I think we should encourage services to publish their ID mappings to ATProto.
IMDB↔TMDB↔Wikipedia…
ISBN↔ASIN↔Goodreads…
ATProto could become a translation layer between *any* systems, not just between lexicons.

This is definitely the sort of thing that I have in mind with book interop. The reality is that with so many data sources for books, that there needs to be some sort of mapping of books, which would need the user to explicitly decide on the mapping.
after a fun chat with @laurenshof.online and @ronentk.me I finally made time to write up some more thoughts about interoperability in the atmosphere without needing to share lexicons!

@danabra.mov have you thought of adding a space to internethandle.org listing all the places where you can register for one?
It could be a great place to point people who want an account; especially from ATProto apps that don’t want to point at BSky for registration.

I’d help fund a global “PDS only” co-op.
- Anyone can sign up
- Provides storage & ATProto handle
- Clear limits for acceptable use
- Shows you list of all the places you can use your new account — after sign up, or at any time (ordered by count of their platform’s ‘profile’ records?)

if you’re right handed you might want to make the rotational force that requires strength the one that’s easy to do
another case where the the dominant side of the world fails to consider that there’s 20% different than them

I'm enjoying quickslices @chadtmiller.com! Do you think there's the potential to have custom validation of records as they're ingested? (Stuff that'd definitely require running some code — in my case it'd be verifying an Ed25519 signature, so non-trivial)

Hey @chadtmiller.com — I just started playing with quickslice on Railway, and couldn't get it to boot until I swapped `DATABASE_URL` from being `/data/quickslice.db` to being `sqlite:/data/quickslice.db`. I think your default is missing the prefix!
Thanks for building this, it's super exciting!

Just had to enter my date of birth online and it pre-selected 2009 as the year.
Putting a date after 2000 as a default should be *illegal* 😂

Youngest just said that there should be a TV show where singers have to rewrite lyrics so it’s unclear who’s doing what, and they could call it The Passive Voice.
I didn’t see it coming, and I’m so proud.

I have no idea how it'd be possible, but if @tangled.org could accept PRs from repos stored *on other forges* (eg. Github, Gitlab, Codeberg) that'd be absolutely _wild_.

I want to see “handicapped play” for political debate where one side is directly impacted by the decision, and the other isn’t, but *is* opinionated.
Something visible, like: always be touching your nose & hopping on one leg if the debate is over school lunches, but you went to a private school.

And yet people HATE when I interview job candidates by bombarding them with ionizing radiation until I have a winner 🙄
I think space RAM (and any circuitry) would be expensive.
(I’ve not worked with “proper computers” in space, but ATTiny equivalents are ~20x in price. They produce the space-worthy ones by taking 20 off the production line and bombarding them with ionising radiation until they have a winner…)

This would be crazy awesome.
Perhaps as a trial project: who wants to build the “CBOR over DVB” protocol?
Buy a cheap TV usb stick and get an ATProto firehose…

How much would it cost to broadcast an atproto relay unencrypted 24/7 from a satellite? Say, 5 Mbps of CBOR
