I recognize that this will not be a popular opinion, but I think it's true. And I hope people will read the whole thing before they start yelling at me based on the headline.

Huge result here - the idea that social platforms can be defective products that cause harm is going to send shockwaves through an industry that has claimed essentially blanket protection from liability by saying everything is speech

I did not expect to be back in Canada less than a year later, but I'm very happy about it. #atmosphereconf

Found the perfect place for lunch. It's a sign. #atmosphereconf

We are 10 tickets away from being sold out #AtmosphereConf

special alert !! special alert !! ⚠️ 🌐 custom domains 📈 blog analytics 💾 more media storage for everyone ! 📝 more posts too ! it’s finally happening 😱 we’ve been working on these new features for a while and really hope you’ll like them :)

This is so beautiful and thoughtfully constructed. Plus I have a new reading recommendation to put on my list.

Getting a pre #atmosphereconf haircut today and I'm gonna try explaining the Atmosphere to my stylist. Leaning towards "what if Facebook put all your photos and posts in your iCloud". Open to other suggestions!

Excited to announce our last minute session "Verifying People Who Actually Showed Up" All you have to do is show up and BOOM blue checky. Acceptable forms of ID include a Ralph's discount card, your highschool yearbook, a note from your best friend.

bummed i can't make it to @atmosphereconf.org later this week so i've shipped my telepresence robot to @bmann.ca who has graciously accepted the responsibility of assembling it for the conference

I did the brave thing! I submitted my application for Founders and Funders Workshop! #atmosphereconf #wecanjustbuildthings

Suspect Waits Patiently While Cop Sounds Out Miranda Rights

It was probably the shortest meeting ever but hosting #atmosphereconf in Canada was a _really_ good idea.

My two main interests are colliding (temporally) this weekend. It's #atproto #atmosphereconf and #MLB opening day for #KCRoyals. I've helpfully placed hashtags here so you all can selectively mute what you don't want to hear about! I am gonna be posting through it all.

#atproto is so good it is pulling a dear friend out of a major funk just by second hand effects. I'm talking to him about it and that's enough. He doesn't even have an #atproto account yet!

I'm on @sifa.id!

I created an installable Community App of the #Bluesky reference PDS for #Cloudron. This is how I am self-hosting my #atproto account. #Cloudron makes a lot of VPS administration super easy. It's not free, but not expensive. #wecanjustbuildthings #atmosphereconf

My take on the say #atproto vs don't-say-atproto debate is that I hope we move on to something else by the @atmosphereconf.org. We need to be talking about whether credible exit is still a core value of the #atmosphere.

#wecanjustbuildthings #atproto On my phone and ready to start scanning!

Great feature!

I'm biased, but I really like this feature

The startup pundits all proselytized go-to-market technique while ignoring ownership. Conventionally-owned companies have a survival probability of 10% after 40 years; foundation-owned companies have a 60% survival probability over the same period. A measure of success worthy of our aspirations.

People who organize things have the most friends.

Someone should please make an #atmosphere app store. #wecanjustdothings #atproro

Stood in the sunshine yesterday for three hours to see the #freedomplane documents. It was worth it. The Treaty of Paris and the Senate markup of the Bill of Rights were the most impactful for me. #kansascity you still have time to go! Wear sunscreen!

Walmart is rolling out digital price tags at all of its stores. At the same time, the corporate giant just secured a patent for "dynamically and automatically updating item prices.” Plus another patent for using machine learning to predict demand and recommend prices.

LinkedIn atproto-based alternative sifa.id has a really well made linkedin importer: I had a matching profile in minutes sifa.id/p/pixeline.be

Some very exciting news - it looks like the working group for AT Protocol at the IETF has been approved! (though not formalized in the datatracker just yet) This is a big milestone in the standards process. But is also just the start of the actual process - years of meetings & work ahead!

Salvy has captained his team to a championship, which I hope to see in October as well! #Royals #WorldBaseballClassic

You hate to drop game 1, but I was proud of the way our guys fought and I still like our chances. - Mark DeRosa postgame

Maikel Garcia with his World Baseball Classic MVP Award

The future of the web is wilder and weirder than ever.

I wasn't rooting against America. I was rooting for joy. #WBC

I love the single game format of the #WBC. You get such great drama that a game 1 - 3 can never provide. I hope they never change it!

wait, fuck, this is gorillaz

Vinnie Pasquantino pregame about Royals teammate Maikel Garcia Baseball is the best!!

I am this close (pinches fingers in Italian way) to wanting to extend Vinnie with a lifetime contract. Good soul.

What a fun and outstanding run by Team Italy Love what Vinnie Pasquantino said pregame about representing Italy “for the kids in Italy, just know that we’re doing this for you” 🥺

This guy is gonna be a star for us very soon!

Awesome! I was already speaking about Cirrus at #atmosphereconf. So glad we're sponsoring too. Cloudflare is so good for building atproto tools, and I'd say that even if I didn't work there. Durable Objects with websocket hibernation are *amazing*

Leaflet Pro is open to all! Thank you to our early testers :) Next 24 hrs only — $10/m or $100/y with code 'LEAFPROLAUNCH' 🍃🎉💯 Sign up from user menu or pub 'analytics' tab. Big step toward making Leaflet sustainable & lots planned, incl email & memberships. Excited to hear what you think!

Thank you to @cloudflare.social for supporting #AtmosphereConf! Cloudflare is our afterparty sponsor for the event at Junction on Saturday night.

This years #Royals team is going wire to wire! I can just feel it. We are gonna be a _problem_ for the AL.

Clubhouse coffee pot. Everything old is new again.

We just passed **300** in person attendees for #AtmosphereConf! About half are showing up for Thurs/Friday pre-conf workshops and events. @atproto.science has 99 people people registered. Not too late to come join! -> atmospherconf.org

We're testing a *Pro* plan for publishers ✨🌱 One big feature to start — analytics (views, referrers, subscribers) — and adding more soon. Also just a great way to support Leaflet! $12/m or $120/y We'd like to test the signup flow with a few early adopters. If you're interested please reach out!

Hi! SkyFeed is struggling and I need to find a solution. If you don't know SkyFeed, it's a service I built 2 years ago, enabling anyone to build and publish feeds using a visual block-based editor. SkyFeed is still hosting the most feeds on Bluesky, but that comes at a cost [1/X]
