GitHub - MasterJ93/ATProtoKit at 0.32.0
A straightforward solution for using the AT Protocol and Bluesky, written in Swift. - GitHub - MasterJ93/ATProtoKit at 0.32.0
github.com
My #Swiftlang #ATProto API library, ATProtoKit, has been updated to version 0.32.0.
This ended up becoming a much smaller update than originally intended. It’s now been reduced to some tweaks and removals, such as adding new public initializers, as well as removing ATMacro.

One way Autistic people can be misunderstood is when we’re trying to be very thoughtful w/ our words under stress
Some of us stumble
Some of us go blank
Some of us have scripts locked & ready to go
we don’t want to be misunderstood
They can misinterpret our thoughtfulness with intent to deceive

The frosted glass option on iOS 26 and macOS 26 feels… weird. I think I’m going back to the clear one. I did advocate for frosted glass in the past, but after seeing it, I admit I was wrong. Clear all the way. 🤣

I see that the lexicons have been updated once again. I'll try to get ATProtoKit updated with the latest changes within 24 hours or so.

For a long time, I thought that the furry community would eventually make a system where they have electronically controlled tails, and it would move depending on their thoughts. Think, a device that monitors your brainwaves.

Update on ATProtoKit. This is going to take some time for explaining.
(And I'm still working on OAuth and the lexicon generator: don't worry.)

Sportsnet+ costing $24.99 CAD just so that I can watch ONE GAME of the Blue Jays for a month is highway robbery.
No, Rogers, I don't want to watch hockey, basketball, or whatever else right now: I want to witness [this last/these last two] games. 😡

What happens if Substack continues with their lock-in of writers, but other platforms on the open social web can offer better distribution and discovery?

I am SO glad I halted work on this for now, as that thing is confusing as hell, and I'd probably have cold sweat if I went deep into the weeds of this like I am now with the OAuth stuff...
for folks working with the PLC identity system:
we are planning to remove a set of non-compliant operations from the directory, which should make it easier to implement replicas and audits. these are predominantly test operations created by security researchers.

I'm sorry for not talking about ATProtoKit for the past several days. I've been working on some other projects and this has slowed down my progress with the ATProtoKit Project to an embarrassing degree.
Please bare with me for another few days.

I didn't pay attention to last night's Blue Jays game, but to hear that they won makes me really happy and gives me some confidence... but I'm also still really worried something bad will happen.
Let's hope I'm worrying for nothing.

After 32 freaking YEARS (or I think that's the last time they did this: I don't remember the number)!
You BETTER not mess this up, Blue Jays.

I feel like, even though I plan to (eventually) have a PDS completely written in Swift, I wouldn't be able to fully migrate until I'm absolutely positive I didn't break anything. Because I don't want to break anything.
That thing will be tested to hell and back before I migrate to it.
