I wish my PDS had a put-record-intent endpoint. I just want to have an endpoint that I can link or submit a form body to that presented a big "Do you want to write this record?" question block that a user could click "OK" or "Nah" to with the highlighted JSON record in question.

Making bookings in Canadian dollars is stressful because the exchange rate makes everything look so expensive 😅

Awesome: my presentation at #AtmosphereConf has been accepted! (And they're even paying for my flight 🙇‍♂️)

I'll be talking about the various challenges I encountered when translating Bluesky into French... and those that still lie ahead!

I can't wait to meet the whole ATProto community in person 🥳
Incroyable : ma présentation à la #AtmosphereConf a été acceptée ! (et ils me paient même l’avion 🙇‍♂️)

J’y parlerai des différents défis que j’ai rencontré lors de la traduction de Bluesky en français… et ceux qui restent encore devant nous !

Hâte de rencontrer toute la communauté ATProto en vrai 🥳

My talk on Skywatch for #AtmosphereConf got accepted! Looking forward to what I've learned about community moderation on after two years of Skywatch. If there's anything in particular you'd like me to focus on, please let me know!

Send me your Vancouver food and drink recommendations too!

As people do more planning about traveling to the conference, we’ll remind everyone of the Conf hotel info discourse.atprotocol.community/t/conference...

We’ll be emailing everyone with registered tickets so far a reminder about this.

And yes, still notifying people about talk acceptance!
