Vibe coding is working as expected: it'll kill the open-source, secure, and ideologically maintained alternatives to make sure you have to pay the oligarchs to do anything at all, and they can control what you're allowed to make.

An excellent piece by @kayserifserif.place about how we're thinking about Generative AI at @fathom.info, focused on the things we /want/ to build—from the artifacts we produce to the internal culture that makes it happen:

atproto ecosystem growth really strengthens my belief that this project is critical to reclaiming the internet we deserved. the protocol offers the interoperability and extensibility that Web 2.0 promised but failed to deliver

Trenitalia's internal API for getting the real-time travel info for a train has a beautiful translation error: the platform identifier field is called `binary`, because in Italian, platform is "binario".

Not a holiday piece, but could be, Linus Åkesson's version of Ravel's Boléro for mostly Commodore 64-derived instruments, with a floppy drive, NES, and Amiga thrown in. As always, an explosive combination of technical and musical skill, and understatedness. #c64

My advice for having a nice bluesky experience:
- follow *and boost* anybody who posts weird/interesting stuff. If your paths diverge you can mute them
- interact with people in good faith and you'll often be met with the same (and gain followers)
- post the kinds of things you want to see more of!

At some point there’ll be a market for specialised devices that take images of actual reality.
this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

When I find a torrent with one person seeding it, I like to imagine a Windows XP machine, dimly lit by a failing light bulb. Running 24/7 for 15 years, no utility company dare pin down it's location. But there it is, bleach.avi, long forgotten in an insane asylum basement.

"we found a Type Of Guy who represents a particularly helpful corner of the latent space" is easily my favorite type of positive LLM posting.
Our Discord support agent was kind of annoying, so I asked it to pretend to be a 58-year old systems administrator from Ohio that wrote on forums a lot.
Turns out -- this makes your support bot extremely competent. The quality of its support responses are now far better.

Just booted up my old Apple G5 from around 2010 to copy some old data and… what an awesome machine! It’s extremely fast and responsive, the UI is focused and usable, everything just makes sense. It honestly feels snappier than my current M2 Air.

Congrats to the @leaflet.pub team on shipping "Looseleaf" - standalone docs AND a new canvas doc type, without the need for a publication, all published to your own PDS with all of the block types.
New: *Looseleaf* publishing — a way to publish standalone Leaflets on AT Protocol! 📝🍃
We started with publications on atproto; now we're bringing it all together so _anything_ you write on Leaflet, incl single documents / posts, can be 'atprotated' :)
Learn more in thread! ⬇️
