From praising #Arcane to maintaining a Zelda shrine, his posts read like a love letter to nerd culture, reminding us that we can have deep moral debates while wielding a virtual sword or building pixelated farms.
Wow! Indeed 🤔

That's pretty cool
I'm not a Ruby dev. But it's great when #atproto SDKs and libs for more languages are available

Ok, I think it's finished: ruby.sdk.blue - a single shared project page for my Ruby gems for ATProto. It's mostly generated from existing READMEs & example code in the repos, just arranged nicely in one place (vitepress.dev FTW)
In future there should be also RDoc docs there, maybe some guides etc.

I hope the ATmosphere continues to grow
There are 400+ apps built on @atproto.com with daily active users 🤯 @tangled.org is building GitHub but better for indie devs; @gandersocial.bsky.social building an app that follows Canadian laws; etc. We built Bluesky for builders and they are BUILDING!! And I got to meet @laurenshof.online 🤩

If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

Probably. Vibe coding will lead to our IT Armageddon
I feel like these outages will become more common as more AI-written code is put into production processes and systems

That's surprising. I wonder why 🤔
Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]

I primarily read Dark Romance
💙📚
For me, these books are not an expression of support for violence, but rather exciting, dramatic stories that challenge me emotionally and transport me to another world

Sadly true
Our devices have become so much more powerful
But most of it is wasted for ads, "did you already know?", useless AI integration, my devices trying to guess what I'm searching for (and being mostly wrong) and UI/UX redesigns making everything worse and slower

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

I love how #atproto enables (social) apps to integrate so well with each other
Small update: new combined quotes / mentions panel
Previously just showed quotes of the Leaflet post; now *also* shows all Bluesky mentions, including the one linked on initial publish if it exists
Eventually we can expand this to include mentions in other Leaflet posts…and other atproto apps!
