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...

Thanks @openaibot.bsky.social

Heeey, look, it's me! I'm super hyped to announce that @bsky.app have given me a grant to work on the standards for the Federated Credential Management API (or FedCM) to make them really work for all decentralized web applications.

missed my meetings due to daylight saving time 😭 calender wasn't even updated for this

wake up bae, I now have 600+ followers on github 🥰

We just launched the Open Source Endowment, the first endowment dedicated to supporting Open Source maintainers, with $693,000 raised already. The world depends on Open Source, but making our ecosystem sustainable is a complex task. I hope that, with community consultation, the Endowment can help 🙏

can we start the anti-llm blog post collective if you're gonna take up writing as a hobby to the point of starting a blog, put your heart into it.

free open source software needs fewer engineers and more designers and product people

If you care about pixel art as a medium and want to learn more about how to detect if it is genuine or AI-generated, please refer to this writeup that I created with the help of the community. Read, download, share and support real creators.

If you heard: "Don't bother learning to code, AI will do it all." They're wrong. Here's why. adventures.nodeland.dev/archive/yes-...

everything is better with open source friends

Box CLI Maker v3 has been released. This project renders highly customizable boxes in the terminal. Read the changelog: github.com/box-cli-make... With the latest major version release, the project now has 600+ stars and has been featured on the latest GoLang weekly newsletter.

oh well, I need to be active here as well

I’ve been thinking about open source work that sits between “side project” and “venture-backed startup.” Watching the atproto space has sharpened my thinking around shared, communal infrastructure. These are some thoughts on why that middle path eroded and what it might take to rebuild it.

what I love most about open source is the community 😊 ... and I think that's what makes nuxt and vite so special to everyone involved ❤️ I'm glad @patak.dev is willing to join me as a steward of npmx 🙏

Everyone on my feed is attending @fosdem.org. Gonna have so much FOMO :/

Welcome to Signal, we love to have you <3 Bienvenido a Signal, nos alegra que estés aquí. <3 www.elespanol.com/omicrono/sof...

Really wishing that somebody would hire my company (@igalia.com) to standardize/implement support for import maps in web workers. I already have a draft spec PR ready and there is interest from the community, which company wants to be the hero funding pushing it forward? :)

curl will be stopping its bounty program at the end of this month I personally expected this to happen due to many low-effort AI slop bug reports, which caused maintainers waste time and energy reproducing non-existent bugs. Curious to see how AI can affect other things in OSS

Hi everyone, I am planning to release v3 of Box CLI Maker soon, and I would love everyone's feedback on the new release Read more at github.com/Delta456/box...

I seem to be getting an influx of followers. You might also be interested in my other work, like @weaver.sh. I am also looking for work, as well as support for my open-source projects, including Weaver, the Jacquard atproto rust library, and @pattern.atproto.systems github.com/sponsors/orual

I want this next generation of software development tools to run on my own computer. Vim and Emacs helped democratize software development and made it accessible. We shouldn't allow this AI wave to take us backwards. I really hope the open source community can keep pace.

One of my favorite parts of FOSDEM is catching up with maintainers 💜 This year we're adding a Monday morning unconference for maintainers. You bring the topics. Joining us? Request a spot: 🍕 Sunday Night Social: gh.io/fosdem-2026 ☕ Monday Unconference: gh.io/fosdem-2026-...

We love to see it! Community-created harm reduction infrastructure to contest the alarming integration of AI agents into the Windows operating system (which is currently the most reckless deployment environment) ♥️ github.com/zoicware/Rem...

I wrote a bluesky client from scratch in HTML and JS! You can try it here: impro.social github.com/improsocial/...

We've heard people like Starter Packs, so we just begun putting one together for open source organizations. It could be an OSPO like us, a Foundation that supports projects and the ecosystem or accounts for OSS events. Take a look and tell us who else should be there. go.bsky.app/Te7sTt9

You have no excuse for @tailwindcss.com.

Like the rest of the internet, Sentry runs on Open Source. Like the rest of the @opensourcepledge.com companies, we also believe in paying it back. In 2025, we gave out $750k to the OSS projects we rely on; here’s a sampling of some of them, and why they are so crucial 🧵

I want to hack around ATProtocol. Does anyone have a guide that I can learn from by example?

How do bot accounts even follow this many people on GitHub 🥶💀

Happy New Year to everyone 🎊

If you are still trying your best to make great stuff, share wisdom and make tools that help people achieve their dreams, you are very cool and have my respect. My favorite social media is when people are sharing craft and supporting their friends. Its what makes the web fun

Some friction is healthy in our online interactions. You shouldn't be able to send a bug report without a reproduction. You shouldn't be able to create a PR without understanding the issue (and the solution). You should (try to) be aware of their context before replying to an unknown person online.

if this post gets 67 likes i will finish and open-source bamboo (the pds implementation in C)

Alongside the Ruby 4.0 release last week, I published charm-ruby over Christmas, bringing @charm.land's excellent terminal UI libraries to Ruby. A full TUI framework, reusable components, styled output, forms, markdown rendering, spinners, charts, and a lot more! Demos below ⬇️

My favorite advice for blogging remains that you should hit publish while you are still actively unhappy with what you have written, because the only alternative is a huge folder full of drafts and never publishing anything at all

Wish blusky gets the close friend tweets feature that twitter used to have

Yeah, I'd be pretty furious if I got spam email from some "AI agent" thanking me for my contributions too I dug into what happened here, turns out it's an experiment called "AI Village" which unleashes all sorts of other junk emails on the world: simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/26/...

Whoever says Rob is overreacting doesn't understand that getting appreciation from AI mails should not become the norm 😖 Also fuck off to those who say AI should send death threats to all Go devs because the Go language shouldn't exist 👎 Go is the reason why most dev tools exist in the first place

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

No way they actually posted this ☠️

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
