Folks who know #atproto, I have Qs I still haven’t found answers to and would love any thoughts / opinions you have!
1. Given that most PDSs are hosted by @bsky.app, if an atproto app comes along that gets really popular, does that mean Bluesky is now covering the hosting costs of that app’s data?

You did no fact checking, and I must scream
I'm neither a journalist nor a professional fact checker but, the thing is, it's has never been easier to check basic facts. Yeah, sure, there's a world of misinformation out there, but it doesn't take much effort to determine if something is likely to be true. There are brilliant tools like reverse Image Search which give you a good indicator of when an image first appeared on the web, and…

I've been considering whether to do this for months.
Now that Radiohead tickets are being offered for huge mark-ups on resale sites (as per our story today), I think the time has come.

I need some help!
I’m working on a YouTube video that explores what it would take to build a web app that, if built today, could last 100 years.
It covers tech stack, dev strategies, DX, etc but I need help coming up with a demo.
Any fun ideas for a full stack app meant to live for a century??

I've been bedridden for the last 7 months, unable to work, and now my roommate who was covering rent is having tax issues. I need to raise a few thousand dollars to cover rent and bills for this month, so If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Thanks so much.

40 years ago, I was playing this very cheap and extremely cheerful Mastertronic budget rerelease. A really great game that had split-screen multiplayer - which was still a very new and exciting thing at the time. Really bloody hard too, but that was how it was back then.

The official commentary for the @afcwimbledon1889.bsky.social win over Grimsby closing off with “avoiding a battering, now we’ve got bigger fish to fry” is just one of the many reasons I love this club.

Assassin‘s Creed shadows is an absolute fantastic game. It’s a little repetitive, but so is life. It’s absolutely gorgeous, unbelievably massive, there’s easily 60 hours+ content here, 38 castles, you can literally just walk around just being a ninja and ignore the whole plot if you feel like it
