I love a #podcast, but, as usual, there is much wisdom in what Nick Cave says.

Eight people have requested access to the Henhouse beta this week! We'd love to have ten by the end of the day, so if you want member-owned, independent, privacy-first web hosting, sign up today at nc.limeleaf.coop/apps/forms/s... #webhosting #coops #degoogle

When I worked at Google, we all got Pixels. ChromeOS was useless then, so I installed Linux instead. Incredible. It was fast, perfect keyboard, and the 240-DPI 3:2 display was a revelation (more laptops should be 3:2!). I stumbled across one today for 1/12th the original price. 😂 #linux #recycle

Why is Arc the only browser that can sync tabs correctly??

This is a brilliant idea and long overdue. "The OpenCourier protocol opens up opportunities for delivery workers to own the platforms that manage their livelihoods." platform.coop/blog/toward-...

Henhouse is in beta!

Heard for the first time today: “Find us on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.” Incredible how quickly they crushed Apple and Spotify in #podcasts.

This is some wild shit.

Did you know that Maximum Fun is a worker-owned co-op? Hell yeah. In honor of #MayDay, throw them a few sheckles. #coops

Yay, Disperse!

Co-ops: they aren't only for crunchy grocery stores and dairy farmers! In this episode, we talk about how to create (or convert) your tech startup as a co-op that is owned by the people who do the work. Give it a listen!

#ATmosphere please make an app that creates easy-to-embed web forms that post responses to your PDS instead of a random startup's database. (Yes, I know PDS data is public, but permissioned data soon, yada yada...) I lack the coding skills to build this app, and I find coding with AI exhausting. 🙏

Some of the cruelest mfers on Earth.

🙏 to Stephen Giordano (interstitial.coop) and Ethan Winn (orban.coop) for joining us to record a podcast episode, "Why Your Tech Startup Should be a Worker Co-Op." Episode and link will drop here later this week. Previous episodes at limeleaf.coop/podcast #coops #startups #founders

I want to make a numbered chart, a la the Sgt. Pepper's Wikipedia entry, identifying which Ivy League university each of these Very Smart People holds a degree from, but I have no artistic talent. And I am lazy.

TIL that if you enable Settings > General > Storage > Store in #iCloud on a #Mac, it magically frees up many GBs of local disk space. 😊

Basic Auth is getting added to #Henhouse so you can password protect your static site. It will honor a `.htpasswd` file in the root of your site and eventually the dashboard UI will allow you to manage entries in it too. #StaticHosting #TechCoop

I feel seen.

Get ready for another round of "I love Bluesky but it's dying" folderol.

Called my local auto shop to schedule an inspection. Also asked them to look at the idle, seems to be slightly off. The guy said, “Uh, we don’t really get into motor stuff.” We used to be a great country.

The long term success of an open network isn't determined by exponential or linear growth. People and connections come in waves. Each one brings new folks that stay to build on atproto, with code or words. The next stage will be marked by hundreds of waves, as websites become a web of social graphs.

Happy that I am not online enough to know WTF an "anti-bedtime leftist" is.

Some words about my time at #atmosphereconf last weekend. limeleaf.coop/blog/atmosph...

Hell yeah.

I'm happy with my PDS host but wanted to learn more about self-hosting. Thanks to @mk.gg , I had @jluther.org up and running in 3 minutes with github.com/ascorbic/cir.... Super cool. #SelfHosting

Well, back to the nuthouse, I reckon. 🇺🇸

Until next time, Vancouver! Au revoir, Vancouver! Thank you to the #ATmosphereConf organizers and volunteers. What a show!

🚨 the ecosystem is delicate #atmosphereconf there's a LOT of enthusiasm + talent, but: - no magical investor monies - grant options are THIN - many first time founders - many don't want investment - few other options - scary macro env it's a collective challenge we can just pay for things?

Nice Guardian headline about #atmosphereconf

I haven't seen trousers that high-waisted since Curly Howard in “Nutty But Nice”

Same!

After the Atmospheric Publishing Discussion session yesterday at #atmosphereconf, I was even more excited about #atprotocol, which I didn't think was possible.

"It doesn’t feel like a product roadmap. It feels more like a city filling in. Someone opens a coffee shop, someone else opens a bookstore across the street, and suddenly there’s a neighborhood." ❤️ #AtmosphereConf

Haven't really traveled for work since 2022 (!). I see the vaguely ominous WiFi "captive portal" is still a thing.

After many miles flown, timezones crossed, hours laid over, and airport coffees consumed, I finally arrived in Vancouver late last night for #ATmosphereConf. Got some sleep and am ready to go!

Philadelphia. Very sunny here. 🤔

Through security and ready to board on my way to #ATmosphereConf in Vancouver! Nope! Flight is delayed 1+ hour. Good thing I have a 4+ hour layover in PHL. #OPTIMISM

I'm going to "AtmosphereConf Afterparty @ Junction"! #ATmosphereConf atmo.rsvp/p/atmosphere...

I'm going to "Creating the ATmosphere"! #atmosophereconf atmo.rsvp/p/atmosphere...

Getting excited for #ATmosphere2026 this week and wanted to try building a working app on #atprotocol. It's a simple Markdown editor that stores data in PDS records (more at diffdown.com). IANASWE, so I used LLMs to make it.

World's best boss! Looks like someone is going back to the weekend shift on Fox & Friends. Or maybe the Hague. 🤷

@eurosky.social I'm having trouble uploading videos to the PDS.
