I spend ten years telling people that S3 is not a filesystem and then AWS goes and makes me a liar aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/la... So, if you wanna access your S3 over NFS, I guess you can do that now

1/6 Et si le plus grand obstacle à la résolution de la crise climatique, ce n'était pas le charbon, ni les lobbys, ni même le déni, mais la façon dont circule l'information ? 👇

The future is not something we predict. It’s something we co-create! 🖖 I just published a personal write-up sharing reflections from an event we co-organized in Paris with friends from @radxchange.bsky.social. whtwnd.com/yutingjiang....

5/7 Notre système démocratique est défaillant, et cette faillite est parfaitement incarnée par nos modes de scrutin archaïques, comme le rappelait @science4all.org lundi 👉 bsky.app/profile/scie...

4/7 On y oublie l'autre démocratie, celle des gens qui ne font pas de la politique un métier, qui sont massivement d'accord sur des sujets structurants et qui ne se résument pas aux profils que les algorithmes ciblent, façonnent, et auxquels les politiques s'adressent désormais quasi exclusivement.

apenwarr.ca/log/20260316 This is why good teams right now are a few real seniors augmented with AI. Because a defining trait of seniority is knowing exactly where and when you can cut corners and when you need extra trust. Of course this is not very sustainable...

Just added the 12th chapter to my Agentic Engineering Patterns guide, but it's the first one in the sequence: I figured it was time to try and answer the obvious question, "What is agentic engineering?" simonwillison.net/guides/agent...

Launching 𝗩𝗢𝗫𝗜𝗧 𝗘𝗨: a new European initiative to develop deliberative tools that help communities build consensus across Europe and beyond. I’m proud that our little startup @agoracitizen.network stands alongside institutional teams!

One day when AI will learn by itself how to code, it will reinvent languages and frameworks from scratch and all our work will go to garbage. One day the new generation of agents will be vibe coding apps themselves in seconds based on our context.

The new version of Kitty terminal is so good! Adds so many features I've been wanting, especially in modern terminal-based coding agents era sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/change...

This is … actually great? I signed in via Element X on iOS.

Atproto really nailed verification mechanisms

I'm more bullish for agents using ucan.xyz to authenticate than crypto directly. I wouldn't trust an agent to handle my bank account. But I can trust them to do some actions that are ultimately potentially being charged, so long as I am monitoring it. Ucan is very simple and powerful.

Re on this, @takerufukushima.bsky.social tinkered to find the best way to implement guests. We'll probably going for did:web for each guests. Seems straightforward!

having used claude extensively for the past couple of months, i think there is still a lot of value to understanding your code and steering it intentionally. the amount of incidental complexity claude accumulates otherwise (which mostly results in bugs that it can't ever fix reliably) is staggering.

LLM won't kill software engineering. Quite the opposite. So much more work is FINALLY at reach. Things were so slow before. It's still kinda slow now, but we can build so much FASTER! As a founder and a builder with so many ideas I have no time to work on (even now), it's super exciting!

Every such announcement is incredible news for everyone building in the Atmosphere. No better way to signal that atproto is an ecosystem worth investing in. Huge congrats to @anirudh.fi and @oppi.li you guys rock!

Here is (part of) the team that is making #DWebCamp happen. We had some truly insightful conversations at @c-base.org yesterday, thank you to all who participated! For those who are interested but were not able to join, please stay tuned. More coming soon! Tickets on sale from the 9th March 2026.

The simplest approach would be for atproto to support did:key instead of did:plc. And then allow upgrading/merging did:key guest accounts into did:plc/did:web accounts.

Even with option 3, a fundamental property of AT Protocol doesn't change: your PDS holds your signing key and can sign content on your behalf. Keeping a rotation key client-side makes walking away easier, but a malicious provider could still forge posts under your name until you rotate.

Has anyone in the atproto ecosystem thought about lightweight "guest" accounts? For things like deliberation tools (such as Polis or Agora), people need to be able to participate without even logging in. Open a link, vote, done.

