✨ My new library gpuix-svelte is out! Build native desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux using Svelte and gpui, a Rust-powered graphics engine. Excited to see what you build! #svelte #native gpuix-svelte.stanislav.garden

A month ago, I found myself in the unexpected position of founding an AI startup. Today, the Inference Co-op adopted its first real governance charter. We can't make AI good, but we can own our choices, and make them together. Want to join? https://inference.coop

Are you or your company working on anything related to OAuth/OIDC or building anything that needs trust & safety (moderation)? If so you can currently hire me: emelia@brandedcode.com I'm a freelancer on US eastern time. #oauth #oidc #hireme

Next up on our new weekly Spaces blog series, we've got an intro to Atmospheric Groups! Featuring Moleman, @grain.social, and @pds.ls: atproto.com/blog/atmosph...

Me and @erlend.sh are trying to figure out what makes sense for a universal "thread" lexicon, to make things like @atmobb.app, @colibri.social, and @roomy.space topics / threads all index-able, similar to @standard.site. Maybe we could, in fact, use standard.site? I'm looking for feedback!

Likely the most important thing I've ever written — if you're an academic and the AI mania unsettles you, here's my best shot at presenting some intellectual tools that might help you articulate why. arxiv.org/abs/2610.27251

💯 AI disruption is also an opportunity to reimagine research! If we don't, big AI will do it for us and we won't like it (as OpenAI is demonstrating) It's great to see these experiments and we @cosmik.network really appreciate working on them with curious and creative researchers like Max!

the last 48 hours was time consuming because a lot of stuff i/wisp rely on were downstream of many of the CVEs released recently, as well as bugs wisp itself had. if wisp is useful to you, donations are much appreciated and keep things smooth: ko-fi.com/waveringana github.com/sponsors/Wav...

I'm going to be hosting a session at TPAC next week in Dublin to have an open discussions on how browsers could help with atproto, activitypub, lws, indieweb, more specifically with identity! www.w3.org/events/meeti... I'd love to see you all represented there, remotely or in person!

The recording of my talk 'Open protocols unite: Common goals in advocating?' at #matrixconf is already available ✨️ Thanks to @matrix.org to let me speak about our Alliance of Open Networks, @berlinfediday.berlin.social.ap.brid.gy and our upcoming #plus1 campaign 🙏 media.ccc.de/v/matrix-con...

OUT NOW: Check out our new @climatemajority.bsky.social report on Climate Popularism, which explores how to break the grip of right-wing populism through a new politics of crisis resilience. www.climatemajorityproject.com

Some updates to atmosphereaccount.com:

blog.wisp.place/posts/integr... its been a while since ive ranted about things and i wanted to express thoughts on attie while announce two things that have been silently up for a while (why do i keep doing silent releases?) the small amounts of snark are from a place of love

Your identity can move between apps. Your business should be able to, too. We’re building Atmosphere Money: social payments for the Atmosphere. Here’s the model, and what comes next:

Atproto developers, is this anything?

alr ive sent this in a few smaller/private places now and gotten relatively good first impressions so im throwing it into the wild cause i cant wait any longer! ive been thinking about DID methods for far too long and im starting to like my idea here. tell me what you think atproto nerds :3

We're delighted to announce that the Eurosky Identity Platform has been officially verified by the Digital Public Goods Alliance as a digital public good (DPG). eurosky.tech/news/eurosky...

Okay frick it, I'm announcing the project I've been working on. It's called Reams, a markdown editor that syncs over atproto spaces. It works offline, doesn't require a login, and has a bunch of features packed in. Try it at reams.ink, install the PWA for the best experience!

