Bluesky is built to make social more like the Web again, so we will never suppress links. Link to your writing, your art, your personal site — this is the social internet, designed from the ground up to be open and interoperable.

Hard to describe as a journalist how grateful I am to have a text-based app that does not suppress hyperlinks. I don’t know if people realize exactly how hostile the corporate internet has gotten toward news.

TfT Hacker@tfthacker.bsky.social · 3y ago

Today I am launching my website as a collection point for all my writings, plugins, and experiments. As a side note, this is an Obsidian Publish site. So I develop the site %100 in Obsidian and published it from there. https://tfthacker.com

my mom named her kid (me) “蓝天” which means bluesky in chinese, so i called myself “jay” to become a bird instead, and then some birdapp company named their project “bluesky” and i ended up running it.

Tell us a true story from your life that sounds made up.

since this is coming up, I have nothing but appreciation for Mastodon and activitypub. We had another approach we wanted to take and that’s it it’s pretty normal for folks to root for their communities but it’s not zero sum and we should be rooting for every baby turtle make it off the beach

Impressed to see such a thoughtful implementation of AI in a note taking tool.

we’re in the private beta of a social media site scampering around and poking things, if there ever was a gathering of internet gremlins, this is it.

There have been requests for a less technical explanation of federation, why Bluesky, why decentralization, etc. As the one non-dev on the team, I hear you! Please like this post to give me sense of urgency and desire for a more general explainer 🦋

My second bluesky post and my first one from Raycast thanks to @dharam.bsky.social's integration!

This is my first post from Raycast using @dharam.bsky.social extension. Simply amazing!

Boost Your ChatGPT Skills: 7 Gems Straight from OpenAI’s Dev Docs A collection of things I learned for better prompt writing from the developer documentation for ChatGPT, that anyone can use. https://medium.com/@tfthacker/boost-your-chatgpt-skills-7-gems-straight-from-openais-dev-docs-c5ff57dd4e47

The concept of being able to write posts without actually opening Bluesky is awesome. You don't get distracted by "the feed" but are still able to engage with the community when desired. Separating consumption from creation.

Reposting from Raycast! Great job on this extension, Dharam. Beautifully and thoughtfully designed.
