Multiplayer Twine is in live alpha! Sign up now to get a link. It's like Docs for IF, but fully open-source and self-hostable. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... h/t @chrisklimas.com for this awesome collaboration!

Creatives!! Artists, musicians, writers, game designers, content creators, culture makers and culture experts, members/curators of fandom! Please consider submitting an application to speak as part of the CREATE track at Atmosphere Conf 2027! atmosphereconf.org/speak

> developers can also use [Fabric components] in other React applications that need built-in support for formatting, labeling, theming, and interaction. Linked brushing in malleable software is huge. Excited to give it a spin!

realllyyyyyy feeling this right now.... www.theexclusive.org/2018/07/logi...

Helping non-devs get the words and spaces and advocacy avenues to participate in creating for the open web and have input in protocol development has been an honor. And that's where I come from: I've seen the damage this does to non-devs folks and how it impacts us all. We don't have to keep at it.

I'm hiring a postdoc to start in summer/fall 2027! My lab uses computational social & cognitive science methods to explore how tech shapes knowledge & power: www.crockettlab.org You can submit an application here: apply.interfolio.com/195297. Review of apps starts Nov 20. Please share!

Given their foundations in open source code it's not unreasonable to claim that the only ethical uses of LLMs for programming are in open source projects

If you have a developer education budget at work, I would really encourage you to use it on your favourite developer educators. A lot of us are deciding whether or not to keep doing this stuff, and that support would help send a signal that we should keep going. ❤️

Just p2p replicated dialog db with @cdata.earth over via @iroh.computer ✨It feels pretty realtime

I can think of several smart humans who might be interested in trying this out, but my general take is that if you ever liked HyperCard you'll like Scrubjay:

The best definition of "slop" I can think of: it's slop if it took the person responsible for producing it less time to make it than it'll take for the person reading it I think it's a good definition because it also captures pre-LLM anti-social behavior, eg shit emails that needed time to respond

I am very pleased to share the program for LIVE'26: liveprog.org We have seven exciting presentations as well as a featured keynote by Brian Hempel! LIVE this year will take place remotely, so come join us over video-chat next Saturday (Oct 17) :)

New from our lab! #COLM2026 When people generate stories, they don't just write one prompt. Instead, they explore narrative space via branching edits 🌱 We reconstruct 24k of these edit trees 🌳 from chat logs and map edit types, story formats, how they relate to tree depth, and more!

Glad to report that my text 'Technoetic Ecologies of Another AI: Play, Process, and the Post-Biological Imagination' has been published in the latest issue of @leonardoisast.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1162/LEON... #planetarycollegium #cybernetics #AI #Daoism #technoetic

Then in the main CSCW conference, we have a paper on the politics of decentralized social media protocol designs: dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1... See you there? Please reach out if you're around!

Anyway, your problem isn‘t finding the time to take notes. The problem is that taking notes is thinking and thinking has to be done by someone. women have been doing a lot of metacognition that looks like a task when it’s really thinking.

It is known that doing things slowly may not be a sell for everyone, but when you move at a speed that reflects what it looks like to be careful with people, you'll see how much relief you create. And joy. lesscomputer.ca/direct-the-c...

I think this is still quite relevant www.dreamsongs.com/Files/Patter...

1/ It’s time to share more about what we’ve been working on: @commonfabric.com is a social computing lab building a medium for software that revolves around people, not apps. commonfabric.com

Using functional lenses we can project a reactive notebook to also be a slide deck (at the same time). observablehq.com/@tomlarkwort... riffed from @jwolondon.bsky.social slides design but with offline-first support

SF folks - Feeling of Computing coffee is tomorrow at 10am! Come join us at the Ferry Building, and chat about what you're building 👀 bsky.app/profile/offl...

get in gang we're making an internet map

I think it's also the case that we will not be starved of understanding because of AI, but because we've been increasingly devaluing understanding in favor of results and outputs that AI fits right into the current state of scientific production.

observable's community is just stacked with talent

It's Mr. Beast going "why do we need schools if I can learn engineering in 20 min from watching Mark Rober". If you don't know the breadth of what you're learning it's easy to convince yourself you're an expert

this demo is such a tease. I want PlayBook yesterday.

Come chat with me about feminine computer creativity :) Did you make experimental hobbyist games? Did you mod the sims? Did you make Neopets fan sites? Are you Australian and over 18yo?

🙋‍♂️ ever wanted to build something without needing to configure a db, auth, file storage or a cms? it turns out you already have all four if you have a bluesky account 👉 airspace is a typed client for it

Our Feeling of Computing Slack-to-ATProto bridge has been upgraded to be bidirectional, so posting in ATProto on @colibri.social writes back into Slack. Another step towards weening ourselves FoC off Slack. 9 years (!) of history has been backfilled code here wiki.feelingof.com/slack-colibr...

I want weirder representations of "readings"—the trace/artifact produced by a reader's interaction with text(s). Here playing with a cut-up "poster-ification". Cumbersome in many ways, but interesting.

This synergy, as we’re experiencing in math and coding, is pretty powerful. But confusing the two is a trap, behind which we surrender our own capacity to reason and interpret (often with the aid of tools) convincing looking artifacts.

Qt good work with commentary more than you qt bad work with corrections or disagreement. It feels vacuous but it's much more important.

platforms are always political. the protocol provides new technical affordances, but not enough to overcome the pressures, biases, and bad incentives built into capitalism on their own. loved meeting fellow builders and talking products & politics @atproto.nyc - many thanks to the organizers!

Developed by @meri.garden, sponsored by @cosmik.network on behalf of the @atproto.science Roomy community, we present to you: Cross-space federation of channels 💞

with all the deskilling and gell-manning (etc) we're gonna get from automated thinking machines, now is the time for the 'tools for thought' crowd to make tools that help you think things through for yourself. tools to do *more* hard thinking. it should feel effortful. cherish that feeling.

So what's next? I'm looking for full-time work in Denmark. If you know of a role in DK that needs someone who's spent two decades at the intersection of AI, human creativity, and socially-driven tech experiences, I'd love an introduction

SF folks - we're chatting with @essentialrandom.bsky.social about creative tech and pathways for building a better web, together. Tomorrow morning! Join us! atmo.rsvp/p/jazztap.bs...

this is one of the most deranged (positive) fan works I've seen. please watch this video
