thanks bart

Please stop using OpenTorment!!! It's only open-core! TormentLibre is the fully FOSS alternative!

Surprise! A second leaflet on private data in AT, this time exploring some schemes that might be used to implement shared-private data.

Some initial thoughts on the requirements for AT's private data model

"but if you build a bomb we will both surely drown" said the frog. "lol" said the manhattan project. "lmao."

[while watching a lecture series on early japanese shinto beliefs and gods] oh so THAT'S where all those technique names in Naruto came from

we settled the “should designers write code” debate years ago. now it’s time for retribution. engineers: you’re learning color theory, type hierarchy, grid systems, copywriting, and navigation design. welcome to hell

goddess help me I have an office crush (upon another goddess)

kinda wish my phone had a "notification history" feature so that when I accidentally swipe away the message I've been procrastinating responding to for three days it wasn't just gone forever

the quiet irritation of looking at a dashboard that's supposed to be showing a huge performance improvement currently and isn't

Rage Against the Container Runtime

just got to the Cogwork Dancers fight in silksong and holy shit this is beautiful???

Some smart publication should reach out to every single person who signed the Harper’s letter and get their comment / explicit no-comment

Bluesky's success is in heavy part due to its tech, yet the details are hidden from users. It's a strange situation where everyone loves its strengths, and nobody has a clue how it works. ATProto could change the internet, but even experienced devs I talk to don't understand it.

The (fifteenth RacketCon) Will take place on October 4-5, 2025 at UMass Boston con.racket-lang.org Previous RacketCon talks are available over on the Racket YouTube channel: youtube.com/@racketlang

it's weird that rust has two versioning mechanisms: normal semver-like package versioning, and rust "editions" for the language itself do "editions for packages" make sense as a concept?

reading JEP 511 and noticed that when importing two modules that provide the same name, instead of failing by default neither gets imported so it's only a problem if you actually want to use that specific name god I wish racket module imports worked that way

got my ears pierced with my partner over the weekend and omg I love this

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city. This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Worth the click through on this one.

it's so hot today, fuck the kind of hot that makes you unable to do anything but lay around

gender affirming care should cover irresponsibly expensive piercings

ah yes, the diesel engine, so named after its inventor Mr. Engine

my expectations for atproto doom me to be tired by everything what’s that thing about overestimating what can be done in the short-term and underestimating the long-term

i think a lot of people using AI tools incorrectly mistake "i enjoy using this tool" for "this tool makes me more effective"

You should say what the alternatives are so people understand what you mean by this. Not that they should go back to X, but that they can migrate to PDS.witchcraft.systems, selfhosted.social, blacksky.app, @transrights.northsky.social They can use zeppelin.social, blacksky.community, deer.social

SILKSONG ACT 2 HERE WE GOOOOO

having only one moderation organization in charge of forty million people is and always will be a terrible experience

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

"wow, this guy's named The Last Judge? am I getting close to the end of silksong already?" *remembers the ACT 1 text at the beginning of the game* "oh. oh no."

in the US conservative mindset cishet conservative white men are top of the hierarchy and thus it is bad to shoot them, but also they are allowed to shoot people, so if one kills another it's just a wash. cancels out. thoughts and prayers, nothing to see here

great article

LOL. LMAO.

new favorite paper title: Optimal Brain Damage

today's cool thing I learned about: Hessian matrices

Fourth Chorus, Sister Splinter, Widow

I love Hornet's characterization. "I only do these quests for the rewards that benefit me and make me more powerful, which I why I gave you most of my shard stock to build a bridge over a hole I have never once fallen into."

not looking forward to the eventual day that's surely coming when some poor schmuck is gonna have to explain ATproto's architecture under oath to a judge in a censorship-related court case

I read the Ezra Klein piece and that class solidarity subtext really comes through. The idea is that Kirk, through the way he practiced politics (the specifics of which we won’t discuss because whoo boy) had made it. Kirk was one of them, and if he’s not safe they’re not safe. That’s it.

okay so that ATTACK part in the Slab is the most badass part of silksong so far, holy shit

things in silksong I did not expect to hit me in the feels: the little pilgrim

lol. lmao.
