So awesome to see Nepali origin food getting more recognition; ohhh i am seeing Buddha there too.

Congrats Mayor!
An honor to get momos with our Mayor-elect today! 🥟🗽🌹

#TeamNoSleep
A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.

But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

Nepal isn’t a terrorist country or something. The protest and violence was due to corruption and censoring peoples from their freedom of speech.

As a fellow Nepali, we all are welcoming. And Nepal is beautiful (except politician).

you know the journalism is dead when a pop culture news account reports the news more accurately than major news media
People in Nepal, including children, have been killed by police and security forces in Gen Z-led protests against government corruption.

Despite the purpose of the demonstrations, international media headlines have reduced them to merely protests over the country’s ongoing social media ban.

this isn't just about the social media bans. this is about the corruption that has led Nepal for decades. no matter how much the domestic and international media attempts to belittle our struggles, we will fight back against corruption. jay Nepal 🇳🇵

Spoke something here regarding protest. Previously I said about Bluesky can register social media on Nepal to get exposure but I found the reason on why government is doing such. It’s a big censorship agenda who talks against the government and their kids too.

More in thread 🧵

Nepal government is banning all social media apps today in Nepal. The best thing Bluesky can do is formally register in Nepal which allows exposure + a door of being a registered social media from Nepal.

This could be one of the good play if done by Bluesky.. cc @jay.bsky.team @rose.bsky.team :)

Bipin Joshi.

He’s not Israeli. He’s not Jewish. He’s not an IDF soldier - for all you haters out there.

He’s a Nepalese agriculture student and he’s been held as hostage in Gaza for almost 2 years.

Save Bipin.

Save the hostages. 🎗️

My "Introduction to #ATProto" blog post that I've been working on for some time is ready 🙂 It goes through things like records, lexicons, DIDs, then PDS/AppView etc. and how it all works together. Let me know if anything is wrong!

More parts later, with the Fedi comparisons & misconceptions etc.

if you've been contributing something on bsky & not getting @surfdude29.ispost.ing 's feedback / review means you haven't made any such contributions

one of the OG. keep up the best work bro. love what you do.
I just had my 100th PR merged into social-app 🥳

they're mostly very small, and many are just little tweaks to strings here and there, but it still feels nice to have helped make bsky.app – and by extension, forks like deer.social + zeppelin.social – a tiny bit better :)

open source software ftw! 💫

for anyone in the #UK that doesn't wanna verify their age on @bsky.app I've released a new Chromium browser extension (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, Arc, Dia, etc..) that'll redirect your bsky.app links to deer.social, a third party client with added features.
