Today is the day the story There Will Come Soft Rain is set. An amazing and heartbreaking work of fiction for our modern age. Read it here:

Is this a thing? Something about private data on AT Proto, where a person could purchase content and have a copy of said content injected into their Private Data, so it could not be removed without their consent? I’m thinking “I’ve bought a copy of a book, and now the book blob lives in my PDS”
That captures it fairly well. Wildfire smoke over North Vancouver. Smoky clouds and an orange hue of the sun. Not much of a smoky “taste” in the air yet, thankfully. Time to close the doors and windows.
When he’s inevitably replaced as FIFA President, will the headline be “Outfantino”?
This is an interesting rendering difference on carousel. The effect works really well at full screen, but in the post view (as you view the Quote Post), the images look broken. /cc @alexbenzer.com @esb.lol
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 5d agoThe cost of groceries has become one of the defining challenges of the affordability crisis. That's why our municipal grocery stores will offer a 30% discount on the grocery staples New Yorkers depend on — from meat to produce to dairy.
@disnetdev.com oh and absolutely need to integrate with @cocore.dev ! Agents organized *and* running on distributed computing, and it’s *all* transacted via AT Proto? 🤯
“AI can count the items in your fridge”. We’ve had better systems in place for this for years. Hotel minibars have been able to nail you for those chocolate bars (and who’s kidding the odd beer too), well before Transformers were a twinkle in Google’s eye. www.fastcompany.com/91572019/sta...

I read this as Diplodocus and immediately thought “This is Jurassic Park”. “They had all identified the mystery bacterium as a gram-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive ✱diplococcus✱ with carbohydrate fermentation patterns all consistent with N. meningitidis.”

You could say Infantino … FA’d and FO
John Bull@garius.bsky.social · 6d agoSo Concacaf sides with Uefa. FIFA's financial power grab is done. What's funny is Infantino would probably have just about got away with this if it wasn't for the Balogun thing. As i said at the time, that scared the absolute shit out of the European FAs. So they instantly closed ranks on this.
Who's building the AT Proto version of buzz.xyz (which is built by Block, and based on nostr)? Maybe @roomy.space could enable this functionality? It's a Slack-like UI for many humans and many agents to work in a shared space.
Buzz — Your people, your agents, your project — all in one place.
Come test the early stages with us.

Here’s a feature “if I try to post on a day when somebody in my circle has already scheduled to post, or has posted, let me know and let me decide what to do - default to publish tomorrow.” We’ll call this feature Jim-sanity.
Jim Ray@jimray.bsky.team · last wk.Lotta good posts happening out there today. I need to get a little work done could we maybe space these out?
Wish @github.com would render *.mdc files like Markdown with a best effort. Yo, @tangled.org do you do this already? Probably (complementary).

Travelling to UK to be hit by the “we need to check your age” pop up on the Chat screen. Womp womp
Noticing there’s some people who’s content I don’t get so much in my feed often (even though they still post!). Had to check that people like @ashley.dev still post here (she does!). Anyway, probably time I reviewed how many people I follow?
@ngerakines.me is sending it as the kids would say. 3rd part in the series, and all of these parts make understanding permissions data much easier to understand.

If the plot is “no price is too high to pay to bring Matt Damon home”, I am fully sat for the movie.
Excited to hear more about what your role is outside of product!
Paul Frazee@pfrazee.com · 3w agoI just watched it from the sidelines since I moved out of product. Those poor folks tried it twice before getting blocked due to ecosystem readiness issues. Finally doing it... yeah it's great

@hotdogsladies.bsky.social I am now hearing people pin TV shows says “coh - en” (cotton) in the way you described “im poh ten” (important) I believe it was the show “In The City”, if I hear it again I’ll find a reference.
They’re talking about a decentralized voting system on the news. You know what else is decentralized?! <insert TM here>
