I (finally!) wrote about scaling down the Bluesky AppView and how we can get to self-hosting beyond just your PDS in atproto!

In fairness, “you can make millions of individual molecules but there are 13 that you need but can’t make so let’s outsource their production to plants. Also, it’s actually 12…you can make one of the vitamins…as long as the sun’s rays touch your skin like you yourself are a plant” does sound fake.
I’m sorry but vitamins sound fake

The video feeds work pretty nice from what I’ve played with. Enjoying them as a short form alternative. I wish if they popped up in my normal feeds though it wouldn’t auto play with sound on.

I had never read the original post, it was interesting in itself. Great reads!
wrote up a reply to @dustyweb.bsky.social's "How decentralized is Bluesky really" blog post
Reply on Bluesky and Decentralization | bryan newbold
This is a reply to Christine Lemmer-Webber's thoughtful (and widely read) "How decentralized is Bluesky really?" blog post.
I am so happy and grateful that Christine took the time to write up her tho...

Wanted to experiment with a PDS, was easy enough to set up.
Went to migrate data from old to new pds. I was not ready for this 😂

i wonder if diagrams like these might help draw the distinction between ActivityPub (and how Mastodon uses it) and AT Protocol (and how it’s used by Bluesky and atproto apps)?
with AP, instance = application + hosting. data gets sent between instances.
with AT, data flows *from* hosting *to* apps

The data from UC Davis, where Dr Mitloehner put cows in tents to measure emissions, puts the methane emissions of cows at 220lbs per year. When it breaks down it yields 604lbs CO2 per cow per year. One round trip flight NYC to London? 3400lbs of CO2.

While driving past a tattoo shop I asked my kids what's the best tattoo parlor in the Star Wars universe (ready to wow them with TATTOOine's) and my daughter silenced me with Jar Jar Inks.
