I’m probably just weird, but I like the white stuff on the inside of orange peels. I take the time to peel them so that I maximize the amount left on the 🍊

And my dogs love to eat bits of the peels, but one of them will only eat it if I leave the white stuff on 😅

It’s nice to have that in common 🐶

First, leaflet is so awesome! Second, feels so fun to have a blog again in ‘25 🤩. Third, I love Claude Code and find custom slash commands to be really useful, see my inaugural blog post to learn about /prep -> /design -> /implement -> /audit -> /commit 💨

One of my favourite Iowa farm kid experiences growing up was hunting morels every spring. I got to meet lots of other wonderful species both during those adventures but also just from spending most of my free time wandering in the woods 🤩 1, 8, and 10 were my top: picturemushroom.com/region/Unite...

A worse approach I've considered was to use public-key encryption, where a private post is distributed (and signed) identical to a public one but is encrypted using a private key that was distributed/rotated via an E2EE DM (MLS). Leaks metadata that is certainly better protected by just using MLS.

It seems to me that "shared-private" is exactly what MLS is designed to be and took 7+ years to work through solving the hardest parts, is already synced-arena, and properly layered so that it could fully support atproto semantics within the messages. cc @ipv.sx

This is a *fantastic* read, anyone who cares about Bluesky should certainly be subscribed to Connected Places, 👏 @laurenshof.online!

Super fascinating ideas in here, thank you for sharing!

Elizabeth Bear’s White Space series has me grinning like a fool and pausing just to savor it. It’s the first time since Iain M. Banks’ Culture that I’ve felt this mix of wonder+intellect, and sheer relevance packed into a universe, just so sharp and humane, huge thank you @matociquala.bsky.social! 🤩

I’m pretty eager for both claude code and cloud codex to get native computer-use agent capabilities, so that they can fully interact w/ apps as part of their development loops.

I’ve been able to make it partially work and it’s powerful, will be a big unlock once built-in and better!

Can Bluesky say every word in the dictionary?
I dunno but I plan to find out!

I made a website that tracks every single word said on bluesky (as of yesterday).

After foresaying the electorhips’ digressional spruits, I dwalm dopily in contemplations, imagining characterizer clapperboys formalizing comsymps into digitioriums. Elderships chastened fanaticisms; ferms florent & expunger coifing germanises, cephalotomy dichlamydeous himations creeling fainties.

It's just like any other developer tool, you have to learn when it's useful and when not, and it can certainly be both.

I would love to hear about your research here! … and block all those unthoughtfully dogpiling

Why does ‘shipped’ have two p’s, but ‘worshiped’ only have one?

I’ve been wondering on using public-key encryption for this, where the blobs (perhaps even full CARs) are encrypted to a public key and the private key is distributed OOB (DMs, MLS, etc).

Allows for them to be openly published and attached to social events, but only certain recipients can decrypt.

Agree completely on the "meh" smell and the hype dogpiling karma farming rapid exploitation of MCP. It was launched with a very niche specific use-case and is now being bikeshedded to all get-out...

That being said, it'll have a place and provide some value, I just don't find it very interesting 🤷
