Ohh, I’ll check it out

Yeah it was. I'm all for some solid sci-fi psych thrillers. I would put the Murderbot series in that bucket. 😁

... good being relative, obvs.

I'm disappointed with recent dystopian fiction. "The Ministry of the Future" and "Fall" and others ... Blockchain? Singularity? AI?

They focus on tech, not humanity. The joy (uhhh?) of 1984 and F451 isn't the technology, it's the psychology.

What's a good, modern, human centric, dystopian fiction?

For those who’ve just stumbled over here (welcome and thank you!) mostly I work in three dimensions…work in progress, destined for bronze and silver casting #InverteFest

A photo of a snail basking in the morning sunlight. Do snails bask? I have no idea. I like to think this little one was enjoying itself.

Touched some grass. Felt good. 😊

i hope more people realize that @graze.social + @bsky.app is a form of monetization that has never existed before in the history of social media

This is what it looks like when you take control of the attention economy and give that power to the community. We can change how monetization works online to build a better future here.

It was great to meet everyone, and I'm hyped that we made so many new connections!

We'll have another meet up next month, and I think we'll find a space with a projector where we can do demos and maybe a lightning talk.

This space is moving incredibly fast, and there's so much to learn ...

Come to the next one! We'll do one next month too. I'll post announcements ...

@emilyliu.me makes a great point in her talk (43m mark) - this is the first time *ever* that media orgs can *own* the relationship with their audiences via custom feeds. We are building out the tools that will unlock this – just ask @sfstandard.com, @wweek.com, and @timesca.com. Come join us!

Let’s get a pint sometime when we’re both in town. 😊

His friends have a chance to have a very funny weekend.

👋 Hey Portland folks! I'm putting together a casual, family friendly Bluesky/AT Proto meetup next Tuesday (April 15th). I'd love to see you there!

Heck yeah, in before 1000 🎉

That's whats up

How long, and how many …

This is the AT Proto introduction post I’ve been waiting for. ❤️

With BlueSky finally opening up federation, I think it's time to write up something that explains the whole thing, BlueSky, atproto, the works, in one easy to find place. Just the high level bits, hopefully something that any developer can understand: steveklabnik.com/writing/how-...
