So much good technical writing dropping today 👀🎁🔒

The future of cybersecurity is consumer

Waymo SF blackout incident postmortem: they basically DDOSed themselves when every Waymo in SF phoned home simultaneously saying "oh no, what do" waymo.com/blog/2025/12... "We are grateful to the city’s first responders for their tireless work, and to Mayor Lurie for his leadership." Translation:

Started working on this after @baileytownsend.dev posted about #ATmosphereConf badges. Now in Aether OS you can create a customizable ID with app badges linking out to your different atproto profiles. Check out mine here: aetheros.computer/id/montoulie...

happy holidays everyone, wishing you a lot of rest, snacks, and belly laughs ❤️❄️🕎

Happy holidays, Bluesky! I got you a megathrust earthquake, soil liquefaction, spine-tingling papers about the way our networks confound knowledge, and a PDF in a pear tree. It's my wrap on a year of trying to make sense of how we make sense of what's happening to us. www.wrecka.ge/landslide-a-...

Can I select a featured image on @leaflet.pub so that it shows up in my social media previews?

It's the last night of Chanukah. Keep shining bright, germs! 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🥔🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️

We Serve Nerds

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all. And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

bro pg&e is so embarassing side note has everyone watched the Enron movie? deep backstory

"Just under one year ago, my cofounder Mark and I decided to integrate our end-to-end encrypted messenger, Germ Network, with Bluesky's AT Protocol." Start with Part I of "1 Year on the AT Protocol" ⬇️ rhosf.leaflet.pub/3m7kwii6nws2...

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

Share your earworm 🪱 Mine rn is the first three yelps of Alanis’s “Ironic”: “Hay-yay-yay... (An old…man…)”

I heard you like Liquid Glass

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 20 Why blog?, by @tessa.germnetwork.com Essaying on the age old question of why we write; why we blog — and: why blog on *open social*? Exploring the dynamics of personal publishing and control, and most importantly, getting the ideas out!

Atrocious to read. And as @lyndab08.bsky.social highlights in this section, the tactic of breaking into someone’s car by immigration agents has become so normalized. An article from ProPublica highlights how they found 50 reports from this year compared to eight from the past decade before 2025.

I like AT handle

But fr it's going to be a whole new ballgame in 2026. A lot of the tech is getting solid, I expect private data to land, the devex is going to get constant love, bluesky's redoing the website and launching a lexicon discovery site, and the community is doing incredible stuff

2026 is gonna be the atmosyear

good shit @chrisshank.com chrisshank.leaflet.pub/3maf7mbsi222...

Lest we forget. Shabbat shalom, everyone

Sky’s the limit ☁️

@inter.net

Using "Bluesky" is short-sighted. It's a company w/ one app of thousands that will eventually on the Atmosphere. We should be promoting "@ATProtocol" as the "brand" & educate the masses on it's value statement. I'm forging ahead with "Enter your @ATProtocol handle or did".

happy holidays fam, may your tea be hot

Q101 I'm coming home 🤘

The 6 richest men in the world are all Trump allies. They control your algorithms and data on X, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and YouTube. Just in case you’re wondering why more isn’t done to stop right-wing bots and misinformation on social media.

please address me as

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns. www.axios.com/2025/12/18/t...

If your thing says Bluesky without mentioning Blacksky, it's cool -- I'm just going to act like you and your project and your company don't exist. It's atproto or stay on your side.

its just message

Great marketing defines the answer by the questions it asks: "what's your @?" "what can you do with it?" "where can you use it?" just one site? or everywhere worth going?

when a pull quote punches you in the stomach sigh. stakes are so high and this is just the tiniest most celebrity corner of it

What about it
