this is a great and important effort! even with PLC moving out of Bluesky PBC it is important to have more replicas, especially with regional diversity and the ability to "step in" and accept ops if needed. strong endorse work in this direction.

Great to see a key piece of the AT Protocol ecosystem being structured for long term independence - the PLC Directory of account identifiers will now be managed & maintained by a Swiss Association

Building a decentralized, distributed web is vital to finding and preserving information for all, @archive.org founder @brewster.kahle.org tells EFF’s Cindy Cohn and @thejasonkelley.com on the latest episode of “How to Fix the Internet.”

Woot, woot! Go Hoot! 🦉🙌🥳

You are your environment

Learn how ICE is getting data from our phones, license plates, even tax data, and why we have to work together to protect our communities, from @kqednews.kqed.org and EFF's @cooperq.com: www.kqed.org/news/120556...

On average, within the US about 300ms. International maybe up to a second at very worst case, since our serving DCs are US based

@pfrazee.com When a user posts to Bluesky, how quickly does that spread to all the "logical nodes" or whatever people get events from? Like it hits 90% in North America in 10 seconds? I don't know how those stats work in cloud or whats normal.

@atpi.at is live. A tiny set of tools and integrations to resolve AT Protocol URLs and preview atproto JSON data! - Direct URL prefixing (atpi.at//...) - npm pkg - Chrome Extension - VS Code Extension and... some fun ones! Check out: docs.atpi.at It’s not just an API. It’s ATPI. GET it?

FWIW I agree... I'm co-author of ActivityPub and I wrote about combining ActivityPub and DIDs in 2017 github.com/WebOfTrustIn... (Also appears in the Bluesky proposal I co-authored with Jay back in the day, amongst other things gitlab.com/-/snippets/2... )

Just a draft, but a very exciting draft to have www.ietf.org/archive/id/d...

What do open source freedom, anti-surveillance lawsuits, and data privacy heroes have in common? They're all being celebrated at the EFF Awards! RSVP today to join us on September 10 in San Francisco: eff.org/effawards

incredibly brainwormed

“Your driver's license contains a ton of somewhat immutable information about you” like your name, address, DOB, and face, EFF’s Lisa Femia told the @thetennesean.bsky.social. It's not like a credit card number that can be replaced if it's leaked.

We're sharing details for next week's ATProto NYC Community Hack Day! We're gathering at Hex House in East Williamsburg, thanks to member @cwervo.bsky.social - an art studio & community space - for a day of learning & coding together, followed by an evening social and presentations

i'll be at this event !! super excited to see what people are cooking in the @atproto.com ecosystem 🥰

Faster and more featureful, it's a brand new release of @spritelyinst.bsky.social Goblins! :) spritely.institute/news/spritel...

go atproto devs: merged a new OAuth client SDK to indigo today. curious for feedback on the API shape! iterated on this a couple times and fairly happy how it came out. hope this makes go web app projects much easier

📄✨ New paper! Emilie Ma (kewbi.sh) and I looked at the problem of users of end-to-end encrypted apps recovering their private keys if their device is lost, broken, or stolen. We found a cryptographic approach that is decentralised and resilient against social engineering arxiv.org/abs/2507.21122

The Ink & Switch team is coming through London and we're having a social to share some recent news and research from the lab, and catch up with people in London interested in local first, malleable software, and other similar areas of making better computing. Aug 16th, 6pm in London

Just resubmitted the attestation and signature spec proposal to Lexicon Community! I've refined the approach based on production experience with badges and RSVPs in Smoke Signal. This gives ATProtocol cryptographic attestations for third-party verification.

Do you write TypeScript? Enjoy Automerge? Love building both tools and community? You might be a great fit for our ✨new✨ Automerge TypeScript Maintainer role! www.inkandswitch.com/jobs/automer... (Remote role, 🇬🇧 UK-based preferred but not required)

I was looking over some old notes the other day when I bumped into some old musings of mine, dreaming of "self adaptive UIs". This is way more thought-out take.

Hello, world! Follow this page for the latest updates on the ATProto Browser - an open source tool for browsing files stored on the atproto network. www.atproto-browser.dev

this is really great! it goes beyond "how to use Cloudflare products" to describe a nice atproto design pattern for any serverless infra

This article was mentioned by @brianmc.bsky.social in today's TechMeme Ride Home. I found it interesting because "temporal distortion" is a phenomenon in aviation where a pilot's perception of time taken during an event is often far different than the actual time. secondthoughts.ai/p/ai-coding-...

i have made an article about what happened yesterday, with all relevant&irrelevant context and the pds surgery procedure itself! ~4k words

The EFF is 35 years old but the battle to defend internet freedom is far from over, Cindy Cohn tells @theregister.com – omniscient government databases, shadowy data brokers, and judicial overreach still abound.

Cows freaking love music and it is the wildest thing to watch... 😭❤️

P.S. yes, we'll talk about ATProto as part of this. But also! On Friday, Aug 22nd, we're working on details for an ATProto NYC Community Hack Day. So if you want MORE ATPROTO, then RSVP on Smoke Signal smokesignal.events/did:plc:lehc...

Join our second #macroexpand gathering. Using #Clojure for #data analysis, modeling, engineering, or #dataviz? Whether you're with a startup, consultancy, academic institution, or an individial practitioner, you are invited. 📣 Please share this broadly: clojureverse.org/t/macroexpan...

Hey out there to our Bay Area ATProto nerds and ATProto curious friends. @germnetwork.com and ATProto Community Fund are hosting an ATProto meetup at the Internet @archive.org this coming Tuesday July 8th! Come on out, hack and chat: lu.ma/mf4n7jbi

@atproto.at - AT Protocol explorer is live! Instantly preview, browse, search, log in, edit, stream, and download any AT Protocol data. Works with any at:// URI, DID, or Bluesky handle. Free, open-source, mobile-friendly (PWA). No app needed. Launch notes: sri.xyz/projects/atp... #atproto

Getting closer to native support for Solana and Ethereum wallets in a fork of the Bluesky app. h/t to @piss.beauty for suggesting SIWE instead of just signing a raw message like I did with Solana.

Bay Area! We'll remind you next week, but join us at the Internet Archive on Tuesday, July 8 for an #ATProto meetup in San Francisco! We'll have something to show you... RSVP here >>>>> lu.ma/mf4n7jbi
