Ok, what the hell is going on there at Netcup recently?… Third "urgent forced migration" of a third different server in 4 days 🤨🤨

Lol :D

I don’t mean to alarm anyone but America is giving off some real “yikes” vibes

I'm very glad that I don't have to watch or follow the event tonight…

Speaker after speaker at this memorial is explicitly likening him to Jesus Christ. (Slain in early 30s, etc.) Don't know how this goes over with people raised in other faiths. Having been raised as a church-going Protestant Christian, I say: What the hell! This is not how Christians talk.

Possibly controversial, but somewhat experimentally I started muting some accounts (2 right now) from the ATProto feed not because of an off-topic match, but just because "they're fucking annoying"… (no, you're not going on the list even if you criticize a lot of things about Bluesky 😉)

This is where I'm posting from

i just remembered i still have the skeet.ing domain and no idea what to do with it

Wtf is a "disney adult"?…

… I'm learning fascinating things about U.S.A. every day on this website (thread) 🤔

Not sure if they realize that "U.S.-controlled algorithm" doesn't sound even a little bit more enticing than "China-controlled algorithm" right now

Easier to run appview is pretty up there on our todo list

😢 Big respect to Futur for doing the work and making that happen! Hopefully someone will pick it up?

BREAKING: The U.K., Canada and Australia officially recognize a Palestinian state, a significant shift away from alignment with the U.S.

It goes on! If you are in the US on a H-1B you can't safely leave now. Conference? Sister's wedding? Grandfather's funeral? Can't do, might not be allowed back in. Why would skilled talent subject themselves to this?

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Looks like the storage is somewhere on the order of ~40 MB per active user right now (active = one whose likes/reposts I'm downloading, as opposed to one whose some posts were liked) - although that should be slightly going down as the likes start to overlap more

"I think we shouldn't participate in Eurovision if Israel takes part," says Poland's culture minister, echoing officials in a number of other European countries who have called for a boycott.

In case you missed it: I'm building a tool for searching some text in all your likes (also reposts, quotes and bookmarks), integrated into Skythread. Right now it needs to be enabled manually for each user, so let me know if you want to try it out 🙂 (source here: tangled.sh/@mackuba.eu/... 🐺)

Doing this one tomorrow 😅 (Narrator: he did not that 10+)

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad. One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

Uhhh this sounds bad, what the fuck 😐

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

ATPROTO VERCEL IS HAAAAAAPENING

I like bluesky but not enough to stay here if the community guidelines mean all the artists leave and all that's left are the tech people. If all I wanted in my feed was tech, I would be on Mastodon.

I have decided to make the Skyliner repository public, rather than wait until refactoring is complete (I'd like to take my time with it and really make it great) Be warned it's a bit messy! github.com/rayanwaked/S... #client #ios #app #git

I think I will need to go through the ATProto feed and decide if I want to trim it down somehow… I could e.g. remove 'PDS' from the keywords, or maybe make a separate "ATProto Lite" with less keywords/content 🤔 not sure yet, but I feel like it's not gonna go back to what it was by itself

Note: *if* I'm understanding Paul's recent explanations correctly (plz someone correct me if not!), then *if/when* the mentioned changes in code are implemented, it *might* be enough to use a client like deer.social with @moderation.bsky.app turned off and not a whole AppView

I was scrolling the feed and somehow my brain parsed @gandersocial.bsky.social as "Gender Social"…

Refactoring status: I've moved this code like 3 times already this evening and I still don't know where to put it… 🫠

Thank you to the 14,000+ people who shared feedback on our community guidelines! We’re updating our rules for clarity, strengthening enforcement, and introducing product changes for healthier conversations. New guidelines kick in Oct 15. bsky.social/about/blog/0...

Down with the AppView, revolution! 🚩

I think on Twitter I was more strictly limited to technical/programming stuff, with occasional politics but not every day, and no things like cat/food/travel pics etc., and generally a bit more serious than here (not that I'm very not serious here, I'm aware :p)

Yeahh… that sounds like a good description…

Is there a concise overview of alternative parts of atproto and what they actually replace? What's the difference between Deer and Zeppelin? Etc

Very serious, super important, well written and objective post about all the Recent Events™ - great work @laurenshof.online, must read!

Wowww! 👀👀👀

they're calling it the best purchase of 2025

👀

Looks like there are some differing opinions on this one… 🙃

Out now, my conversation with Bluesky board member and internet celeb @mmasnick.bsky.social to talk about Bluesky, protocols, and the future of freedom on my @revolution.social podcast.
