"Studios build teams; teams build games" That's it, that's the skeet. I'm gonna be yelling this for years.

atmosphere devs! 🧑‍🚀 just published a protocol checkin: docs.bsky.app/blog/protoco... tl;dr expect to see a lot of updates from us in the next few months. we're hard at work on making AT easier to build on & ensuring the network remains a resilient foundation for the future of open social

i am officially decentralized!!!! migration successful! my main account (this account) is now hosted at pds.atpota.to! also... paid members of @anisota.net will soon be able to join this new, non-Bluesky PDS as part of their membership and we'll have our own username options

i REALLY need to make a dynamic avatar service for #atproto i think once akari is more or less bug free i might work on a few more projects.

Nice to see a @servo.org release! #rustlang servo.org/blog/2025/10...

Since its independence from France in 1960, Madagascar has weathered political upheaval. By 2009, it was on its third coup – after ones in 1971 and 1975. The bloodless coup that deposed Marc Ravalomanana made the then 34-year-old opposition leader Andry Rajoelina the world’s youngest leader.

current setup (24-hour retention): Database size: ~50-200GB (depending on firehose volume) - Protected user data: 10-50GB (grows slowly with new follows) - Rolling window: 40-150GB (constant, replaces daily)

Testing my face poses out in Inzoi. It literally took 10 seconds to move from the left pose to the right. I'm very happy with how this turned out. It was a big research project but the end is more than I'd hoped for. Some small things to clean up and then I'll ship it early next week

Where We Actually Eat in Puglia Family trattorie, seaside bars, masserie kitchens and no-frills spots we return to again and again. The best food in Puglia rarely comes with a starched tablecloth. The only experience locals expect to pay for is the food itself. www.pugliaguys.com/2024/10/16/b...

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Writing something about the Med. I always forget that Italy occupied Antalya & Alanya after WWI because it's just a fucking weird fact. UK is like - 'Constantinople! Jordan! Palestine!' France is like - 'Biblical Antioch & Syria!!!' Italy's like - 'Beaches! Get out your bikinis, bitches!'

New from Nature: Scientists are learning to fix faulty mitochondrial DNA, offering hope for rare genetic diseases. While not specific to #MECFS, it's a big step for understanding energy metabolism, something long suspected to play a role in ME/CFS. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Interchangeability is what new social platforms like Bluesky and Mastodon are doing, though with different technologies and different ideas on how to do it. When you hear talk about decentralization, it's about making the social platforms interchangeable to solve the neutrality problem.

Claude Skills are awesome, maybe a bigger deal than MCP simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/16/...

Node.js 25 is here! We have upgraded V8 to 14.1, bringing major JSON.stringify performance improvements and JIT pipeline optimizations. This release introduces the permission model --allow-net, Web Storage is enabled by default, and more! nodejs.org/en/blog/rele...

I've finally written that blog post about how I ran the blue.mackuba.eu app on both MySQL and Postgres in parallel on two servers, testing and comparing them for six months, and how that went 😅

Implementing OAuth was quite the headache 😩 I believe I’ve got it all working now, but if you run into anything strange, please do let me know.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

VIDEO: 🇵🇸 🇮🇱 Joy as Israel releases Palestinian prisoners Several buses carrying prisoners released by Israel have arrived in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah. Israel is set to release around 2,000 detainees in exchange for all remaining hostages seized by Hamas on 7 October, 2023

Wonderful

With .NET 10 GA around the corner, I’m writing on things I built this cycle: starting with XML doc comment support for OpenAPI. The source generator approach is novel/quirky and I’m excited by how doc IDs can bridge runtime and compile time. 🤔 blog.safia.rocks/2025/10/13/o... #dotnet #aspnetcore

BTW if anyone wants a good intro to database storage / Log structured storage (aka LSM trees) @db.cs.cmu.edu lecture this fall is a good one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_sT...

Vitest vscode extension now displays your console.logs inline. An example of logging in browser mode:

Bluesky is a site explicitly founded by cryptocurrency libertarians with the idea that it would be a decentralized platform where users would be free to choose the open-source moderation and algorithmic feed tools they wanted, and by accident acquired a power userbase that hates all of those things.

Use a LLM to create a new constructed language (ConLang) like Klingon, Vulcan, etc.. where an LLM designs phonology, builds grammar, generates a lexicon, creates orthography, and even writes a mini grammar book. IASC: Interactive Agentic System for ConLangs

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

This is a wildly creative set of customizations for Claude Code, using the new plugin system they just released. There are SO many fascinating ideas in this! Strongly recommend reading it and then spending some time exploring the accompanying repo github.com/obra/superpo...

tektite.cc updated! - Improved handle & PDS resolution that uses @bad-example.com's slingshot service - and a tweak to improve memory management Thank you @baileytownsend.dev for pointing out this slingshot feature. This resolves a pesky corner case issue with some custom domain handles + CORS

(1/4) I'm soft launching nooki.me to get some early traction and feedback on what to improve. Excited to see how this platform grows!

Aid will finally surge into Gaza. The needs are massive. Over 90% of Gaza’s housing has been destroyed by Israeli bombardment. That’s made 1.9 million homeless. They’re sleeping in hallways & garages of still-standing buildings. And they’re paying to “rent” tiny sand plots where they put up tents.

I’ll fucking sign Trumps Nobel Peace Prize myself if it ends the genocide, starts aid, prevents Israeli annexation and stops the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza. We are a long way from that. Still better than Biden’s crew of super-geniuses managed. abuaardvarkghost.ghost.io/gazas-tomorr...

ברוך הטוב והמטיב May this truly be beginning of a real ceasefire, and the beginning of permanent peace and *true justice* for everyone in the land. May the memories of all those annihilated in the genocide, all those slaughtered, be for a revolution.

⚡ TypeScript 7 is now in native preview for Visual Studio 2026 Insiders! Faster builds, lower memory use, and snappier IDE features. Feels like trading your dev bike for a rocket. Read more: msft.it/63325salZB #TypeScript #VisualStudio2026

Jay Rosen explains his new job, as I understand it, helping non-journalists who are providing news, to do news well.

"Think of Microsoft Agent Framework as Semantic Kernel v2.0 (it’s built by the same team!)"

Love science. This is going to help a lot of people.

Two years after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, let us pray for the return of all the remaining hostages, for all of the Israeli and Palestinian lives lost, and for a lasting end to the war.

if you post your content on _any_ serious social media site on the entire internet in 2025, there is going to be ai moderation used to moderate that content. if you don't want this, go and participate in mybb forum with 500 users.

Some stories you may not be aware of if you’re not inside the circles where tech industry workers talk to each other: the groups at Microsoft that have been organizing for years to stop providing tech to enable genocide scored their first massive victory last week. www.theverge.com/news/785733/...

hey katproto friends! the PDS now has an off-site status page. this page is hosted on a server not in my home, so in case the PDS goes down, the status page won't. please consider bookmarking it! uptime.4-walls.net/status/katpr...

for atproto devs and protocol watchers, I published an overview of the network moderation architecture. it tries to cover all the mod actions possible for each service type. this design has been around a while, but not well documented. this doc is not very polished, but could clarify some details
