Swapped over my little starter atproto project to the new library this evening. Nice way to reinforce my learning. End result looks+feels better, too - tho that may just be cause I know wtf I'm looking at now. I'm sure there's still rough edges for people building Real Projects, but I'm happy. 👍

Okay I think I've got a handle on the basic mechanics of atproto apps. But I've decided to learn nextjs right alongside it because I can't just let things be easy so that'll be a little while yet.

Did my @anisota.net #harvest Really gotta get those posting numbers up next year, this is embarrassing. Started off 2025 with good intentions but spent most of my energy on unhinged blog posts so I didn't have any time left for unhinged microblog posts. Lesson learned. anisota.net/harvest

Anyway, Kagi continuing to walk the walk as far as their AI Philosophy goes is very heartening to me as a subscriber. help.kagi.com/kagi/why-kag...

I think "AI art" folks object to implying all such images are "slop." I don't share that objection, but maybe this should have avoided things clearly meant to be art and focused more on misleading/manipulative images. Although, getting good at identifying the former helps you identify the latter.

Some folks are saying that it's worthless without context, but lack of context is part of the point I think. Did Julius Caesar carve his reflections into his shields? Better check a reliable source rather than assuming.

Critical thinking and info/media literacy becomes more important as convincing but wrong or misleading stuff becomes more common. This is a cool experiment for one part of that equation. Worth checking out and maybe going through with a child in your life.

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.
