No worries, even though I did misinterpret your intention a bit, I still did see it more as an extension/pivot of the conversation rather than an attempted dunk - I know microblogging has only very few ways to model complex conversations.
Certainly under no illusions of it being a magic bullet or guaranteed overnight success or even "why didn't anyone think of this before."
Atproto provides a good testbed for trying stuff out, at least technically. And even if one doesn't have wsocial/nextcloud type connection/funding, small towns & local biz use weird stuff from local designers. One could make a dent - even just adding the atproto plugin to their wordpress deployment
No I hear you and don't think you sound (overly) jaded. Just experienced lol. Lots of tech folks end up in spaces as tourists thinking they can easily solve problems that don't quite exist or that look much different from the inside than the outside.
Maybe some day! I've been starting and stalling out on atproto projects for almost exactly 1 year now lol. I've just picked a very simple one back up this week, so let's see if I can see that through first.
A nice little platform targeted at municipal orgs like town governments, libraries, schools, etc would go hard. Publish info on standardsite compatible pages, share it with your community via bsky posts, link them to atmorsvp events. The primitives are all there. I'm sure someone's working on it.
Any community being able to use atproto primitives to self-organize collaborative and democratic experiences around an event, and to have that experience be multi-modal between [microblogging app] and elsewhere. This is big stuff, whatever you might've thought about building feeds before.
Frankly this is one of the most exciting things happening in the open social web right now and I'm pleased to be able to play even a small part in it by volunteering to suggest posts for my state's feed.
Most improved game with the analogue sticks imo is Buggy on Gremlin 2. The controls are like a classic RC car controller. Still not a great game lol, but at least it's fun with analogue.
Played a couple hours of Banjo-Kazooie on my Evercade Nexus this evening. Lovely little device so far, but reserving full judgement until I've played a few other types of games.
A shot for shot remake of the first f couple Halloween movies, but Michael Myers is replaced by Nathan Fielder.
It is no longer possible to "get you one" of the Doom limited edition Nexuses. But you should consider getting you one of the regular editions. Plays Doom just as well. Well presumably. I'll know for sure in a few days hopefully.
Still running _waaay_ behind on my Evercade cart reviews, but I'm glad I finally got my Roguecraft DX review out cause I have a lot to say about this game. https://norm.likes.games/a/3myblvwna3x23-roguecraft-dx-review
Props to offprint for the new editor. A real game-changer for mobile editing, which was pretty tough with the old editor.
I described it similarly, but like this. Your point about transparency/access vs truth/honesty are also hugely overarching themes here. I love how this documentary is about so much more than just its subject. mu.social/profile/nrom...
