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!

what I love most about open source is the community 😊
... and I think that's what makes nuxt and vite so special to everyone involved ❤️
I'm glad @patak.dev is willing to join me as a steward of npmx 🙏

 [community](https://bsky.app/profile/danielroe.dev/post/3md47mg7qjs22) that it would be big, and I invited patak to join two days later.
it's impossible to believe that it's been less than a week since we started inviting close allies and trusted folk. we're already at 75+ npmx contributors, and around 200 people on the server now, which is an outstanding percentage.
so now seems like a good time to make explicit what 'npmx' is:
we're open-source and for the good of the web
we're a community project, built by all of us
it might be a bit early for it, but patak and I have drafted a governance doc to set out a bit about how we want to steward npmx. it's short but we'll be filling it out more as we go on.
we've also created an opencollective so we can help support the community and hopefully, one day, help other similar projects.
we want to make the experience of using npmjs better for us and for others. and the joy of open source is that we can do that together! I hope it goes without saying, but thank you ❤️
we'd love your thoughts on the document and on the project 🙏](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jbeaa5kdaladzwq3r7f5xgwe/bafkreie5llrqiqez75hvyang2j62bvd4fbip4fmzb5jkltoiygplhlzjea@jpeg)

Lots of great things happening in Conda these days. Sharded metadata means that many operations are much much faster.
Also, the Conda-pypi work makes it much safer and accurate to use pip packages inside Conda environments.

The Austin STEM Center exists to be the place for kids who learn by doing, who think differently, and who just need someone to say “yeah, let’s build that.”

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting
