this is an interesting interview and if i were clipping it for social media i would have excerpted "We're still a place where we don't downrank links. We love sending traffic to people. We send two million clicks a day to publishers" rather than the part that'll just piss people off lol

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."

@alexbenzer.com are you aware of this issue with chat, where long messages have the reactions inconsistently cut out off depending where you have it scrolled?

I'm going to "Off Protocol LIVE".

Comment sections are so underrated. I recently learned in one that a small group of men is called a podcast

Such a waste 😞

The three-story, 7,800-square foot building – acquired in a tax foreclosure – is back on the market seven years after the city accepted a proposal to convert it into a bar and coffee shop:

Transportation: See the Recommended Route for 30th Street Corridor Trail

Preferred route would place much of trail alongside railroad.

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 2d ago

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

This is looking really cool so far

Having so much fun messing around with this. I wanted to stress test the 3d editor for @brickster.at and ended up making a Death Star trench diorama. The editor has a bunch of new builder tools and you can now invite up to 12 people to edit together using your atproto handles.

@trezy.codes this seems like something you'd find interesting if you haven't already seen it

The portal is powered by a new record to help coordinate how game eligibility and interoperability is declared for Atmosphere Accounts. It's far more useful to #gamedev than just our needs, so we've released it under a second banner as atmosphere.games Visit, and you'll find 36 fun games to play!

Got around to checking out @atmosphere.games today. Played Tanks and Firehose Defense by @equalnotequals.com. They are both very addicting, especially Firehose Defense 😂

ATmosphere Games

Your games. Your data. Your control. Fun experiences that are yours to keep!

@flo-bit.dev I just saw your @rpg.actor sprite playing Spot Em'! It looks so good!!!!

@rpg.actor I feel a little cheated with this one, this was clearly the more custom one lol

Every post which begins "it's not about left vs right" goes on to say something which is easily categorisable as either left or right. "It's not about left vs right, it's rich vs poor" Mmm, yes, what could be more neutral than the concept of class war.

We made a comic about a list.

I'm super stoked about this project, it looks really awesome, can't wait to see what people do with it

Looking for some folks to help me test this. Bonus points if you’re good at pixel art or 3d modeling. Hit me up for early access brickster.at/c/did%3Aplc%...

New landscaping in the back of my condo after a board member said I could "do whatever I want in back". I'm taking that as literally as possible, and making an entirely new garden behind the entire building. Now trying to finish everything before anyone can stop me 🙂 #SecretGardening

Happy Friday! I've been building towards an "Atmosphere OS", where my atproto account is the identity layer on a real phone. I wrote a little bit about it here:

On an Atmosphere OS

What if an Atmosphere account could handle email, groupware, and device-level identity without putting Google or Apple at the center?
