A year ago nobody knew how to do a migration. Today everyone’s got a cousin who’s running a PDS they can hop on when things go south.
🥇🥈🥉 Top 10 open & community PDSes right now (unless I'm missing any, then let me know!)
(the numbers might not always be up to date, especially since my scanning script is kinda broken rn, but I ran it manually now)

Tbh, I want a Zelda movie that has Zelda switching between Shiek and Zelda and straight murking folks.

people want a Zelda movie to be "what if Ocarina of Time was LotR" when what it should be is an 80-minute anime OVA released in the early 90's with the weirdest plot you've ever seen and at least one original character who was so endearing that it physically hurts they aren't in any of the games

Just over 2 months ago invites were sent out to welcome users to Northsky who used our migration tool to migrate. Throughout hundreds of migrations we've been fixing bugs and improving UX for a smoother experience to the point that we're now ready to release the source as we always intended.

I agree with sporks space design decisions for a new chat platform - federation is a misfeature for hosted chat platforms (use SSO), E2EE is a misfeature for public channels (use apps built for E2EE), voice chats are a space not an event (drop in not scheduled).

Here’s a little background on why we’re building u-haul.
I should have published something sooner so that people don’t have to speculate on the reasons, but we’re all wearing 5 hats these days at @eurosky.social and there is just too much stuff to do in parallel.

Anyone literate in Arabic willing to volunteer some time doing basic transcription of images? I need to redo a bunch of graphics for Napata and I’m unfortunately illiterate and will not use a llm for this.
I’ve got a spreadsheet prepared with everything.

I’ve got cousins who are getting flyers from the uni on what to do if ICE shows up, a parent who works right by the ICE office telling me about vans coming and going and family scattered because everyone wants to control the port of Sudan.
Sometimes the work feels like nothing because of this.

Our cooperative member @ripperoni.com stood up a pronoun labeler after a popular community one shut down.
We have a different long-term solution in mind for our App, but this is a great solution for now!

When questioned Gollum will state he was just there for the fresh fish and wasn’t aware what happened on the estate.
At the current rate, by the end of the year the UK will go through over 50 prime ministers, each one worse than the last, until the last one is literally just Gollum devouring raw fish in an abandoned coal mine under Wales. He will also be in the Epstein files.

I always forgot one thing when traveling, usually a power brick or toothbrush. Figured out while on the train that it was the passport.

Black folks in tech are a beautiful sight
Mom taught me not to say 'please' because then you have to say 'thank you', and we don't say 'thank you', we say 'fuck you'
Imagine begging Bluesky for features, having your PRs sitting unmerged and ignored for months, and then turning around and saying that EYEEE am the centralizing influence around here.

Just a quick update—you can now set your pronouns in Catbird!
These are a part of your Bluesky profile record and will be visible across all clients that support the field.
