OOH THAT SEARCH RESULT LOOKS LIKE EXACTLY THE CODE I'M LOOKING FOR oh no hang on that's the github result for my code that doesn't work

i do this! i have a RAG which i throw everything i write into. "what if you could keep every idea you ever had and you never had to organize it" is a perfectly good idea.

Couldn't decide whether to go to see a brutalist building or a cool water tower while I was in Osaka but I chose the brutalist building and it turned out to have a cool water tower inside it. Incredibly blessed city

Why is Chinese-language bsky about 40% gay porn, how did bsky end up with that particular niche. Also are there any other languages where due to some historical accident bsky is a completely different website

If you are an AI person recently here, follow Naomi's guide to getting a Bluesky feed that works for you. I'll also plug my "AI for Grownups" feed: bsky.app/profile/did:...

💫 excuse: mount jetstream as a userspace character device on linux. src: tangled.org/@oppi.li/exc... here's a breakdown of atproto collection usage in a 5s live tail of the network using only coreutils and jq:

love talking to my marxist friends about cool stuff that people are doing with technology and i have to stress that "mutual aid" doesn't mean running a soup kitchen with leftist aesthetics but instead autonomous disaster relief that can occasionally compete with what the state does

“52% of all autocratization episodes become U-Turns, which increases to 73% when focusing on the last 30 years. The vast majority of U-Turns (90%) lead to restored or even improved levels of democracy” V-Dem data

It's good to have mirrors but I don't believe they'd give us credible exit against a bad PLC directory operator. They'll just stop serving the mirrors before they start dicking us around. Stopping APIs that only nerds care about is Day 0 of enshittification. It always happens, and it happens first.

Love how wholesome r/ethereum is when someone wants to make an unwise decision to buy our bags

Incorporated in Switzerland but it's an association instead of a foundation, somebody's got a crypto lawyer

You should say what the alternatives are so people understand what you mean by this. Not that they should go back to X, but that they can migrate to PDS.witchcraft.systems, selfhosted.social, blacksky.app, @transrights.northsky.social They can use zeppelin.social, blacksky.community, deer.social

Transfigured into the Ethereum Conference Audience Dark Angel by being the only person in the room when the Hedera Accelerator guy comes on stage then getting up and leaving as soon as he mentions what project he's from

I am the Ethereum conference audience angel, I go to the secondary stage where Vitalik isn't talking so that there's somebody there to clap

I like this and don't want to be all enemy-of-the-good if it has a chance of getting traction. But the nice thing about DID:PLC is that you can create an ID without gas. I think we could keep that property and remove the trusted party, the only part that needs a blockchain is changing rotation keys

Answer to question, "how would you fix did:plc?"

Theory of efficient political markets: Any policy that both sounds good and works well has already been done, so actual politics is a competition between bad ideas and things that sound like bad ideas

We're the only ones into free speech so unfortunately Bluesky is the intellectual dark web now

Gonna name my next goat AppView

when a political movement that has almost entirely captured all the levers of state and cultural power is agitating for civil war it almost feels like they do not quite appreciate or know how to use what they have

"we had good intentions" ass shit, the US govt is not good and it does not do good things. it will take your intentions and use them to buy body armor for ICE agents.

Enjoying the For You feed? Give it a like ♡ to help more people discover it: bsky.app/profile/did:... The more people use it -> the more feedback we get -> the better we can make it for you.

Needed to get it out of my head. @mackuba.eu has a more detailed write-up mackuba.eu/2025/08/20/i... (and gave me the pipes description for relay) But I wanted a simplified visual of the layers and where I think things are at the moment. I have some other things to sort and add still.

mega luxury yachts are super cringe and boring, if you're a billionaire, why not buy this ship, and contribute something to our knowledge about the world www.scientificamerican.com/article/u-s-...

This really doesn't bode well given that content creation is a field where financial success is bottlenecked by the amount of ad/partnership revenue to go around so there's a financial incentive to thin out the field

Bot account operators trying to affinity-scam bsky users by putting "don't post crypto" in their bios

Time to RETVRN to static html websites. Nobody needs a CMS any more, just tell the LLM to make the page and upload it

Was thinking for a while we should make a PDS accessible with "sign in with ethereum" which I was thinking of mainly as a convenience thing but I guess it would also be useful as a privacy thing

*taps the sign*

It is with heavy heart (and, unfortunately, deep affection) that I must reshare a snippet from the 1980s masterpiece “Yes, Prime Minister”, in relation to Russia’s drone attack on a NATO ally.

The vet has a cat who loves surgical detritus

Update: Goat surgically unblocked

There is no god but pray for Geth, he has some kind of blockage

Yet another win for my strategy of being too lazy to update my dapp

If you like your political party, its coalition is too small

I think the main problem we face isn't the *technology*, but the *current ecosystem*, and knowledge related to it. If you asked your average Bluesky user, "How could you get around the Mississippi ban?", they'd have no idea, whereas your average Mastodon user would know right away what to do.

Washed the truck, it looks so handsome

Let’s all be entirely honest There will be a few hundred NG guys standing around looking awkward And there will be a few hundred ICE guys arresting everyone at Home Depot named Garcia That is extremely bad but not “actual military war”

Bookmarking this to quote it every time someone says "we don't want this shit here" or "we came here to get away from this"

Has anyone made a thing that will let you create a DID:PLC account in your browser and self-custody your rotation key?

oh, i just realized that I've never spelled this out directly the coolest part about reticulum.network is that it's transport-agnostic!! you and your friends can install github.com/markqvist/Si... right now and use it over the internet to see what reticulum can do!!! no special hardware needed!!!

If you're a custom feed creator, you can now enable "show more" and "show less" buttons in your feeds. This gives people using your feed a simple way to tell you what they love — and what they want less of.

Actual data klaxon www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

i don't enjoy the romanticizing of some golden past of the web that web never died you made all the decisions about where to publish and where to spend your time

Definitely a lost battle under this admin, but if we do eventually return to normalcy, would really appreciate a hard requirement that every announced use of force by the state be accompanied by stating the authority under which it occured

I think blueskyism is an actual thing. Main features: - progressive - neurotic (laudatory) - reactionary If you are mad about how much water AI is using, you are a Blueskyist

It’s from Darkness at Noon (spoken by the narrator, but obviously Koestler’s thoughts), and just look:

i think about the “do not split” principle from hong kong often

We have a decades of scholarship on how pro-democracy forces win in competitive authoritarian systems: they form a united opposition that brings together people with otherwise profound political disagreements.

Kind of day to just sit there on a car pretending to be a stick
