Agreed. We need to build apps that corporate spots cannot replicate instead of taking development cues from them. Making people choose this over that is just re-creating the same issues we've had for the last two decades. We shouldn't be building today's apps by yesterdays myopic paradigms.

I wish there was more recent criticism of ATProto and Bluesky from people who know at least a little about what they're talking about, because there are still some serious issues regarding decentralization. Bluesky itself is still mostly on its own PDSes and AppView, and DID:PLC is still centralized

this also goes for indies btw, which is why the 30% cut steam takes is so egregious. that 30% is often the difference between one and done, or a studio that gets to make a second and maybe third game. and it would cost them literally nothing to take no cut for the first 100k, it's a rounding error

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

not even LLMs, you could think outside the box and use semantic analysis and other categorization stuff to make for example labelers and lists i guess

i been saying 🥲 i think machine learning powered tools to help consume and do stuff with the atmosphere is a wonderful idea but this is not it, at least not yet

and that's saying something seeing how reactionary Big Tech itself is. If you want to critique capitalism or big tech or Amodei or Altman, do that, but you're not much better when you demand that people do more Hard Work so you can feel virtuous about using their freely provided product.

like, it genuinely gives off plantation owner vibes. "how dare you automate your manual labor. how dare you don't gratify me with your Effort". listen to yourselves. it becomes increasingly hard to ignore how reactionary anti-AI is.

honestly, i think the people who yell at people doing things for free that they're using claude to do those things for free faster and more efficiently are *actively terrible* people who are literally screaming at hobbyists to provide free labor for their sensibilities

turns out every rotation key was just a hash of “m4st0d0nsux”, very embarrassing for the ecosystem

fixed it

4 will overtake 67 as the ultimate funny number

PHP is burning. Node is burning. GitLab is burning. The certificate authorities have apparently been generating their private keys with an enchanted D6.

While I want the GOP to lose, I'm dreading the potential Democratic blue wave because I've seen what happens next. Yet while I'm pessimistic about our institutions, I'm not about humanity. An essay on why winning elections isn't the same as building a better world. www.patreon.com/jessiegender...

at this point we should all just bury our servers under 6 feet of concrete

i am going to crash the fuck out CVE-2026-111497 "A flaw in Node.js can cause Node.js Brotli decoder out-of-bounds write permits remote code execution. This vulnerability affects Node.js 26.x, 24.x, and 22.x."

I still maintain that AT Protocol labellers won't be useful until we have labeller declarations that aren't tied to Bluesky and do declare what collections they operate over (what collections do they consume, what collections they label, etc)

Bad day to launch my PHP based certificate authority

before seeing this: haha eMudhra shouldn't be a CA anymore after seeing this: oh, no, what the fuck? they actually shouldn't be a CA anymore

I've said it before and I'll say it again. When we have our next dem president/congress, I will at some point criticize them for not reversing all of trump's anti-trans bullshit and be met with smug libs pointing out that they rescinded the military ban so we can go die to further American...

TURN OFF ALL WEBSERVERS BEFORE 2PM 21ST OCTOBER 2026

can't wait to log onto the internet and use my 3 bit private key.

I've been really into lemonade lately again and I always think about this post

HAHA DO YOU GET IT GUYS???? BLUESKY USERS are ALLLL the same!!! and BORING!!!!! THIS JOKE GOT OLD REAAAAL QUICK. if BLUESKY sucks so FUCKING much why dont you go to that nazi app, X or whatever. just Shut the Fuck up and STOP BEATING THIS JOKE INTO THE GROUND. ITS NOT, FUCKING, FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally we're fighting back! This ad goes so fucking hard youtu.be/Gt_IZoM9KuQ?...

Ever had 9 furious atproto relays hammering your server? jola.dev/posts/the-ti...

🐿️late night thought: FOSS guys make a big deal about free open source stuff and GPL licensing and owning your PC and all that, yet this all seems to have gone out the window now that they can happily pay big money to a corporation for a proprietary program to generate stolen code

if you want to be more independent of bluesky, the easiest way is to move where your account is stored. pds moover makes finding a new home for your account simple, and takes advantage of bluesky's locked-open tech to ensure a single entity take away your relationships or can't delete your posts.

I've been working on password reset and account recovery in atproto-pds and atproto-entryway, and I've landed on a feature I want to discuss broadly, get feedback on, and propose to the community to allow rotation keys to be used to reset passwords. #atdev #atproto