Has anybody already worked on an organizations Lexicon for atproto? Would love to collaborate on this.

For dds.xyz, we need appviews to manage the same organizations across different contexts. On Bluesky you can create an org account like @agoracitizen.network, but that has real limitations for collaborative work.

I never even had the ambition to move to the US. Yet, I'm still mourning the American Dream. That's how powerful the US soft power was.

I'm kinda confused. So we can migrate our PDS to @npmx.dev infra. (Where? There is a standard bridge tool somewhere?) What's in it for npmx? Just accepting all the traffic for the sake of it? Is this durable? Genuinely asking.

App stores could be replaced by having apps published to a PDS, with safety provided using content moderation tooling, search indexed from the firehose, etc. thoufh. We strike aggregators everywhere that they stand.

We just updated one of Agora's core pages — the Analysis tab. "Common Ground" is out. "Approved" and "Rejected" are in. Here's why 👇

Top PDSes as of right now (with a few spammy/unknown omitted). Numbers should be more or less up to date now (taking my method of counting into account), I've run a full rescan 📊 blue.mackuba.eu/directory/pd...

The "Connect to Atmosphere" UX is pretty neat in @npmx.dev

New reddit alternative built on AT

Long overdue but we're excited to share this case study from a pilot with UNESCO in October! www.agoracitizen.network/blog/unesco-...

We should legislate identity portability for email addresses. We have it for phone numbers, where the technical challenge was much greater. We should have it for email, too.

I made a website: www.dds.xyz Feedback welcome

I've been thinking about how to cross the participant perspective maps (shadows through "human perspective space") with the statements semantic maps (shadows through "statement meaning space")... This gives me food for thought: Votes flashing over time in meaning space! x.com/workflowsauc...

Some of these are fair criticisms (a hundred million in VC funding is always gonna be a huge liability) but many parts of your argument are actively becoming outdated. I’ll list a few, but also your threat model is off. Acquired platforms don’t close down overnight. There’s always a window of exit.

I wrote a deep dive on CIDs, the self-describing cryptographic fingerprints behind every record, blob, commit, and Merkle tree node in ATProtocol. Part 1 covers the history, the encoding primitives, and the specific constraints ATProtocol applies.

Notes on other approaches to permissioned data by @ngerakines.me We are very far from converging, so it’s good to get different approaches shared. I’d love to see Keyhive compose with atproto private data approaches - one system from local first to published.

Unpopular opinion: GitHub, GitLab and the likes have a brilliant future ahead. They're not going anywhere, they're only getting stronger and more profitable.

Enforcing the use of secp256k1 only is a mistake imho. I see that repeatedly in crypto-inspired protocols like Nostr. For cryptocurrency, I kinda understand. It's battle tested. But secp256k1 is not supported by WebCrypto, so it really hurts adoption on the web, especially for social protocols.

It doesn't seem to be common knowledge that bsky runs their PDS vertically scaled on bare-metal servers with 300K+ accounts per server, so I wrote it up discourse.atprotocol.community/t/vertical-s... Anyone have availability, failover, or other performance setups to add?

We need more conservatives, more crypto bros, more accelerationnists, more everything people currently on this network don't like. Saying that as someone who's most often aligned with the majority here. Otherwise, Bluesky will remain no less of an echo chamber than X, despite all the fancy tech.

It was never about code, anyway, and people need to understand that

The new custom For You algorithm on Bluesky is pretty nice. I am finally discovering interesting content. My feed was so boring I barely opened the app anymore despite being hyped about atproto since long before pre-launch... bsky.app/profile/did:...

No offence but that's exactly the kind of thinking that makes me run away from the Fediverse. Extreme political ideology

So 1Password does not want to implement a straightforward fix to a serious security flaw compromising the core promise "1password cannot access your passwords, data leaks from our server don't matter". What's the heck? I suggest moving to @keepassxc.org, or eventually to Bitwarden.
