Larger question I have: HOW MUCH venture capital technology and companies were involved in this, including Palantir? They have tons of weapons, security, drone, satellite imaging, surveillance + intelligence firms like Palantir

“My conclusion so far after this really great discussion: We need to stop leaning on licenses almost entirely, and refocus our attention on collective power and collective action.”
So I had some great discussions about FOSS and "Community Software" stuff aka wtf do we do about the shitheads doing evil with our stuff and wrote up some initial thoughts on direction: toot.cat/@zkat/115852...

Please feel free to share your thoughts! Hooray collective action etc

The fact that the US has banned central bank digital currency for individuals while banks can use equivalent systems is a quintessential example of trickle-down computing.

The PDS is more than a server storing data, it's a shared, observable CMS for a plurality of internet content. Currently atproto apps are our gateway into authoring, aggregating, and interacting with different content, but atproto (hopefully) removes their monopoly on being all of these at once.

bring back MySpace pages
now imagine if the bluesky pds included a tool for easily putting up a site on your handle, and it did this automatically, and it integrated well with leaflet or something

The moment the intelligence moves out of the act of using the brick to build and into a service layer, it stops being a construction system and becomes a compliance surface with telemetry.
LEGO embedding proprietary electronics into sets is a deeper move than cranking out adult nostalgia bait. It begins to change play into a gated ecosystem, pushing further into being a platform with hardware lock-in. Those Mario sets were proof of concept.

Embedding bluesky posts via embed.bsky.app/static/embed... is unnecessarily more complicated than it needs to be, gonna simplify it.

hot take but what's the point of having a shared lexicon set if there is no interoperability whatsoever among different platforms displaying said document

I wish we had more fleshed out definitions of what it means to own and control data. The local-first manifesto does a poor job of defining it, even though it's a core premise. I think such ambiguity leads to local-first software conflating "data being on your computer" with ownership.

happy new year bluesky!!

i made a recap of everything i made in 2025

thank you to everyone who ive met along the way-every comment, share, and message has meant the world to me

here's to a prolific 2026 for all of us

If this was a HTML lexicon, similar to [HAST](github.com/syntax-tree/...) it would be trivial to render as a website. You wouldn’t have to recreate the leaflet renderer block by block.
Just need to add support for images and bluesky posts

As Japan welcomes January 1, 2026, I've compiled some ideas for creating a space where researchers and engineers can collaborate in exploring my interest in ATmosphere.

A continuation of past statements on macOS, and a little more doom and gloom.

Coming next will be some more cheerful ideas... like a deep dive on ATProto Repositories!

Time for my big year end blogpost about the Atmosphere.

From the personal computing perspective, the cloud has been a disaster — but we shouldn't run away from it.

We can solve a lot of problems by connecting our clouds, turning it into atmospheric computing.
Atmospheric Computing
Cloud computing has been extremely successful, but it lost the values that drove personal computing. We can solve this by evolving forward.

Here's a little spatial / tangible tool I made to explore an algorithm with my hands and eyes.

I saw an error diffusion matrix on wikipedia and it looked vaguely like a circle, so I built this board game-inspired tool to feel out just how spatial it actually was.
