it has been great working with bunny.net! I recommend them often, and would build on their CDN again in a heartbeat

best part of the IETF was getting to talk about our amazing ecosystem 💙

Bluesky rn

this is a *ton* of work. very impressed, and I think it will really pay off in the long run, in terms of having a codebase that folks can understand, operate, and hack on

Been building on the Atmosphere? The official Lexicon codegen tooling has some rough edges for third-party devs: • Bundle bloat • Painful maintainability • Inflexible client/server modes Wrote up the pain points (and there might be a solution coming 👀)

AT service operators and moderation thinkers: I put together an early proposal around infra abuse notices across organizational boundaries. really looking for feedback on this one, it is bait for counter-proposals and references to prior work!

it is 2025 and I have been on team "augment not automate" for almost 20 years

ai is like cars

it's me, unnamed critter from bosch's triptych of the temptation of anthony!

wow, I didn't know how I missed this last week! this is exactly the sort of project I'm excited to see happening with the feed system: strong values/vision/opinion, collab with @graze.social, research background, user configurable

check out @stechlab-labels.bsky.social

pretty interesting protocol-level lexicon data validation scenario! we knew this would happen eventually, and now it has

very clearly laid out vision

damn week two and he's already making up words

is there a “weird fish i cooked for dinner” feed yet?

for folks working with the PLC identity system: we are planning to remove a set of non-compliant operations from the directory, which should make it easier to implement replicas and audits. these are predominantly test operations created by security researchers.

deep dive in to twitter UI changes over time

There was already a *lot* going on with Bluesky, and now it's under even more pressure. I wrote about how I think about moderation, affordances, expectations, human needs, and powerful trolls for @techpolicypress.bsky.social www.techpolicy.press/trump-admini...

It’s weird that of all the scifi media predicting the future Tim and Eric’s Celery Man sketch got it the closest

I wish I had elaborate costumes for certain types of programming. like, oh, newbold is wearing that traditional samurai outfit at his desk again, I guess he's resolving a big merge conflict

"The Setting Sun" looks cool, but pretty meh. sake, grenadine, etc

Has anyone ever combined something like Wikipedia with something like McMaster-Carr? A community-edited catalog and taxonomy of materials and parts?

@retr0.id wait does this work well? if so changes my vibe on USB C a bit. can you do power? what kind of transfer speed?

hey folks, we've heard reports that some posts and accounts weren't showing up in search. there was a technical issue on our end that prevented a small number of new posts and accounts from getting indexed. we're backfilling the missing data now, and search results should return to normal soon.

is there a Discourse yet that AI glasses are anti-accessibility because they will make people distrust folks with regular spectacles

Godspeed You! Slack Emperor

We're excited to announce an experimental feature on at://work: user-intents. This lets you publicly declare how your professional data and activity should be used. This puts you in control over privacy preferences that travel with your identity across the network.

We are doing a second round of research interviews with people who build feeds (or build tools to build feeds), this time focusing on questions of sustainability. - Is this a hobby for you, or something else? - What sustains it in your eyes? Please fill out the form below, and we'll reach out! 🙏🙏🙏

Alright my CBOR parser now has a DAG mode (and tunable flags if you want to be a little less strict when decoding) and passes all the relevant tests in this suite. I’ve got a PR open to add the Swift library to the suite too! github.com/thecoolwinte... github.com/hyphacoop/da...

wonder if erowid traffic and community participation are down due to AI sumarization

put out a new 'goat' release (v0.1.2) with basic support for PDS administration ('goat pds admin ...'). if you run it from a PDS instance it should find admin auth info automatically. hope to have this replace the 'pdsadmin' shell script over time

i physically cannot stop myself from posting this even though no one will care but hands down best book for a hand cameo has gotta be "hand book". exact perfect book for a hand. thanks to this hands on google books employee whoever you are!!! (via wikimedia commons)

I'm ready for the next World Cup⚽️ サッカー大好きですっ☆特に関節技が得意ですっ☆

atmosphere devs! 🧑‍🚀 just published a protocol checkin: docs.bsky.app/blog/protoco... tl;dr expect to see a lot of updates from us in the next few months. we're hard at work on making AT easier to build on & ensuring the network remains a resilient foundation for the future of open social

> Based on our investigation, the issue appears to be related to DNS resolution of the DynamoDB API endpoint in US-EAST-1. there it is

kind of embarrassed how helpful this is

there is an AWS incident happening in us-east-1: health.aws.amazon.com/health/status Bluesky has been mostly unaffected so far, but automated emails may be impacted, including communication of moderation actions

if somebody made the Star Trek replicators in real life, what would the discourse be? w/r/t jobs, art, copyright. I think very different from LLMs. the material abundance would be salient; the social/intellectual/creative alienation less a concern

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

It's big Trump protest day so that means we are mere hours away from my least favorite Bluesky: the Russian disinfo surge. Here's how it works, and what you can do about it. 🧵

@clearsky.app could you fix your shit? these are not real accounts, and doing a ranked list like this keeps freaking people out. if you want accurate counts you should check against PDS, or just query the PDS for a list. most of the morel counts are also fake, and the plc.surge.sh ones also fake.

CTO: So are we clean on OPSEC? Backend: Sure are boss, real fuckin sexy for #FCF, just like you asked. CTO: what

what is everybody up to this weekend? any big events going on?

as a reminder: bluesky (the app) has a broad set of user interactions controls. beyond blocking and block lists, we have features to control who can reply, mention, and quote-post accounts
