Oh yeah! Today is the beginning of meeting roulette!
BC (where I am) has not changed it's time. Europe / UK has now fallen back as of yesterday. So +8 / +7 from BC.
And this coming weekend is North American time change. Where BC will be an hour ahead of PT.
My brain hurts already.

Yeah I don’t love that this is wedged into bsky post records and rendered client side.
It “works” but immediately will beg for … longer posts.
Making this a eurosky .codeblock post and attaching it … well, it’s as much work as building tangled strings.
Inline tangled string creation maybe?

The @getdweb.net@bsky.brid.gy #DWebCamp email updates are lovely scenes of past camps.
I wasn't at this one (I think it's 2023 edition?) but you can probably recognize a few people in it.

That is sort of @beaconbits.app@bsky.brid.gy @dropanchor.app@bsky.brid.gy which you can use now.
Lots of work on geo this year.
We have a lexicon for geo data and have in progress work to have a lookup for Foursquare open data info.
Private data really needed for a bunch of larger usage of this.

The 2026 #ATmosphereConf is aiming to be about 2x this year.
If we hit 350-500, then year after 2027 will be roughly double and we need to start planning a year ahead to secure venues.
And! Start planning your 2026 regional confs too!
We’re growing and need to plan for it!

Rudy’s speaker image and talk title???
Which also says “Decentralized Era” not “AT Protocol is Decentralized”

2025-03-17 15:46:53 UTC

You’re replying to Rudy who built Blacksky as well as a Rust implementation rsky of #atproto
We’ve all read Christine & Bryan’s posts and the community is working on making more relays or alternate approaches for sharing subsets of content.

2025-03-01 17:05:56 UTC

Dear Instagram clones on #atproto:
An adoption / growth strategy could be to run imports of Instagram exports.
LMK when I can pay you for this feature.
Open source scripts I can run myself also gladly accepted 😄

I have discovered Yaka Mein, a “a type of beef noodle soup found in many Creole restaurants in New Orleans”.
The photo on the Wikipedia page isn’t great. Looking around, I’ve seen home versions with instant ramen / beef broth / steak on top. Huh. Interesting!

Hanging out with @pouriade.com & @wesleyfinck.org and dreaming up #atproto things
So, uh, what about a theming lexicon, like design .atskins . ouranos, where we can store CSS to apply to our favourite clients.

2024-09-19 05:55:16 UTC

It would be super awkward if I liked more than one open social protocol.

Sometimes you just have to cook a big bowl of pasta for lunch.
1 onion, 2 cloves garlic, olive oil, 2 yellow squash (chopped), 1/2 cup stuffed olives, can of diced tomatoes, 2 Tbsp Calabrian pickled eggplant, tsp chicken bouillon, salt & pepper, 1 Tbsp marjoram
