I want to create an incubator that funds atproto/bluesky experimental projects to the tune of $5k-$10k dev grants.
I am sorely tempted to call it “Chemtrails”, because it seeds the ATmosphere
Hit me with your best ideas!

For this reason, foreign spy agencies would be incompetent not to have people on the Caltrain in the Bay Area.
If I manged a spy agency, I'd have a whole team just doing wifi hot spots and recording screens with hidden cameras all over the world.

The Atproto Spaces Alpha is Live
Atproto Spaces, formerly known as “the permissioned data protocol,” is a new extension to atproto that enables non-public data. The alpha is now officially open. Here’s how to develop with it and what to expect as we work towards the full release.

Today feels like celebrating a twenty-year wedding anniversary, five years after a catastrophic divorce ended the relationship.
For me, the relationship started well before the ceremony, and the fault lines of the relationship were visible soon after the honeymoon ended.

atproto has one big idea: apps should be lenses rather than boxes
this idea is still unknown to majority of internet users. even to the majority of web developers
we’re still at a phase where, if you explain it to someone, you can literally see it clicking for them in real time
