👋 my recent contracts have ended (and my buffer’s running a bit thin) so I’m looking for what’s next spent the last year focused on OSS work, which I’ve loved, and now open to new opportunities! if you’re looking for a dev, pls to reach out! I've shared more about how I work below 🫡

Magically all the podcasters have been using their sponsors' products for 10 years already, since way before they were getting sponsored by them, even though it's always the same handful of products across all those podcasts, and I don't know any regular person using them.

See you all next week in Berlin at the AT Protocol community meetup. 9 people RSVPd going. @atproto.berlin

New AT Protocol website got launched! Yay 🥳

Feeds like "For You" should have a "Shake me" button (for shaking them like a snow globe) for when they have constrained you too much into a small thematic bubble and you want to widen it again and let some new stuff in.

Interesting labeler that shows you which other ATProto apps someone is using by checking for non-Bluesky lexicon data.

#atproto is nuts. I’ve never had the experience where I’ve downloaded a new social app, opened it, and everyone is already there. That was the experience I just had with #Popfeed. Absolutely bonkers

The @jamestalarico.bsky.social interview that the new Trumpian CBS owners didn't allow on air. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ...

I recently tried to use Github Projects and got so mad I started another side-project: skyboard.dev! Skyboard is Trello but on the AT Protocol, a collaborative kanban board where all the data lives in your atproto repo so you control your boards forever

A web desktop, filled with your ATProto data. Tune in to the @aetheros.computer stream today.

Will it be national news? Will it cause performative outrage? Will he be censured? Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

On the @oxide.computer and friends podcast last month we (primary credit @ahl.bsky.social) coined the term "Deep Blue" for the sense of psychological ennui leading into existential dread that many software developers are feeling thanks to LLMs right now simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/15/...

this is probably the coolest thing ive seen on this site in a while, imo because its the culmination of multiple parts of the app working together to make this possible also i use this app way too much lol

What do people do to monitor the Bsky PDS they host? There doesn't seem to be any exporting of service metrics. Was that a design decision or just delayed?

Quite the chart

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

Join us for an informal AT Protocol meetup February 24, 2026 in Berlin! We'll share project updates, demos, and lessons learned building on ATProto. Please RSVP: smokesignal.events/did:plc:oals... Location: Bitcrowd offices Köpenickerstr 126 10179 Berlin

this @blento.app thing is sick btw

I think it’s time to elevate the Atmosphere branding as ‘your everything-account for the Internet’. Bluesky is not “the last social identity you’ll ever have to create”, your Atmosphere identity is. Bluesky = one of many Google apps Atmosphere = your Google account

I can save bookmarks with @margin.at, file them in collections created with @semble.so, and both bookmarks and collections are visible in Margin and in Semble Oh, and if either Margin or Semble shut down, this wouldn't impact my data All of this dark magic is only possible thanks to AT Proto

🔴 LIVE https://stream.place/pfrazee.com And we are live with office hours!

Permissioned data is one of the biggest additions to the protocol since launch and we're determined to get it right. @dholms.at has a characteristically thoughtful post to kick things off about why we're not building in end-to-end encryption for this phase.

we just rolled out an experimental integration with @germnetwork.com, an E2E encrypted chat app that integrates with atproto. Germ users can add a button to their profile so others can message them from Bluesky. we're exploring ways to connect your profile with other apps in the Atmosphere.

We now have data from Trump's first full year in office. Let's review the performance of Trump and the two parties since 1989 and a new age of globalization began. However you cut the data Trump continues to have worst jobs record of last six Presidents. 1/

This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

"If the government may simply seize *someone* without due process, there is no check on its ability to seize *anyone*." Perhaps the most fundamental check against tyranny. And it is gravely threatened.

Meanwhile, on German public TV youtu.be/zGTNamUzn_Q?...

v1.116 is rolling out now! For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses? People

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

I'm thinking of building a logged in version of the For You playground: linklonk.com/bluesky It could have some personal stats and settings. What would you like to see/do on that page?

This is actually a pretty good server hardening video youtu.be/40SnEd1RWUU?...

The president constantly lying about stolen elections, after staging a coup attempt, & now threatening to federalize & steal future elections, should be the primary news story in the country 24/7 & on every front page until he is impeached & removed next week.

Donald Trump will not be president forever. He and his administration will be held accountable one way or another — and the Illinois Accountability Commission will make sure we do just that.

💯 Every. Fucking. Word.

Casual reminder that a bill must pass *both* the House and the Senate (and get signed by POTUS) to become law. The DHS / ICE appropriations bill passed the House. It still needs to pass the Senate with 60 votes. That vote will be *NEXT WEEK* Call your Senators.🔥📞🔥

15-0 is quite a record.

This is an extraordinary abuse of power and direct violation of the First Amendment.

What makes me terrified and unable to sleep: it looks like Democracy and the rule of law could collapse for good in the US, and if the US becomes a full dictatorship it'll work together with other authoritarians to stomp out the last remaining democracies in the world. Not a world I want to live in.

Imagine the state of decomposition in a 4th term

BALINT: Do you believe that President Trump's DOJ will find some way to indict you? JACK SMITH: I believe they will do everything in their power to do that because they've been ordered to by the president

McBath plays audio of Trump asking Raffensperger to find votes for him

Jack Smith: "Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power. President Trump attempted to induce state officials to ignore true vote counts…"

Wow

"...he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them." "...no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust...shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title...from any King, Prince, or foreign State."
