erlend.sh - Profile | ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

I am uncharacteristically chuffed with how skillfully the lovely folks at the @igalia.com Chats podcast were able edit my incoherent ramblings to make me sound like someone who's been working towards decentralization for 5 years and knows a thing or two. www.igalia.com/chats/vcs

would be great if a riseup.net style org ran an atproto PDS with relatively open signup. gives a lot of additional privacy protections to end users.

Rather than being resigned to a story of "company as a future adversary" (no judgement; plz read the article) we can utilize the framework of steward-ownership to reify our vision for "company as a future commons". blog.muni.town/company-as-c... This is how @roomy.chat will work as a company.

We've published six pages at Unbreaking.org now, about what's happening in six quite different areas of American life as a result of Trump admin and congressional actions: Equality in the Workplace, Food Safety, Medicaid, Medical Research Funding, the Postal Service, and Trans Healthcare.

this is a pretty fun project! it is basically a decentralized WordPress plugin package manager, using DID PLC as an identifier and store for package signing keys; and atproto for discovery/indexing of plugins in the ecosystem. github.com/fairpm/fair-...

Roomy alpha-3 is out! blog.muni.town/roomy-chat-a... While there are lots of additions inside, it's sorta an intermediary release as we're still finishing up a significant backend transition, but this was a good opportunity to talk a bit about how @roomy.chat relates to its sibling project Weird.

fresh atproto proposal! this one is for the oauth, app architecture, and security folks: github.com/bluesky-soci... here we're defying the labels of traditionally "public" vs "confidential" oauth clients, and challenging assumptions about what it means to be a browser-based app. 1/8

Sync engines are an incremental improvement to the "centralised server + client" model - the minimal possible step towards the real-time nature of apps today. But we can do much better 🧵

オープンソースのDeepWiki。プライベートリポジトリに対して使えるし、日本語でwiki作ってくれるぽい。 github.com/AsyncFuncAI/...

Discovered an open source alternative to DeepWiki recently, made by @sashimikun-void.bsky.social & friends. I believe that app archetype is an outstanding use case for ‘version-control everything, so your AI-agent can’t break anything or make a mess’. Chime in here: github.com/AsyncFuncAI/...

personal update: today is my last day with the Bluesky team! this is bittersweet news to share, but the great thing about an open network is you never really have to leave. I’ll be rooting for Bluesky and atproto from the outside 🫡💙

What a lot of people don’t seem to get is that there can be no Last And Perfect form of open source, free-software licensing. See, it only takes them at best 5-10 years to figure out all the best workarounds, and then it’s business as usual. Continuous evolution is paramount for labor licensing.

Anyone still active on X is effectively continuing to associate with a man who is no different than your average despot. He will be remembered among the worst of them. To my friends who’ve yet to leave, I implore you: Stop empowering this vicious man. The Tesla boycott hurt him. So can a waning X.
