Overwhelming to hear about how much the AT community showed up today at IETF. I wish I could've been there. I'm sure many people deserve special thanks, but I do want to highlight @bmann.ca for helping to get people there. I feel so fortunate to be a part of such a great group of people.

i think the mamdani exodus will be significantly smaller than pandemic population decline

at some point i think one of the companies will start recording sync+track data from dj setups installed in venues and attempt to train a model to do it and, i %100 believe it's both possible to train the model to do this & that any club which would offer you a non-human DJ should not be attended

Also fun little note. I usually make all the music for my videos from scratch with my modular synth setups. I record straight to sd card via resampling. 😁

Spent the day with Yusuf Abdul Qadir in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. PART 2 in comments! Yusuf has a long career of designing equitable solutions for connectivity in African nations & is uniquely qualified to speak on the shortcomings of global human rights technology community. Watch & please share. 🧙🏾‍♂️

If you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, @alexhanna.bsky.social and I will be here this evening 👇🏼

it should have raised more alarms when google changed their motto from "don't be evil" to "go ahead and be as evil as you like"

@timnitgebru.bsky.social being on Bluesky big discovery. Definitely want to get her involved in our independent tech journalism streams. If anyone knows her Gonna post a recent highlight with Dr. Yusuf Qadir later today talking about great research and owning the agenda of Africa’s tech future.

🎯 the one gift from the far right going mainstream is that it has given “permission” or cover for a big part of the population to show their true colors. I’m glad we can clearly see where their line is cause mine never changed

racism is OPSEC's best friend

REMINDER! — nyc atproto friends! — hosting a meetup in Brooklyn this Wednesday evening, RSVP here! 🦋🗽🍕🍻🙌✨ We'll do a lil show and tell [twist: share a fave project someone *else* made!], talk ideas for collab & growing the atmosphere… I'll send another reminder soon to solicit pizza requests :)

People that shit on Bluesky because the “critical mass is on Twitter and that’s it’s best feature” …the best feature of Bluesky is the ability to rebuild the “critical mass”without the desperate capitalism. Twitter’s best days are behind it, recognize that and demand more for yourself.

Heres a short highlight of an interview I did with a phenomenal technologist, engineer and philosopher out of Jamaica named Chad Nehemiah.

However, in recent years with the rise of far right governments digital imperialism has rapidly revealed itself to western civ. I’m fascinated by the disillusionment of western society where previously a veneer of altruistic saviourism once hypnotized the masses.

Planning episode 1 of my upcoming debut into tech journalism as an independent journalist. Initially I’m focused on process/ consistency. I’m thinking one 45 min ep per week, 4 weeks then revisit format with feedback from folks here on Bluesky. 1st ep outline: Tech Bros & The World They’re taking

New blog post! How Streamplace Works: Syndication Up until now, most Streamplace users have been using one big server at stream.place. With Streamplace 0.8, you can actually replicate streams on your own nodes. Borrowing a term from broadcast TV, we call this syndication. Here's how it works:

Dear AT protocol people: I always strive to work on tech that I think is actually useful. Long ago I made the mistake of loving comp sci & then going deep on philosophy in grad school.. So I have a neurotic need to work on pivotal human tech. If anyone needs help, I’m here. The nihilists must lose.

hey NYC atproto folks! @schlage.town has organized the next meetup on Oct 29: smokesignal.events/did:plc:jjsc...

Axolotl Says Encrypt Yo Shit

The higher, the fewer.

JJ aka techboiafrica aka @doom.bsky.social wants to lean into ATProto and wants to connect with folks doing independent tech journalism. Suggested follows and feeds welcome!

Hi butterfly people, I’m highly considering video/audio streaming exclusively to Bluesky & YouTube. I’ll be discussing technology, politics and the future of civilizations. What are people’s favorite streaming tools for Bluesky and any good folks already streaming that I should follow?

How do we get a @bsky.app and Radio Garden collab going? I know there’s something there.

Non western innovators are focused on distribution and network effect. Impact leads to revenue generation.

One thing I’ve realized in conversations about cultural backgrounds and the competitive field of energy. Innovators from the west are hyper obsessed with newer forms of energy despite any impracticality. The pursuit of new means somehow more than impact.

I really think grass roots American tech needs to wake up & realize it’s ignoring the most obvious of pipelines. Private ➡️ military ➡️ allies killing brown ppl ➡️ USA domestic oppression of civilians. Multiple money trails you can easily examine. It’s time to build more hardware & community systems

Where all my local LLM engineers at? Bonus points if you’re located in a non-western country! My project Parabl.tech has secured a good amount of funding and we’re trying to meet like minded folks! We’re building resilient internet services in leapfrog regions!

Werk. Let’s all be there. Parabl.tech is coming.

Number one sign this app is going win.

Since I’m pretty sure I’m one of the only Tigrayans on bluesky in the first round of users, I’ll go ahead and share some photos of our beautiful Tigrayan Easter traditions from over the weekend. We’re one of the oldest cultures on the planet, and we’re here to stay. Hi bluesky 👋🏾

SO STOKED after just getting off a call with @doom.bsky.social Community mesh networks, "leapfrog" communities in Africa and global south. Just sharing some @atprotocol.dev opportunities in this space as well. Local PDS per mesh network router? Have to tinker with this a bit more.

whenever an old twitter friend adds me on here i feel like we’re reuniting after a natural disaster

Where’s that bluesky graph guy? Need him to let me know when black twitter’s transfer is hitting significant density.

She has a great point..

Nobody ever talks about the sick drum n bass throughout the Power Puff Girls show.

Ummm…

bluesky is a psyop by big DNS to sell more DNS records

🧵meme thread for all those who will need them in the coming “sky wars.” Gotta get the database flush with with quality sass before the Elon trolls get invites. Will add more memes here as I find time. *Feel free to add your own picks if you find this thread.

TIL 327 ppl are responsible for 1/3 of all shoplifting arrests in NY. In a city of 10 million - 327 ppl stand above the rest - accounting for 6000 total arrests. I’d pay their collective bail just to observe quietly at the “professionals” bar I assume they all frequent.

i’m actually fine with people taking this literally up to 100k users lol

The anthromorphization especially by rich white tech longtermists is purposefully misleading. Invent a new boogey man that must be engaged with only by their altruistic guidance. Read: it’s our “white man’s burden” to make sure we slow down “access to ai” not the development of it as a technology.
