well now i know what a goatse is, i hate you all

She found this one cool trick to solve OAuth token problems - protocol architects hate her!

💯

i'm finally kinda getting the hang of when to use these. dumb refactors, threading config through a bunch of files, boilerplatey stuff, fixing some syntax thing or when you don't know how to use a package right etc but nothing beats the flow state of just banging out a bunch of code

lol my friend said to me that the ai coding tools are like if you got into being an accountant because you really liked doing math by hand and then the calculator came out and it's like well cool i guess i'm technically more productive but i don't get to do the thing i enjoyed anymore

Ooh a @graysky.app update! At last! #graysky #atproto #ATmosphere

com.atproto.server.describeServer should have a Server Name, MOTD, and Server Software Type & Version. It has none of these things and it's sad

what if _health had a field that specified the name of the software instead of just being the version number so i don't have to do something complicated to add a new PDS implementation to my graph

Because @labeler.hailey.at is fairly low stakes and is merely a community tool (not something we run in production), I've gone ahead and made the ruleset that drives it public. Hopefully serves as a good reference for writing Osprey rules.

this is also called a @shreyanjain.net pds simulator

Yeah… #swiftlang

Ok, first working version is out :]

Oh, damn… :\ I always play this song when I'm driving to my parents on Christmas Eve (10 min drive away, but still :)

I think this is far enough along to post about now pegasus, a pds implementation in ocaml, ~feature parity with the bluesky pds (minus app passwords because those are gross) repo includes various other atproto-relevant libraries in ocaml for interested sickos tangled.org/futur.blue/p...

Language #BlueskyStats for the last week: 📊 - 🇯🇵, 🇩🇪, 🇰🇷, 🇳🇱, 🇸🇪, 🇫🇮, 🇨🇿 increased % share - 🇩🇪 jumped above 🇵🇹 - posts in Arabic fell by… 80% 🤨 sus - 🇺🇦 dropped below top 20 🙁 (22.) - 🇰🇷, 🇳🇱, 🇨🇿 increased in absolute numbers of users

Theoretically, is it allowed to celebrate someone's assassination on Bluesky if it was a general of an aggressor country that's currently involved in a military invasion and war crimes on the territory of a close neighbor? Asking for a friend…

I think Tap is gonna be huge next year. The more I think about it, the more I see how it can let you do some things in much fewer steps than you'd need before

fastlane back alive, thanks @connortumbleson.com

Yeah… a lot of that here too, unfortunately…

It has been 24 hours & I'm still not receiving any email from Bluesky related to 2FA & change email address. My main account is practically locked-out, I'm only relying on the last active session. Their support replied once but they have a misconfigured DMARC so it failed. Not in spam folder.

I spent months building a code editor notepadexe.com, and the feature people are most excited about is... copying images to the clipboard ⌘⌥C your code. Paste a masterpiece. Your Keynote will never look the same.

What if I wrote a tutorial blog post about how to implement a complete @whtwnd.com reader site from scratch using Tap + skyfall/tapfall in Ruby… 🤔

The key to staying sane while reading bluesky is to remember that SOME of you are normal-but-smart people who happen to be hyper-verbal and compulsive writers, but OTHER people are simply Extremely Unwell. Don't mix up these groups in your head!

you can learn to have the poasters disease but you can’t learn to be pretty

switching your atproto app to an indie relay has had some downsides for most of this year, bc indies have been running different (newer) code than bsky.network, and there have been some bugs. but the biggest bugs seem resolved now, and bsky.network will run the same newer code soon!

Ok, streaming record events from Tap, acks, adding & removing repos is working 😏

Yeah i dont know how exactly we do it, but AI researchers consistently getting all waves of hate nonstop anytime something exits their orbit is not great

yeah basically you can't really use the site for anything remotely to do with ai unless you're an extremophile. there's a reason why most of the people who talk about ai the most are Combat Posters, anyone who does not thrive on conflict simply stops bothering to post at some point

Playing a bit with Tap - is it expected that if it's running in "acks" mode and my client isn't sending acks, it starts retransmitting the same events again in random order (after ~2 minutes and then again every 60s, completely unordered)?

the broad inability to leave a social media platform owned by a white supremacist and prolific manipulator of public perception really is one of the most discouraging data points right now

cat

That is exactly what they would say if time was broken but they didn't want people to panic

It's seriously amazing how fast the AT Protocol developer experience is, like from idea to early results is wowzers. Like, I've spent all of maybe two days working on @questionable.fyi, and I've already account profiles working with arbitrary data on the network. My next thing to do is OAuth... 😅

Huh, apparently you can write Ruby native modules in Go 🤔 they're adding some built-in support for this to rubygems now github.com/ruby-go-gem/... #ruby #rubylang

(whitney houston voice) AAAAND IIIIIIII-EEEEE-IIIIII—

how to handle the what now

iterating with the llm to get it to generate a readable, organized flowchart from this code and i wonder if this is how kindergarten teachers feel

is rusty slop worse or better than regular slop

How bad naming would it be if I named a version of Skyfall for connecting to Tap "Tapfall"?… 😛

Current status: I'm about to run my production PDS on @baileytownsend.dev's Gatekeeper, in a custom configuration (without Docker), after making some hacks to it, in Rust 🦀, which I don't know, using ChatGPT 🤖 - no way this will go wrong right? 😃

The idea with these labels is not to hide them, but rather to give you context on what sort of account you are communicating with. If you're in a thread where someone is being weird to you in the replies and they have been making a lot of toxic posts outside your thread, you probably want to ignore.

"With the fediverse integration for Threads now in maintenance mode, this must surely be a big blow for Zuckerberg’s belief in decentralised social networking" 💀

I deeply relate to this new EarthScope sticker. I deal with brown bears instead of polar bears, but the behavior is the same. Intelligent, curious creatures who are sometimes complete jerks around GNSS stations. ⚒️🧪

still funny

Ok, writing tests with the help of an agent like Codex might be a game changer actually 🤔 It seems to be much easier to review and update it to the point where I'm satisfied with the code, it gives me a very good starting point, and it's the one part of coding that I really don't like doing myself 🫠

John Gruber’s one-sentence take on Apple adding more ads to the App Store: "I have a bad feeling about this." Yep. Even ignoring that Apple shouldn’t be in the ads business, the problem with App Store search ads is they take up half the phone screen! It’s a lot of junk to scroll through.
