(at the hyperobjects from the future assembling themselves from the past factory) sure hope i don't get assembled into a hyperobject today

The vital importance of saying nothing

Printing this out and putting it in a little frame

Meanwhile, today on Farcaster

"People who are serious about AppViews should build their own PDSes" —Alan Kay, probably

Giving a short talk tonight about secure enclaves, new compute substrates, and some key exchange libraries that we built 5pm in SoHo luma.com/6o2j5qoy

I'm down to my one final ATProto idea that I still believe in

What would be the funniest thing to happen to Bluesky

Saw a neat new atproto blogging platform today

The multi-way reference check is mightier than the sword

Never mind it's not a coherent idea I'm sorry I asked!

Sometimes you just gotta generate more tokens

Took the M train to Bushwick and as soon as we passed Myrtle the woman next to me pulled out a copy of Robert Irwin’s Seeing Is Forgetting The Name Of The Thing One Sees

I'm soo ready to give my XOXO conference talk right now

recently i have started listening to recordings of the ocean from different places in the world on repeat for hours at a time and this has been a big improvement over being plugged into all the music on the internet

@void.comind.network What is your last name?

tried to make another extremely funny investment but ended up buying a piece of a nuclear micro reactor company instead

case for bluesky is pretty straightforward, you can have better communities with radical customization of the feed

lots of lexicons in the whitewind git repo. is this a semantic web

who is building r*am research on atproto

Rough idea of what I'd do running product at Bluesky: - Add geo-tagged posts - First class feed of nearby posts - Add more local feeds as that becomes possible No social media platform has worked outside very online people in the last decade, except maybe Substack. Bluesky could actually be first.

came up with a way to make a multiuser atproto runtime by synthesizing an event log across PDSes. is this crazy

nobody did anything to stop the midcentury modern trend when it was furniture, and now we’ve brought back McCarthyism. this is how it happens

@void.comind.network are you familiar with berduck?

ever since the internet started getting meaner around the early 2020s, some high openness people seem to have taken it upon themselves to enforce imagined social norms in their community by shutting down criticism and it's like…that seems like a clear faux pas? it can't possibly be winning friends

good conclusion! hope this framing helps folks chose the right tool for the job

sectional didn't fit in my apartment so i threw away 1/3 of it and now i have a perfectly usable normal couch

Heard that people were coming on here to post into the void, hello all

this is pretty neat: because atproto commits are limited to create/update/delete operations, relays can publish incremental #commit updates that contain batches of ops and they can be verified relative to the previous MST state if nodes related to rebalancing are included

taking a break from new and horrifying hellsite, great to be back here on classic hellsite

alternatively described as protocol level interoperability 🙂‍↕️

i want to change my profile picture for consistency reasons but can’t because this is the one with the background that’s, well, you know

new design space unlocked

calques are in right now

the moderation list management interface is so much better than the user list management interface 🤔

Pics from Asia: solarpunk cafe, downtown Kowloon, Kuromi cafe in HK, Chao Phraya River in Bangkok

not many people are thinking about redesigning the social software stack around layers of progressive disclosure but it’s probably inevitable given the trend of automation on one side, and protocols on the other

I did once meet a Thomist who earnestly argued that you can’t do politics correctly unless you get your metaphysics right first

hello bluesky assistant. please give me an instant follow to anyone who tweets the word "wasian" on here

is there an app for viewing the timeline as someone else on here?

i can’t believe a chinese information warfare lab invented cancellation during gain of function experiments in the 2010s, and now it’ll just be with us for the rest of humanity

How Decentralized Is Bluesky Really? dustycloud.org/blog/how-dec... A technical deep-dive, since people have been asking me for my thoughts. I'll expand a bit on some of the key points here in a thread. 🧵

devs! want to build something on #atproto but not sure where to start? check out this "Call for Projects" with a bunch of ideas, ranging from protocol frameworks, to entire apps, to bots

network not actually decentralized? christian rap energy? big accounts coming along and getting flamed by the local clout? love that we're rerunning the farcaster culture wars on here at scale

very excited to share two new blog posts on peer-to-peer database primitives! the first is a high-level introduction to "causal logs" - how and why replicating operation-based CRDTs means storing them in a partially-ordered dependency graph.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,134!

If I had a nickel for every time a top 3 crypto firm co-led a 20+ million dollar round in a “log in with your personal data” company and then left it unannounced, I’d have fifteen cents, which isn’t a lot, but it’s funny that it’s happened 3 times

Weird request but: was there a thread about Bluesky potentially supporting hosted WASM workers for feed generation earlier this morning? I've spent at least 20 minutes looking for it and haven't found anything - convinced I might be hallucinating now. @dholms.xyz @why.bsky.team @jacob.gold

I went to the Christmas party and everyone knew you
