As someone who started working with atproto stuff for the first time over the weekend, this already looks like it addresses a lot of the confusion I had getting situated initially. Looking forward to getting a little more deeply into it next weekend. 👍
Fired up the statusphere example application finally after looking at it for...entirely too long. 0.001% of the way to making my first atproto app.
While we're at it, I also don't think Bluesky should allow auto-playing videos either. Zoning out and infinite scrolling text is bad enough already without introducing sound and motion into the mix.
I love seeing folks building cool stuff on atproto, but I gotta say I reserve a small amount of judgement for people building tiktok/reels-style "channel surfing" apps. Call me out of touch, but I don't think there is a way to make this model of social media healthy. Moreso than other types, even.
With so many companies sharing so much scammy bs about LLMs, I'm always pleased to see what Kagi is saying. I still worry it's too easy for people to use these tools in unhealthy ways when presented as just a chat box but I'd rather have folks like this designing the future of these experiences.
I swear every time I'm like "I should finish editing my blog post about Kagi this weekend" they launch another cool feature I need to decide whether to work into the current post or save for later.
If you haven't heard of Kagi before or haven't had a chance to try it, this post is a great example of what they're building and why. If it doesn't inspire you to at least give their free trial a chance, well...just do it anyway trust me.
Was just wondering the other day why opening the Patreon app shows me a bunch of bs from creators I don't follow and it's getting more difficult to get to a reverse chronological list of posts from creators I do follow. All part of the master plan to get me to never open the app again, I guess.
FYI to all reality show cast members: that's not what trauma bonding means. You may be trauma bonded with your partner but not in the way you're describing.
Someone gotta tell the dems they can do two things at once. You can advocate for your economic policies without "focusing less on...democracy"(?).

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.
Cuz don't tell anyone but I do have my doubts about microblogging being able to support healthy communication beyond a relatively small scale.
Plus it's clearer and stronger than "interoperability." Even so, it won't matter until it can actually matter. So I'm glad to see things trending that way. Towards interchangeable implementations of microblogging, sure. But also towards building new tools and use-cases on the same protocol.
