omg! 💙💙💙

I wrote a short post-mortem on the Bluesky outage we had on Monday. First time using pckt, it was a really nice experience tbh! pckt.blog/b/jcalabro/a...

The first freight Shinkansen bullet train, operated by East Japan Railway Co.

Related to this, we've been slowly rolling out a higher resolution limit for our image uploads, from 2000px^2 to 4000px^2. Until the below image size increase rolls out (soon), image sizes are still capped at 1 MB, so FYI you won't see immediate quality increase in all cases just yet.

The launching gantry for the SkyTrain extension is getting close to my future local train station. It is cool to see how it lifts and lines up those big concrete blocks for the elevated guideway. surreylangleyskytrain.gov.bc.ca #SurreyBC

who is developing a reputation for taste in atmospheric design? eg, in the 2010s era, I would refer back to Github URL path structure, APIs, and product design (even though I didn't use github directly very much). who is doing that for atproto lexicons, apps, etc?

Yes it is thematically appropriate to mute the word "antimemetics"

Tokyo. April 18. First Bluesky hackathon in Japan. Build anything on ATProto — tools, bots, feeds, visualizations. Sponsored by Bluesky. Lunch and snacks included. Engineers, designers, planners — all welcome. 428lab.connpass.com/event/387583/

I don't have any confidence that US/Israel will stick to anything. US/Israel could still attack in the next 24hr, or in a month, etc

probably a good time at least, like, upgrade to modern/current/supported versions of base OS, runtimes, network daemons. that debian oldoldstable box running python3.5 which has somehow made it this far probably ain't going to make it

what's your ai strategy? what's your quantum computing strategy? what's your ww3 strategy? what's your collapse of consensus reality strategy? what's your restructuring of global supply chains strategy? what's your pedophile billionaire cabal blackmail ring strategy?

devs working with bsky image embeds: we are planning to bump the image embed blob max size from 1 MByte to 2 MByte. first in the lexicon schema, and then in the Bluesky Social app. more about impacts, and what this means in terms of lexicon evolution, in this github discussion

@grain.social is good now

the space data center thing doesn't make economic sense. is it about evading govt regulation or taxation? or just hype/noise (I mostly assume the later)

It is apparent that the average poster is incapable of understanding this, so let me explain using a different approach. It's not "Vibed?" it's, "Big Boat Stuck."

taking this pretty seriously for both atproto and PLC. don't foresee having firm proposals until towards the end of the year at the earliest, but already starting to think about transition logistics

Since this morning, we have been experiencing intermittent outages in the us-east region due to an issue with an upstream service provider. We are working with them actively to restore service as soon as possible.

finally posted thoughts about the atmosphere conf (along with an illustration and a bunch of tweaks to the blog) macwright.com/2026/04/05/i...

more pizza for your consideration

Iconic that NASA woke up the #Artemis II crew with Pink Pony Club

also, I guess I should add: the strong version of all this is permissioned data, where you get more control over who can access data at all (with tradeoffs of visibility, reach, and benevolent reuse). which is going to be a lot of work, but is getting underway

to give an update on where that proposal stands: I got as far as publishing demo lexicons and deploying an example that passes through headers aligned with the IETF AIPREF work last summer: demo.user-intents.org

hot dog #stickerpatrol

hell yeah

going to need a python one also

pea eye zee zee aye

how was your lunch break?

Lot of recalled products down there.

Introducing @inspo.land - a place to collect, share, and discover inspiration its like Pinterest or Cosmos, but built on the open social web now in early alpha preview for this weekend

Pleased to announce that an Authenticated Transfer Protocol (ATP) working group has been created at the IETF! Grateful to everybody who participated in the BoF and chartering process. Details on next steps and how to get involved inside. atproto.com/blog/kicking...

The cool folks from the Eurosky team just brought you a new site: eurosky.tech, portal to the Atmosphere. I'd say it's the crispest explanation so far of what the Atmosphere brings: 1. one account 2. that works with a bunch of apps, and 3. your data from all apps is yours, portable, interoperable.

Today some of the most innovative creators & podcasters are launching social websites that will bring millions of their fans to the social web: verge.surf.social decoder.surf.social versionhistory.surf.social vergecast.surf.social wired.surf.social 404media.surf.social poweruser.surf.social

here's what I want I want anyone to be able to share their atmosphere handle in a non-link context (for instance in a professional bio or like the actor's bio they print in playbills) and if I google JUST THAT HANDLE, there's a site with great SEO that redirects to *their* preferred appview

we have @germnetwork.com badges on Bluesky profiles and @stream.place livestream links on avatars what other Atmospheric integrations would yall like to see in the Bluesky app?

just ate a big burrito, it's sunny and tree buds are bursting, feeling just great

来月、4月13日（月）に東京でBlueskyミートアップイベントを開催します🙌 428lab.connpass.com/event/387582/ 🏢 会場は大崎のFindy社オフィス @findy-code.bsky.social 🎤 ライトニングトーク登壇者公募中です 🤝 運営協力: 四谷ラボ @428lab.net / こぎそさん @kgsi.bsky.social 🎁 みりめいさん @kawaiirailroads.millie-may.net 描き下ろしのキャラクターステッカー、Blueskyステッカーを配布 ご参加お待ちしています！

this was my list of important topics going in to atmosphereconf. how did it hold up? funding models and precarity the main one here. VC model and re-distribution of money within ecosystem getting the most air time. I feel like the tangled raise didn't get celebrated/studied as much as it should...

a very full weekend and got in to it for the first time IRL with a bunch of folks. but still residual FOMO/JOMO... @drkalyncoghill.blacksky.team gave a good talk and I would have loved to talk more about labeling system. big fan of @dame.is projects + energy and didn't get to chat.

wait kelp forest mentioned?!! who is up holdfasting their frond

hanami wind-down back in Seattle after a very full and wonderful few days in Vancouver. love the whole atmosphere community, thanks for all the organizing, hope everybody has smooth travels home ✌️

As #ATmosphereConf draws to a close, this is a good time for me to let folks know that I'm looking for paid work! I have a strong background in project management in tech, and apparently am decent at event planning too now! If you need help with a project, let me know! (reshares appreciated) 💚💜

attention bluesky users

captured the in-person vibe well

Here's the updated "Funding Models Are Not Binary" slide from my Feature/Product/Business talk #ATmosphereConf. Turns out there are even more great examples already in the Atmosphere!

lovely plc headquarters

i couldn’t be more excited Inlay is finally out and open source! i’ve been working on this nonstop for the past few months. it’s a bit in the “mad science” territory but i hope it inspires you too to think about malleable and remixable social user interfaces
