this is going to be a game changer for atproto app developers

I wonder how many of those over-excited early Omarchy adopters have already gone back to vanilla arch linux or whathever distro they were using before the hype

You're working under a slight handicap. You happen to be human.

forget Jim Cramer, Ed Zitron on Chapo Trap House? wtf

You are wise, witty, and wonderful, but you spend too much time reading this sort of trash.

Speaking of oauth, I wish PDS supported openid connect.

AGI any day now

PDS supremacy should not be compromised by the silly read-after-write problem

I have been running a bot posting fortunes every 20 minutes, from my serverless pds, to monitor its behavior. So far so good. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Not gonna lie, I find leaflet UI confusing

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social is on bluesky 😱

"Writing" was often paired with "reading" which was a skill used by a priestly caste to access written records. Unfortunately, this skill is now lost.

j’ai voté @etiennegrandmont.bsky.social au porte-parolat de QS. Bonne chance, Étienne

I did some work on my bookmarks importer app. I don’t know yet how to tackle bsky’s PDS rate limits (1666 record creates per hour per account). I don’t think having thousands of bookmarks is uncommon.

is it possible to have a <name>.bsky.social resolve to a selfhosted PDS?

What is the reason the jetstream is not recommended for “serious” AppViews? is it because of the lack of signatures? what if I trust the jetstream (and its upstream firehose)?

Next headline: Ed Zitron caught using ChatGPT to write his hot takes

Finished @steveklabnik.com 's jj tutorial. So good. I thought git's reign was going to last for decades to come.. not anymore! 🤯

I've noticed Bluesky entering mainstream conversations more and more, most of the time characterized as some sort of leftist enclave. I'm not sure whether that kind of cultural framing helps or hinders its adoption (my intuition is that it could help)

I find the current recommendation for extending lexicons (using sidecar records) ... meh (weaker cohesion, consistency challenges...) #atproto

Old enough to have used CVS unironically

I’m going to try out jj-vcs for my current personal project. Expectations are high.

Hello @tijs.org. I'm writing a small app to import my old getpocket (RIP) bookmarks to my PDS (as community.lexicon.bookmarks.bookmark records). I see that kipclip defines its own tag record type www.val.town/x/tijs/kipcl... , how does that interact with the existing "bookmark" tags array field? 🤔

true story: this was the first OS I installed on a PC of my own, around 1999. #rocksolid #thepowertoserve

I understand that Ed Zitron is annoying, but before you criticize him, ask yourself: does an industry that has the financial backing of HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS needs your help to defend itself from a podcaster?

I never thought I would witness the United States being governed by a band of online trolls.

I’ve been thinking about how PDSs are relatively heavy artifacts in the AT Protocol ecosystem. They're typically mapped one-to-one to a user (or some anthropomorphized entity), which makes sense given the "Personal" in Personal Data Server.

What are your favorite Feeds?

consuming the atproto firehose using durable objects 🤯

Interchangeability is what new social platforms like Bluesky and Mastodon are doing, though with different technologies and different ideas on how to do it. When you hear talk about decentralization, it's about making the social platforms interchangeable to solve the neutrality problem.

I wrote some notes about running a PDS on cloudflare workers during my flight Toronto-Quebec : leaflet.pub/24abb069-60c... (cc @knowtheory.net @nichoth.com )

This is, I think, the first PDS emitting from a "serverless" platform: bsky.app/profile/svwj... (if we don't count Eli Mallon's "static" PDS). Inspired by @iame.li 's amazing blog.stream.place/3lut7mgni5s2k and @bnewbold.net 's "what does a PDS implementation entail". atprotify.me #atproto

OMG

very preliminary, but I think I have a minimal proto-PDS running on cloudflare workers.

I think I will not buy a Framework desktop in the near future.

unpopular opinion: drama is actually good for bluesky

Rampant confusion among user surrounding the differences between AppViews, PDSs, and Relays within a community that ridiculed Mastodon for making users select an instance.

Can 3 days of Bluesky posts be stored in memory?

Of course we hate AI bots pretending to be humans, we saw what one of them did to Lt. Ellen Ripley and the rest of the Nostromo crew

Busy weekend for the “sad atproto” feed bsky.app/profile/did:...

old enough to have used en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_... to search for Shadowrun fanmade content

And they have quickly discovered that the main issue with doing moderation on a big Social Network For Everyone is you have multiple mutually unpleasable constituencies comprised of people with varying degrees of reasonableness, who all subscribe to "moderation for thee, but not for me."

This is exactly the kind of situation where bluesky was supposed to shine (users upset with the admins, having real alternatives thanks to ATProto) and it’s not working out that way.

Outrage theater at @jay.bsky.team 's "WAFFLES" response isn’t constructive, it's just noise. JFC.

VS Code says I'm the 12th person to download and install slices.network 's Lexicon extension. I had never been such an early adopter before.

I run my own feed generators but graze.social is awesome

Twitter: where some random guy with 3 brain cells thinks he can correct the Pope on Catholic doctrine.

E-commerce feels like an interesting fit for ATProto: think sellers owning their stores while plugging into potentially multiple marketplaces (appviews). Customers could follow stores, access social-graph-informed feeds of products, etc

Put my Rust version of the Statusphere tutorial on tangled.org. It's a solid place to start if you want to learn how to write atproto applications in Rust tangled.org/@baileytowns...

In other news from the culture wars front, DHH is owning the libs by restoring “master” as his git default branch name. Bold move. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
