Kicking off a new series today! I will be going Beyond the Statushphere demo with tips and common gotchas when developing applications on ATProto.
First up is why and how you can get a user's PDS's URL to use in your applications you build.

Really good ATProto explanatory thread (in the comments of a fantastic blog post about it)
it's a bit confusing because the roles are conflated in practice (e.g. Bluesky company currently acts as both one of the hosting providers and one of the apps). but these are two separate roles. in that sense you can imagine it closer to having a Dropbox with all of your JSON, and separately apps

The “google is using your email to train AI” debacle is imo most instructively seen as tracer dye for multiple failures: many people are instinctively skeptical of tech companies now; and many outlets that should have had experts able to cogently weigh in and go “wait a minute” simply don’t anymore.

since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.
I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

“lazy use of unwrap blew up a process and took out the internet” bzzt. wrong. judicious use of unwrap blew up a process instead of allowing an Extremely Named CVE to happen and spraying your bank account credentials all over the public internet
People want a technical solution to what is ultimately a judgement problem.
People know that unwrap can cause a panic. That's the choice that's being made when you unwrap. Changing the name won't change that.

The disingenuous whiners at the Seattle Times ed board actually suggested that Katie Wilson—mayor-elect and the founder of the Transit Riders Union (who used to do outreach at the bus stop on Third and Union)—doesn't know that the county, not the city, runs the buses. Cry harder, losers
