huge dispatch response for this right now in downtown Seattle. I didn't see any smoke or fire from the street, but it was dark and very windy

Really love these old school DL1414t displays! The datasheet is convoluted — and in some places plain wrong — but when it finally works they're a delight to look at.

when it is exciting it is exciting

what a great crew!

In my excitement at finally seeing these Tibetan Snowcocks, I took neither a good photo nor a video! This was up at 17,000 ft with Gokyo Lake below and Everest somewhere in the background! #birdoftheday #winterbirds #birds #eastcoastkin #wildlife #nature #scape #bluesky #mountains #video #pheasant

exciting day for @tangled.org and every other git host except for one

I haven't given it a deep reading yet, but this project has been cooking for a while now and is relevant to E2EE integrations in atmosphere and PLC

Went to Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 on a #splitboardtrip last month. We rode around on horses, felt a bit cowboy. Hard recommend. #splitboarding

The mysteries of the deep

i think the ability to treat microblogging as a public group chat and yap 50+ posts per day consistently is actually significantly rarer than being attractive enough for short form video

as a seattlite and unicode appreciator, can't believe I didn't know about 🇱🇸

My crazy idea to cram all of the AT Protocol into a single deployable container. Works with SQLite, Postgres and potentially more data stores in the future. Steps are literally deploy container -> import your lexicons -> backfill -> build your app with the GraphQL APIs. quickslice.slices.network

My Christmas decor consists of about three items and one of them is this cool dude

'tap' is a big deal for backend devs! it gives you more of the benefits of AT, and makes the interface simpler at the same time. it makes backfill easy enough that you can re-index the network as part of your ops workflow. handles re-synchronization so you never miss a record event...

is there a *mr* information?

to sincere post a bit: the ability to receive important timely updates like this one, from regional govt and institutions like this over an open protocol (vs closed/proprietary platforms) is a huge part of why I work on AT

really happy and impressed with the momentum ROOST is building around open tooling and collaboration. particularly Osprey and Coop as bread-and-butter systems for human analysts and mod teams

@laurenshof.online reading your most recent newsletter and thinking about Paul Otlet. recommend this book on early info cataloging and internationalist efforts if you haven't seen it; @robin.berjon.com you might like it also

looking for feedback on these proposed permission sets for app.bsky.*, chat.bsky.*, and tools.ozone.*

"we are clean on opsec" I mumble while toggling !no-unauthenticated

every time I see HATEOAS I think "online discourse as engine of application success" and wince

pretty good and some new ideas/framing in here. eg, not just the enshittification story.

interested in standardization of AT at the IETF? there are ongoing discussions happening on the mailing list, and there will be a video call this Wednesday to discuss the scope of work, especially around DIDs and identity. more details in this email thread: mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/atp...

I should build an atproto app 🤔

I think bad / misrepresentative headlines and how they play out on social web are one of the silliest problems of modern info ecosystem. is collective actin/bargaining around this impossible within the industry? maybe an outsider wiki-style project to rewrite headlines?

this is one of the more thoughtful and balanced things i've read about LLMs in a while! it hits a lot of my feels about social dynamics and use within a team.

this comparison has probably been made by others, but it just struck me how similar LibsOfTikTok is to the Degenerate Art / Entartete Kunst exhibition

bunch to chew on here around sidecar services and how atproto-specific identity/auth should be

this is great! I learned a bunch

This is U N B E L I E V A B L E. #Kilauea

thinking about design patterns and data stores for indexing billions of AT records

Built a little AT Protocol playground - a single HTML file that lets you watch the firehose, create records, and browse any repo with a dynamic form UI. Changes sync directly back to your PDS. #atproto at.selem.im

'goat' is now in homebrew! $ brew install goat formulae.brew.sh/formula/goat

The AT Protocol PLC Directory allows a higher-priority rotation key to revert a key change for 72h. But what good is that window if you don't know about a change? Well, here's an Atom feed generator of PLC operations for any handle/DID. at.geomys.org/plc/

just one more meeting bro. you will certainly not regret one more meeting.

I sure do love @machinepix.bsky.social

YouTube Wrapped You spent 2,186 minutes watching: Donald Duck Eating Corn On The Cob (ASMR) We believe your reason for watching this was: Not Sexual

made a width-responsive pretty-printer with Prettier's "Doc" system. not sure I've seen this done before? it's nice! also I made "type" keys show up as sexpr-style heads, and "id" keys show up as a little hashtags. adapting notation to your own practices for ergonomics and concision is dope!

Wrote my first leaflet! This is about the threat-model of PLC & the current work we're doing to address that including making the directory more auditable

And every year since and hence, the Gravy Sub will emerge at the turning of fall to winter to remind us that all is folly. Also it is incredibly top-heavy and the level of the pouring spout is far below the depth of the internal chamber.

In communities across the country, we’re hearing from everyday people that they are hungry for a new way to connect with neighbors online. Our team at New_ Public, a nonprofit focused on building digital public spaces, is creating Roundabout, a new social app and website, now in closed beta. 🧵

I pushed a new release of 'goat' (v0.2.0)! the main update is that most of the lexicon tooling from 'glot' got merged in, so you can 'goat lex pull app.bsky.feed.' etc the commands changed a bit which might impact CI usage (hopefully for the better!)

some of you are still in denial about the impact my Shrink Ray technology is going to have on every aspect of everyday life, not to mention macro economics, in the next few weeks
