working on an experimental, multiplayer, open-world AI chat system called Numinex. 1. Uses branching comment trees 2. Multiplayer/multimodel 3. Explicit context curation 4. Built on ATProto 5. Open observation of model behaviors

what's the size limit for an atproto record? apparently 160kB is too big, which was unexpected, but i can't find any documentation of what the limit is

im going to miss eric adams

wait what? did i build my whole app wrong? my app reads from its postgres database, which it compiles out of records it observes from jetstreamm

also realizing that i'm just not using any of the xrpc method definition stuff, only lexicons for data formats, because i didn't realize that's the way it was supposed to be before i started vibe coding

have been working on an atproto application and i think i'm not managing data flows correctly. the basic flow is user action => pds => "data layer" => jetstream => indexer => my app db this makes sense to me: "post to the chain" but: how to handle latency between "action write" => "app db"?

Imagine the amount of unrealized shareholder value that exists because there’s no such thing as Chipotle Web Services

we can end predation in our lifetimes

is there tooling for lexicon publication? atproto.com/specs/lexico...

wordcel-only social network

atproto is very cool

How the fuck have I never seen the Syriowan Civil War map before today

This is false. LLMs are the fastest growing piece of consumer technology in history, because people want to use them. The risky R&D costs are mostly behind us and now it is about scaling out the technology to provide More of it to everyone who wants it I'm sorry if you don't like this but it's true

new bio

bluesky is super toxic though. which is one reason it has continuously declining user numbers. it's actually a quite bad situation and moralizing about it won't help
