I only understand half of what osprey is, and it's one of the most impressive things I've seen recently.

I truly think this is a game changer for moderating content on the atmosphere and is such an amazing thing to have open sourced

Open sourcing Osprey was an adventure! @discord.com is now powered by the open source community version of Osprey. Read about how Osprey works and what makes a rules engine for fighting abuse powerful:

Erlend did a pretty good job responding to the “Be wary of Bluesky” article, but I’ll add a couple of other comments
Erlend Sogge Heggen @erlend.sh
Some of these are fair criticisms (a hundred million in VC funding is always gonna be a huge liability) but many parts of your argument are actively becoming outdated.

I’ll list a few, but also your threat model is off. Acquired platforms don’t close down overnight. There’s always a window of exit.
Remember friends, being decentralized is just the stepping stone. Being distributed is the endgame.
atproto *personal* data has a ton of potential.

this is stuff backed up and synchronized between devices, but not shared with others. personal notes and annotations, sure.

what about all your photos? health data? laptop backups? lots of questions for PDS ops.
honestly i think a significant part of this is because it was actually kind of impossible to figure out how to use them because the official documentation was barely there.

very thankful

Interestingly, a majority of respondents who have tried form actions don’t have an opinion about them. More than half in this group did not pick a positive/negative sentiment.

My hunch is that it’s because most of these respondents have barely used them, not enough to form an opinion.

there's now so many cards in blento.app that even i sometimes forget some of them, so here's a thread with all the atmosphere cards so far (in no particular order):

(i'll do a thread with all the non-atmosphere cards some other day)
This is exactly one of the findings of the study* on tabbed browsing I did ~15 yrs ago — tab usage is bimodal. Funny to see that it (anecdotally at least) still holds up!

HTTP caused a massive shift, challenging AOL’s walled garden & opening the early web.

@flipboard.com CEO Mike McCue explains why open protocols matter, how they’re often resisted at first, & how they reshape the web, similar to the shift social media is facing now.

One of the most impressive things about this ecosystem is that it allows for people to innovate and create tools we all want before even Bluesky creates them.

This is so cool — we added notifications when someone links one of your Bluesky posts in Leaflet, and…

@drearicheli.bsky.social linked one of *our* Bluesky posts in this great post with Leaflet feature suggestions:

drearicheli.blog/3mdgnp5dp622y

…so we saw it, and can reply here + on the post!

Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable.
HMRC / GOV.uk developers are saints.

Good ol' multi-page accessible HTML forms. No front-end bullshit. No "developer experience" blocking my progress. No design dribbbled with a 10px grey-on-grey font.
a few months ago i had the immense privilege to speak about Websites at @webdevconf.com in Bristol — i've taken some time to improve on these ideas and build a permanent online home for the essay, which i intend to grow and improve over time 🤍
