Today feels like celebrating a twenty-year wedding anniversary, five years after a catastrophic divorce ended the relationship. For me, the relationship started well before the ceremony, and the fault lines of the relationship were visible soon after the honeymoon ended. bsky.app/profile/newp...

Twitter publicly launched exactly 20 years ago today! ⏪ What was that moment really like? New_ Public’s @blaine.bsky.social was working frantically to keep it up and running as demand exploded during SXSW 😅

Here's an early POC for a "personal website" run entirely on Sifa (and more atproto) data: sifa.id/p/gui.do/site (just append /site to your own profile to see it in action) You can also self-host it: github.com/singi-labs/s...

New_ Public’s @blaine.bsky.social reveals to @rabble.nz how Twitter was almost decentralized — like Bluesky or Mastodon — way back in 2008. Nearly 20 years later, Blaine is now the Head Engineer of Roundabout, our local community app, where he's helping us create a better social media.

Rebuilding Social Media From Scratch!

atproto has one big idea: apps should be lenses rather than boxes this idea is still unknown to majority of internet users. even to the majority of web developers we’re still at a phase where, if you explain it to someone, you can literally see it clicking for them in real time

Check out this exciting workshop at @acm-cscw.bsky.social in October! Calling #ATScience builders and researchers to participate and share your work - lots of synergies with what we're doing here ✨

This was my first time talking in front of an audience about my work at Blacksky and the Blacksky community, simultaneously also the first time I talked about Blacksky in Dutch in front of an audience and I got to do it in my hometown Amsterdam. ❤️🖤

And now they’re explaining to dutch media orgs how they building community trust with Blacksky!

Whoever invented the “eyeball tickler” pressure test to replace the “air puff of doom” deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. I’ll gladly have my eyeballs tickled every hour of the day, then ever have to face the Air Puffer again.

Want to talk to the past? Here' an LLM "trained entirely from scratch on a corpus of over 28,000 Victorian-era British texts published between 1837 & 1899, drawn from a dataset made available by the British Library" Quite different from an LLM roleplaying a Victorian. huggingface.co/spaces/tvent...
