The city of Columbus, Ohio just launched this week with our open source platform Common giving the public more say in the city budget. Our small team started building it about a year ago to improve economic democracy. Exciting to see it at the municipal level now. abc6onyourside.com/news/local/c...

“Everyone is just chasing the short dollar rather than thinking deeply about what sort of investment is required to rejuvenate… We really want to be part of a bigger ecosystem that’s thinking about how the change needs to happen.” #thebighustle

what would you want to be able to do on an open concert listings site?

Buildin' on open protocols for shared arts infra to improve the ecosystem. :) #atproto #venuecms

You'll very soon be able to connect @bsky.app to your @venuecms.com account and instantly publish your events to the decentralised web. This @smokesignal.events screenshot shows events I simply updated at @edition-festival.com after hooking it up. Super excited for what this makes possible !

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Giving a hexdump from xxd of the top bit of a corrupted file of unknown encoding to an LLM is a pretty good use-case for quick identification of what kind of file something at least wants to be. #TIL

upshot is that we now have a beta version of a new onboarding process, so do get in touch if you'd like early access (and some extra support). more info on what @venuecms.bsky.social is here: www.venuecms.com

Great to spend the day working on @venuecms.bsky.social with @scazan.bsky.social in person. Big fan of our usual async working methods but it's always a thrill to see him shredding in the codebase in real time.
