Learned about a thing: Chi-Fi IEM

Yayy! Where are my Atmosphere buddies in the Rhein-Main area? It’s time for a meet up over here 🙋🏻‍♂️

What’s the strava on atproto called?

This is what we've been working on over the last few weeks. It's our own little contribution to the atmosphere: "zero friction" PDS hosting. There are still lots of great features in the pipeline, but we wanted to get started early and share our progress openly with you.

I'm excited

I was today years old when I found out that the 1976 Game Breakout was made by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs before they founded Apple

as a little pre-show surprise, here's an early draft of the permissioned data proposal! github.com/bluesky-soci...

who's harassing who here 🪰

I’ve tried to stay calm these past few days but reality is I’m pissed as hell. Pissed at @ec.europa.eu and @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu acting like influencers for a closed platform. Be on W, be on Bluesky, be on mu, but promote a gated platform as your solution to the social media mess we’re in?

the painful thing about it is that with maybe a week of work, @bsky.app has the power to make account migration ACTUALLY ACCESSIBLE AND USABLE to non-technical users. it almost is — but these three or four papercuts each ruin the flow

Kept thinking about the Cal.com thing. The security argument is the small story. Maintainer burnout + AI generated PR floods + faster-than-human vuln scans, all pressing on the same 30-year dev stack, is the bigger one. Something made it #OutOfMyNotetakingSoftware

going closed source now is locking the gates while the guards are still outside. Good read by @adamconway.ie www.xda-developers.com/cal-went-clo...

I miss ascii in excalidraw. So here is glyphfield: a copyable text canvas so you can ditch the svgs and bitmaps in your docs. sams.tngl.io/glyphfield

Packed room at #2MR / Save Social thx @bjoernsta.eimsbuettel.social.ap.brid.gy !

We're still in the process of building some infrastructure. But to the question, "CaN wE sEe ANyThInG yEt?". Yes. And we'll be able to use it soon, too 👀

took a few photos in #Hamburg today. #fujifilm #35mm

Road to #2MR in #hamburg. See you soon @sebastian.eurosky.social ✌🏻

That’s so nice! Thanks a lot @sifa.id If anyone wants to talk about making a atproto ui for the mainstream, lets talk ✌🏻 Oh and what about a atproto community meet-up in Frankfurt @atmosphere.community

has someone recently used an iPad for (web) development? There has been this 2021 approach to just host a VSCode instance and use it in the browser. But are there local alternatives today that are really usable?

Let's goooo

We'll figure out some extra sticker printing and send them along to Japan, Europe, and other places for people to distribute.

major FOMO from the ATmosphere conf in Canada. can't make it this time unfortunately. @sebastian.eurosky.social bring me stickers pls, I'll pick them up in Berlin when you're back

been hacking on managed PDS hosting for the ATmosphere. goal: zero config, just works. still super early but it's coming together nicely

"Bluesky will never decentralize" Yes, you're right, that's what the Atmosphere is for. You're welcome to help expand it so your worst fears aren't confirmed due to inaction.
