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

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...

Last week we released Tap, a tool to help you sync the Atmosphere, and it got me thinking about how revolutionary backfillability really is.

took a cue from @hailey.at & got a new handle 😎

I knew a protocol would be cool bro I told you bro

wow tap & quickslice in the same day. there's never been a better time to sync the atmosphere

If you want to make a copy of the entire Bluesky network (or some subset of it, or some other app built on atproto), Tap is now the best way do do it. I hope this will enable more people do do, for example, interesting social network analysis research

'tap' is a big deal for backend devs! it gives you more of the benefits of AT, and makes the interface simpler at the same time. it makes backfill easy enough that you can re-index the network as part of your ops workflow. handles re-synchronization so you never miss a record event...

finally landed it! Tap is your all-in-one sync tool for the Atmosphere: webhooks, backfill, filtering, signaling collections, no cbor/msts/signatures/cursors. this thing's got it all! give it a go and let me know what you think & if you run into any issues docs.bsky.app/blog/introdu...

everybody should be able to get through their day safely without faustian privacy bargains and barrages of targeted ads and adversarial slop

to sincere post a bit: the ability to receive important timely updates like this one, from regional govt and institutions like this over an open protocol (vs closed/proprietary platforms) is a huge part of why I work on AT

log in to any(?) atproto oauth app with handle "rr.dev.retr0.id" for a surprise

looking for feedback on these proposed permission sets for app.bsky.*, chat.bsky.*, and tools.ozone.*

the future is now

I was there, it worked, and it was amazing. Nice job, Dan.

test

aww yiss check it out folks

go is good because it makes typescript fast so I can write more typescript

Get your typing fingers nimble, the #ATmosphereConf call for proposals is open!

Wrote my first leaflet! This is about the threat-model of PLC & the current work we're doing to address that including making the directory more auditable

actually from friendsgiving this last weekend but some inspo for the day

bro just one more refactor and i'll put this sync tool out, please bro believe me. it didn't have back pressure bro, a sync tool needs back pressure. but i promise this refactor fixes that. and it's the last one bro. i'll publish the package after this refactor bro i promise

Hey y'all, we just released a new SDK for working with Lexicons in TypeScript! 🥳 It focuses on improving DX and some of the pain points of the current tooling (see my previous post below). It's currently in beta and we'd love to get your feedback 🙇‍♂️ www.npmjs.com/package/@atp...

devs, seriously check this one out. @matthieu.bsky.team knocked it out of the park with this we'll be collecting feedback & doing some light iteration before the official release, so give it a go & let us know what you think!

Multiple sources are confirming this to be true

I just received word via Modelo that it is true. It is the weekend

yall aren't ready for how nice this new lex sdk turned out

For the last time, AT is simple Beavers host their posts for the joker nodes, which you get from starter packs. You don't have to have a joker but if you don't then you swear allegiance to the Atmosphere King, who may or may not be plotting against the Queen

I'll tell you one thing wrong with this app - no one is ever sharing pictures from olive garden

@tangled.org is such a great role model for projects in this moment - actually does the thing: useful, accessible - innovates/differentiates at *product* level: stacked review - hybrid at proto layer (git and AT), pulls in bsky profile data - built in europe by small amitious team #eurosky

IF YOU ARE RUNNING YOUR OWN PDS I am sorry but I am about to make a change to our docker compose.yaml to switch to a fork of the watchtower service that handles updates -- see github.com/bluesky-soci... unfortunately, upstream is now unmaintained and we can't push this out any more cleanly. thanks!

Happy "wow, the internet is pretty centralized and we should probably do something about it" day

Bikeshed time. What should we name this tool: A sync engine which is told which collections and dids to sync, then fetches from the network and produces an event stream for your app (cc @dholms.xyz)

We've got a mega write up of #ATProto_MTL Thanks to @cosmik.network and @graze.social for your direct financial support for travel & accomodation, and everyone else for coming and working through hard problems together.

when youre coding & switch from listening to sad indie music to metal

yup that's officially 10 billion atproto backlinks indexed by constellation across every lexicon that you can query at constellation.microcosm.blue

but one man sat at his computer and imagined a different world. he had a vision of a country run like a corporation, headed by a ceo king. it would, he believed, finally make us free. but what he didn't realize was that this vision was itself a product of the very system he thought he was escaping.

wow great interview. @bnewbold.net is a real one - very thoughtful & cares deeply about the problems we're trying to address this interview does a great job capturing the pressure/anxiety/tradeoffs of designing/developing the protocol, especially the early period

I want my Machines to have more Loving Grace and do less All Watched Over

Chatted with an OG Internet guy at the @atproto.boston meetup today. Asked him about the last time he saw so much community excitement and engagement for a protocol. He said http and html.

Bing bop boom boom boom bop bam

great thread of our IETF BoF session today huge thanks to everyone that participated in person & remote for more info on what a "BoF" is & what are plans at the IETF are check out: docs.bsky.app/blog/taking-...

best part of the IETF was getting to talk about our amazing ecosystem 💙

Montreal watch party for #ietf124 🍿 World Series but for protocols 🙃

look, the goal isn't federation for the sake of federation. the goal is to build up followers and clout, then self-immolate online in the most disorienting and entertaining way possible.

It’s weird that of all the scifi media predicting the future Tim and Eric’s Celery Man sketch got it the closest
