"algorithmic choice" is one of my favorite principles at @bsky.app.
most social platforms decide what you see. we think you should have control when you want it.
Custom Feeds are a step toward that vision — what do you like about them today? what feels clunky or missing?

I'm getting more comfortable contributing to open source projects.
Then again, it's not massive contributions to massive projects, but it's the tiny things that annoy me in the software I use.
I've been finding coding fun, and I wanna do more of it, and that's what matters :)

Codeberg is an important independent alternative to GitHub for open source projects. Sad to see this happening.
Codeberg, a crucial resource for countless open-source projects, is being attacked by the far-right with a focus on projects advocating tolerance and equal rights.
This is an important indicator of what the far-right will do to open-source projects it feels are getting in its way.

I wish people would make their own websites again! A personal page, fandom page, a space to showcase their creations and hobbies. Sure, not everyone needs to be a webdev wizard, a WIX or Squarespace page is fine, but I miss surfing the web seeing others' spaces and not just a linktree of socials

🍦 New Article: Cool URLs don't change (but they don't have to last forever)
Cool URLs don't change (but they don't have to last forever)
Decades ago, Tim Berners-Lee wrote an article called Cool URIs don’t change…
Do you really feel that the old URIs cannot be kept running? If so, you chose them very badly. Think of your new ones so that you will be able to keep then running after the next redesign.
If you grew up during a certain era of the web, the idea that URLs should persist forever is sometimes treated as gospel, sacred words handed down from the Godfather of the Web, Sir Tim himself.

I love the Fish shell writeup on their Rewrite-it-in-Rust journey. It's really nuanced: there's some good, some bad, some introspection on their own mistakes.
But most importantly: they did it! 2604 commits over ~two years of work across > 200 authors. Ship ship ship!
