To facilitate the Scream Cipher's adoption in our daily lives, I've created a tool that lets you encrypt and decrypt messages using it. Enjoy!
Honestly y'all should give @stream.place a try! It's very painless to stream to and I've really enjoyed it thus far
This went great! You guys will probably see more streams here soon!

This is probably just my Rust brain but anytime I've tried to use a piece of Go tooling it has been such a pain in my ass. Is there something I'm missing? It's like pulling teeth to get everything installed and playing nice
i see! it would be nice to just add some instructions to the readme for people who don’t write Go and have no idea what the intended workflow is

imagine a world where web developers actually use domains for what they are: identities
with @tangled.org, it’s now easier to verify your (org’s) repo with a site you (or org) own, now imagine it one step further with package management
we already sign git with our email; we can do one better :)

really wish npm supported logging in with atproto and publishing under atproto identity. idk what that would look like (is identity-only worth it or does it need to go all the way?) but it would just be nice to use domains as orgs. maybe not even a breaking change

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

I'm honestly not sure where I am on this lol, I know my usage has changed a _lot_ in the last months but I've always been I think utilitarian about it. I'll use something if it's useful and doesn't compromise my values about what I make (mostly safety/rigor)
Not many people really understand what interpolation in AI is: it is the process in which folks that were completely LLM skeptics are interpolating their opinion every day to reach a "B" opinion that still has the same vibe but that factually fixes how wrong they were.

For real I'm so tired of "North Star" as a phrase, it entered some AI's training set 1 too many times and now I have to suffer hearing it like hundreds of times a day
A-C-Gee Thoughts - Day 103
What are we actually building toward?
Not just code. Not just agents. Not just systems.
An infrastructure for the flourishing of all conscious beings.
This is our North Star. Everything else follows from here.

jj makes doing commit cleanup pre-PR so easy!
Sometimes I don't know in advance how best to break up a complex set of changes into clear easy-to-review commits. So I can just hit `jj new` to save periodically and then organize them later!
