I think I'm going to map my bluesky domain to this page. Such a cool application on top of my atproto personal data store. Some of the pages people are creating are super cute!
They called it AI and now I gotta debate the definition of intelligence with my barber
Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.
Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.
Amazon’s Ring and Flock cameras are spying on you. And they share your info with the police and ICE.

Join us THIS WEDNESDAY as we break down how these products are used as weapons against our communities.

Rethinking ambiguity as legibility: sometimes you want your work easily understood by many, sometimes you don't (and that's OK)

Connecting my continuum of ambiguity to political theory about visibility, opacity, and what "working openly" actually means:

People have said this before, but it's weird that if you are in the Bluesky age demographic of 38 to 42, young people right now are talking *exactly* like the incel loser 4chan dweebs you encountered 15 years ago.

They're using words you deeply associated, long ago, with incel CSAM dweebs on chans
Today's light reading. I'm putting together a community capacity building plan and need to school up on the latest best practices and how to talk about this stuff with different collaborator types who bring different things to the table.

Conclusion so far: It's a lot to simplify and make legible.
Two stapled, black-and-white academic articles printed on letter-size paper lie side by side on a dark surface. The left document is titled “Building Capacity to Sustain Social Movements” with a subtitle about lessons from public education reform. The right document is titled “Social Movements and Philanthropy: How Foundations Can Support Movement Building” and includes a columned layout with headings and key points visible.
I'm working on getting family members to stop using Ring camera doorbells on their front doors, for obvious reasons. I'm researching alternatives, but does anyone have strong recommendations?
@chrismessina.me Hey! I'm trying to remember someone's name. If I'm remembering correctly dude did research on social networks circa 2009 and came up with the whole circles thing and then he got hired by Google to continue/apply his work toward Google plus.
Emoji is neoliberal, not working class. We have 👮 police, 🏦 banks, 💹 stocks go up, 👔 office necktie, 🏛️ government, ⚖️ law, 🤴👸 royalty

but no wages stub, no union card, no "on strike" sign, no pink slip.

there's a levitating businessman emoji 🕴️ but no picket sign.
> Blacksky didn’t begin with a pitch deck or a promise of disruption. It began with something much older and more enduring – a principle of mutual aid.

Custom feeds are not communities. But they can become commons.
Worth flagging: thoughtful write-up on localization gaps in AT Protocol lexicons

(For the nontechnical, this is about how apps like Bluesky that are built on top of ATproto make our content accessible globally by default or not.)

#LanguageJustice
Longtime Mozillian here! If anyone in the #atproto community wants a little support before applying to this Mozilla program, I can offer a listening ear, a look at your proposal for feedback, a little facilitation with you and/or your team for ideation or stress testing your ideas, etc. Hit me up.
zeu @zeu.dev
just saying atproto peeps, they got a category perfect for us, go and apply!
Financial security eats up so much of one’s productive capacity (and well-being). Imagine what Emelia could do in a safe and steady work environment.

I see her helping someone in the atmosphere every single day with anything from tech support on Discord to critical security disclosures. Hire her!

So here's a short write up explaining what happened today and what I'm going through, at a high level. It does include some history too, but I tried to keep it brief.
Thank you @wyden.senate.gov (see thread) - we need everyone joining these efforts. Surveillance tech is fueling violence across our country and communities. Call on your elected leaders to stop it: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-f...
Senator Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov
1. ICE is using Palantir apps to collect biometric data on protestors. I'm working closely with @markey.senate.gov to stop this.
yes!! i also love this related martinism:

Whether something is decentralised or not is a function of the administrative control of different parts of the system, not a function of the network topology.
@margin.at I know this isn't on y'alls radar yet, but whenever you turn your gaze outside the atproto ecosystem it'd be hella amazing to be able to sync my highlights and annotations with @readwise.bsky.social reader.

Wait wait wait!
@readwise.bsky.social! Y'all haven't even mapped your domain yet!
Decentralization is not about servers. It’s about power.
