where should I spin up a public PDS? Which country? Let me know!

CID profiles, the white whale of 2025, has landed! 🐳 More soon but if you've ever been confused about why the same data yields different CIDs, this should help. One million blessings to @lidel.org 🙏🏽 specs.ipfs.tech/ipips/ipip-0...

show me any clean money. I’ll wait.

but seriously if you’re my friend/colleague/good acquaintance and you would like to put some time in reviewing the (Rust/Svelte) code for my app I’m about to launch, I’d appreciate it greatly.

Create a future in which more people can fully participate, and while you get more mess, you get exponentially more magic. Never bet against community.

Understand that you have far less control over outcomes than you think, and learn that the best way to change the world is to inspire others. Believe in extravagant possibilities that overflow with joyous humanity and connection. Hope *is* a practice and a discipline, and it requires wonder.

I am so bored by most of the conversations people want to have about LLMs. I am tired of folks being obsessed with negative outcomes they can’t control. I choose to dream about radiant futures because imagination is at the heart of creation. You can’t build what you can’t imagine. Dream big.

I communicate with art, music, sound, tone, color, imagery, body language, ~~interpolation~~ 300 character text and uniform profiles is to experience me through low definition, aluminum cans connected by a string Fuck an app modality, I want new surface areas of expression

For the white tech leftists:

Things I yell at the top of my lungs for $5000, Alex. Also “accessing” has a myriad of meanings in this space too!

Welp, another *checks counts* 8000 people to block to save my brain from their absolute ridiculousness

This person (not Why, Blorg3) and basically all the people who replied to them are really just a shining example of why 10% of us do 90% of the work

these people are living examples of “motivated reasoning”

Man the quotes and reposts and replies on this post are so good for making my feed even chiller. I’m quite excited 🎉

this guy, David Gerard, is a joke. An absolute joke. It’s hilarious how much of a joke he is.

Lemme tell you something: things I build will ship when they ship. I don’t build things to make money, I build things to improve lives, and I can’t do that if my life sucks You wanna help? Lemme know 😘

It does make me better.

dario continues to be based

* typing out code is definitely one of several time sinks, if you take your job seriously and spend a lot of time exploring options * it is not the only time sink, but it is one * claude can help explore a design space in a less committal fashion * this makes the harder parts of eng more tractable

If you run a trusted PDS and moderation service you can take market share from an app developer with a prompt The inverse isn’t true. We could be Tangled or Leaflet tomorrow. Maybe Facebook Games the day after that. Go crazy and do Blacksky Streaming What’s stopping us. We already do the hard work

Yooo this is soooo good

this post is actually evergreen, doesn't matter the tech

Been thinking about this a bunch. Been surveying the landscape. I know the Blacksky team is light years ahead of anyone else here.

🔴 LIVE https://stream.place/chaosgreml.in It's time for the Atlassian Clinic!!! Join me for *impossibly* nerdy discussions about...Jira, and Confluence, and more! Can you handle it?

This somehow never applies to Blacksky and I wonder why.

When Blacksky wins, the ATmosphere wins. When Blacksky fails, we fail by ourselves. Heard.

A lot of y’all have been asking me to help you with understanding migration from Bluesky to Blacksky, this sums it up perfectly and explains it from A to Z: docs.blacksky.community/migrating-to... If you run into any trouble knock on my door or hit up support.

Happy Phagwah 🇬🇾

A long overdue reckoning for Henrietta Lacks — the Black woman whose cancer cells led to breakthroughs but were harvested without her consent. Novartis has settled a lawsuit by Lacks’ estate that alleged the pharmaceutical giant profited off her cells. https://bit.ly/3NgCeBs

Talking to @jakesimonds.com was so excellent, and I hope you enjoy!! You’ll understand a bit more about why I love @atlassian.bsky.social so much!

AT Friends is back! #6 is @chaosgreml.in! In our chat they articulated things about tech that have been continuing to resonate with me ever since, so very excited to share this one 😀 jakesimonds.leaflet.pub/3mg4rbn6ba22c

Ooh look at that anti-fat bigotry. Great punching down on all the other fat people, Joyce,

remember, you aren’t allowed to critique the people critiquing Janelle Bouie because he quoted the person who wrote “nazi sympathizer” on his face. If you do, you’re a misogynist, because that person was trans!

I think that Jamelle Bouie is a good person

This part

But also if you take a progressive Black man’s image and write Nazi over it, you’re being provocative and you cannot be surprised when it turns out people are provoked, including the target

Y’all if you think these posts are about a small fry account that made a questionable meme and not the commentariat that proceeded to use it to bash Bouie, you don’t follow me closely enough

Jamelle Bouie clearly and quite publicly works very hard to be informed and even-handed and anyone talking about him as if he’s not doing either of those things should shut the fuck up and definitely be widely ignored

I have no idea how so many of you make so many things I have like two hours of conscious focus after work and I need to eat and do chores are all of you teenagers or in your twenties or unmedicated?? 😭😭😭😭😭

WAIT I have to say one other thing. I recently have been thinking about how to hold all of the context of the decisions I make in my day to day life that I forget because of my ADHD and then obsess over when I get wrong bc of my autism, and I think deciduous might literally be the secret weapon

Deciduous is incredible software. I use it daily.

being someone who primarily relies on LLMs for building things bc nobody ever took the time to help me get over the particular morass of obstacles that kept me from learning software development is terrifying and I’m glad I have folks like @bobbby.online to review my code!!!

Alway fascinating how my transness and femmeness DISAPPEARS when I critique white trans women

A useful piece of context is that the government does not have access to better AI models than you (actually they are worse, because they usually don't get the latest models), though they may have different guardrails. You should view government AI capabilities through that lens.

ok but this reporting is bad this is a “self-report” law, which requires no actual ID verification of any kind, nor does it require any actual PII, instead letting someone select a category. On top of that, Newsome has listened and asked for modifications to the law to make it LESS problematic.

term limits are bad

can’t figure out if this is serious or not but woke 3.0 should just be woke 1.0 or better, woke-no-numbers-because-woke-was-enough-only-white-people-ruined-it

So many people not into running popping up in my For You feed lately, love to see it! 🛋️
