Owen on #caturday. Not at all embarrassed.

NOOOOOO!!!! El Sapo Cuban Social Club in Downtown Silver Spring Closing Permanently This Weekend www.sourceofthespring.com/silver-sprin...

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

I was going to like this but I reskeeted instead.

Am I colorblind? Silver Spring Farmers Market.

My admin take is that the actual key to success of a sm platform is natural sciences ppl because there's no other field where in one short conversation with an expert you learn 10 new things about things you thought you already knew thats as easily demonstrable in 280 characters and a couple images

I attended a meetup in Seattle and got to spend time with @bnewbold.net and @pfrazee.com from the Bluesky engineering team. I walked away with an understanding of the role DIDs and PDSs play in the grand scheme of things, and why the most exciting work sits higher up the stack. I almost unretired.

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

We’re headed towards a set of Trump speech regulations where big centralized platforms only get to exist if they tweak their algos to favor those in power - which makes the overall success of federated networks like Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon very important. Don’t miss the forest for the trees!

It would be really nice to be able to click on a starter pack and instead of just doing “follow all”, turn it instantly into a pinned feed
