Why are people so dead set on needing an edit button? Like it takes 5 seconds to repost or proofread before posting?

Everyone acts like the site is unusable without it

I need something that self destructs my phone if I ever try to click into an @bsky.app update post to read the comments. Nothing but pain and suffering to be found in there.

How is it possible for a person to have never heard about Rick Rolling until 2026? This person is literally a millennial too

Went through and mapped all the speakers based on the schedule on the AtmosphereConf site last night. There’s a few missing (like opening/ closing remarks). If you know who the speaker(s) were for the talks missing linked speakers, feel free to send my way and I’ll get them added.

Have I ever built a front end? No. Am I giving it a try anyway? Yes.

vods.ajbird.net

So far it functionally works (mostly sorta kinda) but haven’t started trying to make it look better yet.

We’ll see where this goes 😅

Streamplace @stream.place
AtmosphereConf 2026 is a wrap! We hope all the remote attendees had a great Streamplace experience.

When VODs, you ask? They're actually up right now! They're `place.stream.video` records in this repo.

One catch: no frontend yet. That's where you come in.

Welcome to the Streamplace VOD JAM.

Okay folks I've responded to the data center heat island paper. It is the worst study on AI and the environment I've ever read, by far. Thank you to @beijingpalmer.bsky.social for flagging. blog.andymasley.com/p/data-cente...

First time growing tulips has been going pretty well, even with them blooming a bit earlier than expected given all the recent warm weather. 🌱

Bought an HP T630 off eBay to add to my homelab set up so I don’t have to run the main pc 24/7 and I’ve just realized it conveniently could host my pds 👀

respectfully wtf because we’re still over a month out from our last frost date and it literally snowed just a few days ago.

making me run the heat and the AC in the same day is rude

Thank you ChatGPT for all your help, I can’t imagine how this email would’ve turned out without your impeccable feedback.

A brief blog post reminiscing on my early internet experiences on forums, inspired by @malpercio.dev's recent post about his new project atbb, atproto based forums.

I'm finally ready to show off the thing I've been working on: atBB (pre-alpha)!

It's a forum platform built on top of atproto.

I wrote up some thoughts about why I am interested in building forums: pckt.blog/b/mal-s-musi...

I love atproto bc wdym I can post my @leaflet.pub posts to my @bsky.app and then those can show up immediately on my @blento.app AND people can read these posts from any other compatible atproto blogging site like @pckt.blog ???

Forums: My Introduction to The Internet

My first real experiences on the internet were had on forums in the early 2010's. They shaped much of my teenage years and then largely disappeared from my life. With atproto, could they make a comeback?
