I don't work for Bluesky and am in no way affiliated with Bluesky PBC, just FYI! Just a random user who sometimes builds stuff for the platform.
This morning: "Can we have this (major project with a lot of dev work remaining) ready to file by COB?"

Literally an hour later: "Wait n/m there's a new dataset coming out at an indeterminate date so we're holding until then."

Working in a newsroom'll give you whiplash sometimes, stg

Soft launching my Keybase on atproto alpha: @keytrace.dev

Basically the identity verification system from keybase/keyoxide but storing the identity claims on your registry and signing them based on keys in mine.

It is not focused on PGP, but on making it possible for social apps to handle identity

Here's a question. Say a service I've used ATProto OAuth to log into gets compromised, is there any way of revoking OAuth credentials?

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

To put it politely, good goddamn riddance.
McSweeney going is excellent news. It doesn't fix any problems by itself, but it is the precondition for fixing those problems.

So bsky.team, about that pronouns field that's been languishing unused in the profile lexicon for months now...

Good thread
There are a lot of folks in their 20s & 30s who need to learn more about cooking & are making basic errors, so here’s a Cooking Basics 101 thread while I make some refried beans.



Stove dials go between, say, 1 and 10. Use them. Some things need cooking slowly. Some fast. It changes everything.

It's so spectacularly exciting to see @eurosky.social start to come online 💕
We sent the first ~100 invites for @eurosky.social. We might send some more on the weekend, then start sending 100s daily if everything holds up well.

Dear Fallout TV show:

73 minutes for an episode is a 28 too many.
