@baileytownsend.dev being our PDS Daddy is now canon, you heard it from @jimray.bsky.team

I'm building on atproto because I think that a single social network has essentially no shot of dethroning the current tech monopolies. But an open ecosystem of interoperating apps is so infinitely more interesting than legacy social that it seems almost inevitable it will win

this week's atmosphere and fediverse news, with now three approaches to private data, and a whole bunch of atproto project updates and news connectedplaces.online/reports/fr15...

I’ve been a huge fan of this name since Sebastian first told me

I'm building on ATProto because I never again want to be cut off from the collective mind just because I loose my institutional login credentials. Contracts end, relationships break.

Hi friends I just got laid off along with 40% of Block. No idea what comes next, but if you have need for a Principal Frontend Engineer hit me up!

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Why did it take this long to click. We’re Nubian, been there thousands of years only for a Dam to flood us out of our homes.

I’m building on ATProto because I didn’t feel like waiting for a bunch of white men to help us so I’m doing it myself.

We're moving at the speed of trust!

Asking for help is hard.

Hire me 🙏

Can someone coming to #AtmosphereConf from Australia get me a Spiderbait LP, I've been asking my Aussie friends for years and they keep forgetting.

Blacksky relay inspired me to grab nubia.africa, do I change my handle to it or nah.

Spoiler: I made the bucket a service and called realms boundaries

being @patak.cat comes with some responsibilities. do i have some catalan friends that could help me translate some of my blog posts from patak.dev? i can recognize you as the translator, and i could forward a bit of my github sponsoring to you as a token of appreciation

@ngerakines.me got me studying up on hashing algorithms

Asking for a friend

Anyone got a better way to test/debug oauth flows that’s isn’t just a playwright test.

code and tests aren't the moat. they never were. no need for agents to copy a project. forking was always an option. the moat of an oss project is its community, its governance, and its ecosystem connections. agents will never be able to replicate that. don't hide. let's build in the open, together

New blogpost about atproto It's not federation, it's not a p2p mesh. It's a secret third thing: practical. www.pfrazee.com/blog/practic...

Testing data boundaries in the most ridiculous way possible

I guess we know who won that fight with DoD

This signals just how fucked platform engineering is if we stick with the concept of paved path where not using it introduces friction to bring you back. But now you can just vibe away the friction.

@atproto.berlin was absolutely worth the four hour train, keep forgetting how many great people are in Germany already. Five minute chat with @thisismissem.social saved me a couple days of experimentation to figure out an avenue for data portability on stratos

pdsmoover.com hit over 1k accounts backed up today 🥳. To celebrate, here are some other fun facts - eurosky has the most accounts signed up at 239 (all in 23 days!), blacksky at 99, selfhosted at 57, and npmx.social at 28 - enoki.us-east.host.bsky.network has the most of the bsky mushrooms at 7

Major milestone reached on stratos today, would almost call this the easy part in the broader scope of things

I don’t want to say T&S makes things complicated, it just requires we think very carefully about the intent and potential of anything we create

Be there or be square

@alex.bsky.team will you be building any oauth dpop examples?

Just when I think I’m getting a grasp of this protocol stuff Nick shares some light reading material.

I know it’s not Bandcamp Friday but Sinkane is pretty dope. Been trying to get him on @subvert.fm

Would really appreciate if the internet on the train could be reliable for longer than 2 minutes so I can run all my oauth playwright tests.

Love to see the community stepping up when corporations fail to do the bare minimum of stewardship. www.linkedin.com/posts/open-c...

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Of everything I’ve skeeted today, the one about discovering a library is getting the most action.

You often hear "software development is changing, and we must adapt" because of Claude Code. But for my entire career, code has been the *easiest* part of making shit people care about, and we still haven't adapted. The easier coding becomes, the less often we ask "do users actually NEED this?"

Love kiros spec design approach but it's rubbish at understanding code nuance which is common for all the assistants but I can at least tweak copilot to focus on the right things.

Oh my goodness why didn't I know about atcute sooner. This whole time I've been using atproto/repo directly and the dependency on an older version of multiformats was giving me hell.

And a whole minor version bump for tagging, search results are now a whole lot better. Just going off the current repo structures, will go a bit deeper with more nuanced tagging that should improve cross tool usage when I have more time.

Pushed a tiny release just now for atproto-mcp, I skipped adding tagging for the sake of "reasons" so some of the tools weren't returning results. This has now been fixed and I'll dig into tagging so results become more reliable.

Ramadan has started, and the World Central Kitchen has a program to distribute food aid to people in Gaza. Each kit for Ramadan contains nearly 30 pounds of halal—enough for up to 70 meals. If you have spare funds, please consider a donation of $60 to assist the people still struggling in Gaza.