Wikipedia helped make LLMs possible. Now, it is grappling with how to use them. Unlike its peers, Korean Wikipedia embraced LLMs through WikiVault: only 0.1% of editors use it, but it accounts for ~30% of new bytes! New preprint led by @inhwa.bsky.social (who's at @acm-cscw.bsky.social!!) 🧵

hand-made alphabet letters for a typography challenge i recently made. It was a really good creative cleanser. do more weird stuff ppl.

just gonna say it: hope Cloudflare buys Bluesky as well. Check my archives if you think this is my go-to for how to do business. But bsky is VC already; the (future-adversary) deal doesn’t change. Both bsky and cf are engaged in a ‘let’s remake the internet’ project, kept in check by protocols.

We're working on it!

Vatly just processed its very first live payment. 0 → 1. Sound on. vatly.com #MoR

Friends: take a moment to sign european.social. There's strength in numbers and we can bring some game. This can become more than a letter.

Here's the first update on the FedCM grant that I've been working on, which admittedly is quite behind schedule due to my chronic illness. Hoping to get more out quicker in the future.

mu is now available for open testing on Android play.google.com/store/apps/d... We’re already aware of some funky text in a couple of places. Please share your feedback and bugs. Note - this version does not have notifications yet

☁️ Hello Atmosphere! People like to have opinions, which is awesome. Problem is, putting them into perspective is hard. Where We're At is here to change that! 👉 Head over to where-were.at to let us know your opinions about the state of the Atmosphere. We'd love to hear from you!

hot take: software people are going to regret not unionizing when we could

The modern research ecosystem of online tools and communities is controlled by for-profit companies. But we think that researchers should be the priority - not the product. So, we're announcing Aster ID: not-for-profit Atmosphere account hosting for researchers.

So far no labour saving device in the history of humanity has resulted in a long-term increase in leisure time and worker agency.

Hello World from the PLC organization (plcred.org)! The org was soft-announced back in March at AtmosphereConf. We've been working through logistics step by step and now have a public web presence we can point to.

EmDash 1.0 is here! A modern, secure CMS, built on Astro as the spiritual successor to WordPress. Plugins run in secure sandboxes, and the distributed plugin registry is powered by Atproto!

Say hello to Semble Reader 📖 🤓 An in-app article reading experience designed for focus and link foraging 🌱 🫐 Available for all links on the Semble page by clicking the 'Reader' button in the top left corner.

OMGGG you can now self-host lichen.wiki in a container !!!! (we also have a nix flake) wikis still live on people's PDSes, your instance sees the same wikis, nothing to migrate! you can put one wiki at the root of your own domain, or several (eg like one per language) guide here on tangled :

New post on the @cosmik.network blog! A creative new use of @semble.so by @paperpilot.dev inspired a sequel to "Sensors, not Bookmarks" from the writer's perspective - the Connections you make on Semble can help your writing find its natural audience

Dead serious I think Atmosphere in a Box might be one of the best DevEX things I've ever created. Dropped it in to remove a railway dependency on one product already. Released 0.7.0 last night adding dynamic network allocation, wildcard domains, jwks secret generation, and stronger CI examples.

New AT Proto architectural diagram just dropped 👀 arxiv.org/abs/2609.21608

Ok let's try this! Here's a @lichen.wiki powered @atmosphereconf.org 2027 Amsterdam City Guide:

Today we're launching ai-policy.dev! A collaboration of me, @danielroe.dev and @matteogabriele.npmx.social - this provides a few human curated AI contribution policies you can choose from. Our hope is that this will help you better define your stance and what kind of contributions you accept 🙏

apropos of nothing, @emdashcms.com has native support for atproto, its plug-in marketplace is atproto-powered and any plugins that have been registered in time for EmDash v1.0 will get a lot of eyeballs on it. any atmospheric widget will do the trick. discourse.atmosphere.community/t/emdash-as-...

I've been wanting to give @roomy.space a try, so I made a space on there! A casual space for software dev, but I'm sure it will drift to atproto stuff as well (is called Proto Callers). If you've been wanting to check roomy out, this might be a good place to! roomy.space/did:plc:syiz...

The early years of the tech worker movement brimmed with visions of reshaping the industry itself: ambitious climate goals, divestment from the military-industrial complex, and a democratic say over the technologies being built. What went wrong?
