Pleased to announce that an Authenticated Transfer Protocol (ATP) working group has been created at the IETF! Grateful to everybody who participated in the BoF and chartering process. Details on next steps and how to get involved inside. atproto.com/blog/kicking...

In the Mario Galaxy movie someone says, "I'm hooked on the brothers." As a person of a certain age, that made me chuckle out loud in the theater.

Companies are gambling at this point. If you can, please speak up inside your company so they up their open source strategy and commit (more) funds to make our shared commons sustainable. We're going to lose it all. Funding dynamics in OSS need to change. Fast.

Google's been supporting open source for over 20 years, and today we’re taking another huge step. Gemma 4 is officially Apache 2.0 licensed! 🦋 Giving builders the autonomy to innovate without limits. What's the coolest open model project you've seen lately? goo.gle/gemma-4-apac...

So, @felicia.day is in Seattle for her book tour today. Make sure to take care of her Seattle.

I picked up ducharme.at as a place for me to do some ATproto work. Either that, or a site dedicated to charring meat.

This is a great trailer. Looking forward to this even more now. Also, be careful with that dog. No fridging the dog.

It's Trans Day of Visibility and I wrote about how visibility without protection is a trap, and it often seems like the loudest calls for us to be visible are coming from those who have done nothing to protect us. www.coyotemedia.org/im-supposed-...

If you just met me at #ATmosphereConf and are a new follower, make sure you are following (and engaging with) @opensource.google as that's, in many ways, my professional account and allows more people at Google to see the excitement of the ATmosphere.

I am back in the office, but mind brain still wants to be at #ATmosphereConf.

AtmosphereConf 2026 is a wrap! We hope all the remote attendees had a great Streamplace experience. When VODs, you ask? They're actually up right now! They're `place.stream.video` records in this repo. One catch: no frontend yet. That's where you come in. Welcome to the Streamplace VOD JAM.

Hey #ATmosphereConf, who wants to see Doom completely run on AT Protocol?

As #ATmosphereConf draws to a close, this is a good time for me to let folks know that I'm looking for paid work! I have a strong background in project management in tech, and apparently am decent at event planning too now! If you need help with a project, let me know! (reshares appreciated) 💚💜

When in Vancouver, I recommend Frankie's Jazz Club. Tonight we had a Ray Brown tribute.

Day 4, the final, of #AtmosphereConf had several good talks and lots of good talking to others.

Day 3 of #ATmosphereConf is half way done. Officially this is day one. I've been having some great conversations with people today. Also, I'm taking lots of notes.

Cool NFC keychain from the conference and great conversation.

A nice dinner with a great view of Vancouver and the surrounding area.

#ATmosphereConf day 2 is all about #ATScience for me today. Lots of great talks so far about community, commons, and discourse graphs (among other things). As a non-academic, some stuff is going over my head.

Regarding the technical credibility of ABC News reporting:

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

“You have to stop assuming he's trying to do a good iob. The current administration is not interested in governing. Thev are only worried about extracting as much wealth as possible and insulating themselves from the consequences." 💯🎯

Day one of #ATmosphereConf has been great. I'm loving the community here.

Three million pages of Epstein files were released. Around the world: arrests, investigations, resignations. In the U.S.? Officials say there’s “nothing there” and the person who appears in the files the most goes unscrutinized. @gloriouslygloria.bsky.social examines the silence.

We (the U.S. but the whole planet really) will have no peace until everyone connected to this admin is held accountable.

Going to #AtmosphereConf in a few weeks and feeling like I have a lot to learn from the @atprotocol.dev community. Any projects or resources that I should look at before I show up?

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Washington State looks set to tax millionaires, as the governor says he’ll sign legislation creating a new state income tax of 9.9% on people earning of over $1 million a year. Washington currently doesn’t have a personal income tax. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

The war in Iran and other military actions taken by the US are absolutely worth being mad about. At the same time, we MUST prosecute individuals from the Epstein files. Those women and children, heck society as a whole, deserve justice.

They are murdering civilians on the high seas. They are murdering civilians in 🇮🇷. They are murdering civilians in concentration camps. They are murdering civilians on the streets of 🇺🇸 cities. These are not problems that can be fixed with new laws or more court orders. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Let's prosecute the people in the Epstein files and get them out of power. Then, those left standing, can end these wars and clean up the mess.

The atproto community is still small, but growing!, so it's great to have companies support as without much of a track record for #AtmosphereConf We will remember early supporters 😀 Thanks @fabricatedtechnobabble.com & @opensource.google - looking forward to meeting you in person in Vancouver!

Thank you to Google @opensource.google for joining #AtmosphereConf as a major sponsor! We appreciate your support!

Agentic AI is moving into real-world deployment. The infrastructure behind it must evolve just as quickly. The PyTorch Foundation’s nine new members signal strong momentum around building the open AI stack in a vendor-neutral environment. 🔗 Read the full announcement: pytorch.org/blog/pytorch...

I'm excited for #ATmosphereconf at the end of the month.

So, @thisisnotapril.bsky.social didn't want me to mention her in the official post but the note about her being on the LF board is important too.

So happy the curling "scandal" that has been dubbed Boopgate, has given people a reason to learn about curling. boopgate.com

We built Jikipedia, a new wiki that compiles Jmail data into exhaustive reports on key figures in the Epstein scandal. It lists all recorded visits to Epstein's estates, each person's possible knowledge of Epstein's crimes and laws that they may have violated.

Please take a minute to send a letter in support of our laid-off Ubisoft Halifax members.
