RE: vmx.cx/cgi-bin/blog... There is a discucssion going on about adding floating-point numbers of ATProto. It concerns me that floating-point numbers may be added without also adding fixed-point numbers Many people mistakenly use float-points in situations where they should have used fixed-points

Iβm not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Donβt share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I need everyone to go into @twinkl.social and setup a theme so that my feed can become even more beautiful
Rotated 15,000 DID signing keys over the last couple days while I couldn't deploy which was a really not fun experience. Railway incident has taught me that we need to build more API first tech that isn't fully configured by variables. We need minimum viable start then endpoint bootstrap with HSM
Getting ready to rotate 10,000+ signing keys, weeeee
In case you're wondering what's coming to @twinkl.social , working on a funky gif picker.
Feels good to finally get that @twinkl.social out, been sitting on half that for over a month. The next big update is gonna be so cool

SW friends, OnlyFans and Fansly profile links should work now! Refresh or force-quit and reopen your app a couple times so you get the update
some folks reported not being able to use certain adult-focused platforms (like onlyfans and fansly) β there was an internal miscommunication and these were accidentally added to the list of disallowed domains. this is now fixed! but you may need to refresh your app to get the update. π

Sanctuary Computer work with mission-driven startups, cultural institutions, and elite teams inside large organizations, shaping technology and design into outcomes that create real-world impact. They are looking for a Head of Technology. buff.ly/mltVJtP
Already seeing context collapse about the profile links feature. Shout out to the dev @thepope.dev who worked on it and and honestly communicated really well how she is working on it in the thread. It could have cooked a bit longer and taken a different approach but how to handle nsfw is not easy.
Yeah, hang in with me here, Iβm only a single dev that worked on this. Trying to make sure I donβt misspeak or speak for the other folks who worked on this. I understand this sentiment and I want to give you the answer you want to hear. The simplest context I can give you is this

Okay so can we use this to move people over to @mu.social and @eurosky.social or @blackskyweb.xyz or @transrights.northsky.social Like advertise your web and mobile apps under this post. Plug that you support this & let's use this momentum to start migrating people to other clients/PDS/appviews.
Consider why you might not want a company that is subject to the laws of the countries in which it operates to be able to directly query the pronouns of its userbase. And you can always use a profile link pronoun.is
How do I get that cool pic
ATProto is headed to MozFest! Will we see you there? Check out our co-founder @tessa.germnetwork.com on a panel with @rude1.blacksky.team of Blacksky, @kandake.africa of Eskahlay and Northsky, and @offline.arushibandi.com of Habitat β moderated by the one and only @anildash.com

Oh they're just mask off with the racism now
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...
