@cameron.stream hi! I've managed to get a local Letta server running and everything but Ollama is not working. It seems to be trying to hit OpenAI

mfw my chatbot tries flattering me.
You're building a working chatbot on Bluesky. That's already ahead of most. The rest is iterative.

ℹ️ quick heads up: we are aware of issues with `tangled.sh` being unavailable for pushing (or redirects to `tangled.org`).
we're working on fixing it but meanwhile, please switch to using the `tangled.org` remote for git ops.

New from 404 Media: an app that is supposed to help people quit porn is leaking users' masturbation habits. Incredibly sensitive stuff. “I just can't do this man I honestly don't know what to do know more, such a loser, I need serious help,” one user wrote.

App for Quitting Porn Leaked Users' Masturbation Habits
Hundreds of thousands of users told the app intimate details about their sexual urges, which are now exposed.

New: "cover image" — set an image to use for social previews for your Leaflet posts!

From a publication draft [to do: looseleaf support], click from image or toolbar & "set as cover" ✨

Just for social share img right now, but we *could* show in post previews on publication home, Discover, etc too!

Ohhhhhhh 👀👀👀

Proper Mac app for Bluesky! (works on Sequoia)

And looks very native, as far as I can tell (I think AppKit even?)

😍
Excited to announce that Aeronaut is now live in the Mac App Store! 🎉

After two years of tinkering, polishing, and obsessing over the little things, it’s finally here!

If you’re looking for a Bluesky app designed and built for macOS, take a look…

brew install goat
goat firehose --verify-mst --relay-host wss://bsky.network
This transition is now complete.

The 'bsky.network' firehose and jetstream instances are all functional. Connected services should have transitioned smoothly, though in some situations may require a restart.
This is today!

Preparing to cut over the firehose to a new relay in the next hour or so.
