Cloudflare launching wallets for agents with x402 support. They’re doing the handles landgrab at cloudflare.pay - but looks like it uses subdomains, so could compose with atproto.
Announcing Cloudflare Wallets: The programmable wallet for the agentic Internet
Cloudflare Wallets will provide AI agents with native payments and verifiable identity on the web. Using the x402 protocol, agents can autonomously purchase APIs and content within clear safety guardrails.

Bending Spoons is buying Airtable - which is very bad because BS is known for buying companies & squeezing them for profit. Gordon screams & wants a local first version. Grist is an OSS alternative supported by European governments.

I subscribed to the Umans founders plan at the end of June. Below is the email they sent canceling it as of August 1st. I'm happy with the usage I had, which wasn't 24/7 agents, and two weeks of travel. I guess I'll try pay-per-token for a while, and of course our local AI compute ZAI project … 📓↝
Lots of people have been asking about the atproto alternative to Buzz, the Jack Dorsey-supported Nostr chat for agents & humans to chat in. The answer is freeq, which is atproto + IRCv3 extensions, including CRDTs with Automerge, QUIC, iroh. Follow @freeq.at.
freeq — the room where humans and agents work
freeq is chat infrastructure for humans and AI agents: cryptographic identity (Bluesky for people, did:key for agents), signed messages, verifiable channel policies, voice sessions, E2EE, CRDT federation — all as backwards-compatible IRC.

Fark founder Drew Curtis writes about the state of the Internet today & effects on Fark: > “The core problem that we can't fix is if people hate the entire news cycle because of stuff, they are going to struggle to want to keep Fark as a daily read.”
Drew Curtis (@drewcurtis.bsky.social)
So with regards to what I said about how Fark won't survive this year without more TF subscribers, I wrote up a longer explanation about what we're all up against. Not just Fark, all of digital media. https://www.fark.com/comments/blog1796/Fark-NotNewsletter-Not-Ready-to-go-on-cart

Distillery captures it at the point of creation, connects it into a living graph, and surfaces it conversationally. It monitors feeds, tracks what matters to your projects, and alerts you before you know to ask. A team brain that learns.

I met one of the devs who work on Fibery at Local-First. I like the description “an operating system for orgs run by nerds”. Kind of Grist-like, not open source, and SaaS per-seat pricing after the first 10 users. (They do have free to use for OSS).
