Do you have opinions on banner image aspect ratios? Drop into this thread by @tynanpurdy.com on changing the current 16:9 to 3:1.

Yeah, using 3:1 sounds super reasonable.

Just released a new feature for social link sharing from OpenMeet groups and events. If you're interested in an opensource Meetup.com alternative that integrates with #ATprotocol find us at platform.openmeet.net/groups/openm...
OpenMeet Guides
OpenMeet Guides is a group of early adopters for OpenMeet. OpenMeet is a Meetup.com free alternative. If you're tired of paying to host your small meetups, create a group or host one-time events

Big update to Smoke Signal just dropped! We've redesigned event pages, added ATProtocol facets support, cryptographic RSVPs, private content controls, and AI agent integration.

Because you can "just do things", there is a new website…

atbox.dev

This is the same idea as this command line tool: github.com/substrate-sy...

That is, it is a way to update your DID document.

Especially infuriating and demoralizing to have partners who have been furloughed for 40+ days for nothing. nothing.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

In the swing dance community there's the term "swung over" which describes being sick, exhausted, or somewhere in-between after a swing dance weekend, usually implying you're coming down with something.

What's the ATProtocol / IETF equivalent? Conference cough? Con crud?
