so true, Web 3.0 is Groundhog Day for the Web

"Nature runs on credit at the quantum scale"

I know a lot of people on this app hate crypto, but it’s worth noting that the development of this ZK technology was accelerated and advanced as a direct byproduct of people trying to build privacy in blockchains.

If I were in charge of AT Protocol my top priority for 2026 would be to simplify the experience of signing in with your AT Protocol credentials on a newly installed mobile app. Ditch OAuth & the convoluted maze of handles, usernames and DIDs... Just have the first app approve adding other apps

@flashes.blue I tried to use your mobile app, but was unable to login… Any tips?

The same dude that deplatformed a sitting US president built a chat app that communicates over a mesh network of phones just in time for the overthrow of a regime that turned off the Internet to stop them. I'm not sure what to do with my tin foil hat... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitchat

Hey @mayor.nyc.gov, can you do me a solid?

Passkey based auth for your PDS! Now imagine your PDS has a twin sibling, a private PDS (P-PDS), that runs in a Trusted Execution Environment. Your browser/mobile app makes a secure E2EE session with this P-PSD to store all of your private data. Voila, personal private data store in AT Protocol!

I am so glad Moxie is building again. We all benefit. The architecture described here is how to use cloud for compute in a privacy-preserving way.* In this case, for a personal AI agent. *Yes, I'm aware TEEs have been broke in the past... confer.to/blog/2026/01...

This app needs a "worse take ever" button.

Those skeptical about using AI because it is not private can now try it out. A look under the covers on how to use passkey for E2EE encryption. confer.to/blog/2025/12...

I wonder if these Fireboxen still run code I wrote.💀 If so, sawry WatchGuard... "One month later, the Internet watchdog Shadowserver found over 75,000 Firebox firewalls vulnerable to CVE-2025-9242 attacks, most of them in North America and Europe."

@ handle, ✅ Internet Handle, 🚫 The fact that AT needs a PDS and OAuth to login to an app makes the AT Handle the opposite of "an identity solution that actually works". Soon everyone will have a private key in their pocket, forcing these users to ask a web host for identity is Flintstone-era tech.

if you are in the business of publishing content, AT Protocol is a no-brainer. But also, 15 years too late...😊

PDSls is my most used tool building in ATproto! 🤩

I've been using @tangled.org recently to submit issues for some projects I'm using. I don't have my email associated with my account which means I don't get any of these notifications. If there was a way to deliver these app notifications to the ATProto app you choose (eg. 🦋), would you use it?

Words matter. Using words like privacy when you can't protect the data, or end-to-end encrypted when data is sitting on servers unencrypted will ultimately cause people harm. Also, a camera in your toilet? Seriously? 🙄

Imagine a world where your mobile carrier doesn't store any information about you. A world where the only thing they know is whether or not you paid to access the network. This is the future we are building at @3num.co

it's funny because it's true

Love to see work on privacy preserving payments! 💙

Whoa! Anthropic acquiring Bun was not on my 2025 list. www.anthropic.com/news/anthrop...

Great read about the origins of the Internet's biggest surveillance feedback loop—and a proposed way to fix it. "This equation in many cases has led to End Users using federated login options, trading off concerns such as the fear of being tracked by a particular IDP, for the convenience it offers"

I don’t often test, but when I do, I do it in production! 🙈

I wish I had the confidence of Claude. After the sixth attempt to fix a gnarly bug, it is still 100% convinced it fixed it this time.

I'm really enjoying coding with my new AI buddy. Too bad it's not a beer drinker, would love to grab a cold one after work. 🍺
