Listening to some of the music I enjoyed as a late teen/early adult in the early 2010s and holy damn, I heard to the most depressing music I could imagine.
Just thinking: - Obsidian Sync on your own PDS - Notion alts - Discord alts - Family/Team planning apps - Figma / Figjam alts - Social media planning apps - AI tools for keeping memories, plans, configurations at one place - CRMs - Photo Libraries - Client / Freelancer tools (with sifa integration)
I wonder what will happen when private data finally hits PDS. I mean people could use their PDS for all kinds of crazy stuff! 😄
I had a crashout over coding with LLM and had to write a post about my weekend experiment. Still quite new to blogging, don't be to harsh pls. 🥲 bdbch.com/blog/breakin...
Breaking out of the LLM cycle
How I stopped using LLM tools for everything and started writing code again.

This sounds worrying. However I wonder what stops the right-wing from hosting their own PDS and Relays.
Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
Personal opinion and recommendation: Avoid large conferences like WeAreDevelopers and embrace + enjoy smaller ones like @localfirstconf.com. I'm currently watching localfirstconf talks and all of them are more interesting than anything I've seen on WAD by a large magnitude!
On one side people run 24/7 AI agents to do the most mundane and unnecessary shit while on the other side the Rhine and Danube river are completely dried up rn. Dystopian as fuck.
If you're a maintainer, I highly recommend you watch Brendan's @localfirstconf.com talk. He goes over the story and lessons learned to get @iroh.computer from idea to 1.0. It's a testament to why finding and maintaining proper scope is fundamental to the success of open source projects.

Not sure what to think about this. Technically it's right. Frontier AI becomes more and more dangerous - on the other hand, the people signing this were full-in for replacing "everything" with their AI models a few months ago and made fun because Europe was regulating. www.pacingthefrontier.com

So Opencode just silently dropped their Zero Data Retention info because of the new DeepSeek v4 Flash update I assume? opencode.ai/docs/go/#pri... What a shame, I'd rather use the old one and keep ZDR instead of now basically not being able to trust the providers anymore.
Good morning my absolute favorite social media platform on the internet. 👋
The design job market in Berlin is absolutely terrible right now. Anyone knows someone who's looking for a brand or graphic designer or knows someone in Berlin that could look for one? My partner is looking for a new opportunity but going through LinkedIn or other job platforms is terrible.
Need to test this next time I see an automated message / reply.
I did _not_ expect that to work.
There's a dooming notion going around that making a living with software is "dead" because of AI because nowadays people just can vibe code their own apps, libraries or frameworks if they need to - imho I'd still rather pay for a professionally maintained solution but I wonder if there's some truth
@schvenk.bsky.social is hosting a PM, Founder & Designer meetup in Berlin beginning of August. If you are in Berlin and you think building products is interesting you could maybe take a peek! luma.com/8sokwvmy

Let's say you have the following setup: - multiple opensource repos - 1-2 closed source repos - all of them are related to each other and have cross-dependencies Where would you put the docs if your documentation should be one page.
I need some RSS recommendations or blogs you enjoy reading. I'm looking for tech / opensource / atproto / ai focused resources. Would love some inspo! 🤲

After years of making everyone build their own find-and-replace extension, we have decided that this should perhaps be our problem too. Coming very soon. More small OSS extensions will follow for other things you should never have needed to implement yourself.
nuxters are the best ❤️ I have lots of PRs still to merge before we announce our winners, but ... this is incredible. can you believe we closed 242 issues in our inaugural nuxtathon? 🤯 now, please get some sleep! 😴
One day later and it's 200! Nice job community.
what a dream team for our first nuxtathon!! 🎉 100 issues down so far 🎉
I am so not looking forward for the WC Finale "Ad break" in the middle of the match. Feels so unreal/fake to me. The pre-show was weird already with Robin Williams or Tom Cruise (???)
