For our last night in #Japan we went down to Nanba. Ate dinner at Kani Dōraku HQ and watched the crowds on Ebisu bridge taking photos of Glico Man. Then down Dotombori to a shrine where you pour water on completely mossed up Buddhist statues #Osaka #lichensubscribe

in some ways this bums me out: browser automation is annoying (APIs should be open), and that the world is so hostile/harsh that even casual meta-content is a liability. but human agency and safety are foundational requirements for the web! endorse and support

How atproto’s current architecture was designed. (iPhone Photos surprising me with some nostalgia)

I don't often like this kind of "interview with big corp exec" type of content, but some interesting stuff in here. the framing around popular feature requests not moving metrics, but still being important anyways, maybe, is relatable. or just back-rationalization!

On the occasion of Threads' first birthday, I talked to @mosseri.bsky.social about growing the team, leaning into real-time conversation, and the challenges of the Fediverse. We also talked about news and politics on the app: www.platformer.news/threads-175-...

I really want @pfrazee.com to implement out-of-band hashtags in the app so I can ironically add #shitpost to bad posts (they are already in the Lexicon! toss us an old-web bone!)

quick project idea: take a set of URLs (browser bookmarks, pinboard.in list, RSS/OPML set, etc) and check which have atproto/bsky accounts

git-worktree is great! thanks for the tip @b0rk.jvns.ca!

debate sounds like a radio call-in of post-career folks. almost like there is an tone/emotion autotune? trump cadence pretty restrained at least to start.

My first meaningful contribution to Atproto (slowly) coming to life 🥹

PDS self-hosters! we have a distro release coming soon. the first part is schema support for starter packs, a feature we just released that uses records in the PDS. second is early OAuth backend support. we don't have the atproto OAuth system documented/specified, but will be soon

atproto devs! we are going to shut down the "sandbox" environment soon. it could still be valuable, but has been unloved and could lead developers astray. we want to focus our dev support resources. what would be most helpful for the ecosystem? anything you personally are waiting on?

Here’s some Monday motivocean from this opulent opalescent nudibranch, Hermissenda opalescens: “Seas the day, frond! You got this!”

how about a little reusable dumpster for backyard use. you set a little fire in there, gather around in the winter and sociably keep your fingers warm
