ATmosphere Report #140 - its still all politics Comparing the Dutch election results with how active politicians are on Bluesky

for this week's atproto news I'm comparing todays Dutch election result with how active the politicians are on Bluesky

and in other news:
- GreenEarth is building personalised algos on atproto, with 300k in funding
- more interop between publishing platforms
- polls on leaflet

I love Clifton’s Cafeteria in LA and I had no idea the founder was so bad ass.

happy to see Danny Woodburn in the new Witcher season as Zoltan — at one point he lapses into the exact same tone as Mickey yelling at Kramer

yeah, I think the fix for this will involve changing how we sniff mimetypes in general

Happy Birthday @pdsls.dev

Introduction | Blacksky Documentation

Hi! It's your favorite Community Safety & Support Steward @ Blacksky! We recently updated our docs.blacksky.community website with new documents based on your feedback via Blacksky People's Assembly. This thread has the latest drops -- Blacksky Community Guidelines & Blacksky Moderation and Labeler!

video upscaling is a perfectly good use of AI but it will look terrible if they try to go from a standard definition source to 1080p+ — can get a much more convincing result from AI upscaling to 720p or so and then adding a shader grain pass from there

same resolution but dramatically different bitrate (streaming is usually ~10mbit at most, a bluray will be more like 50, most scene encodes will split the difference down to like 20)

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works and let me know if you have any questions! 🤗

ONE of these two new features: canvas pages in publications!

This works mostly the same as in standalone leaflet docs, but in published posts, canvas now has quotes / comments too!

Need to test more; give it a try & reply with any examples you make :) WIP: publishing standalone docs & canvases!

yeah this is a first :(

I also traveled *a lot* for work this year and did not get sick a single time until last week, so I can't even really complain

it's actually less bad than it sounds and I had it coming after being home something like 3 nights in a 3 week stretch this month (worked out that way with the job switch) but I'm a very impatient sick person and my immune system is using up everything in the cupboards at this point

if you've never had a sinus infection spread into your eyes after a week before I don't recommend it

@chadtmiller.com/goose A Gleam WebSocket consumer for AT Protocol Jetstream events.

I present to you, goose. A gleam jetstream client for #atproto unlocking the atmosphere on BEAM.

well, this is the best way to ask for inclusion, so I’ll put it on the list :)

assuming you could write some horrible dithering algorithm to render netflix down to like 240i and 512 colors, naturally

Sega Channel - Wikipedia

I wonder what the oldest console is that you could feasibly ship a netflix cartridge for en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Ch...

Did you know you can search Bluesky user bios for specific keywords or phrases? Just go to your preferred search engine and type in: site:bsky.app/profile/ "keyword"

incredible news

this is coming as part of an ATProto docs rewrite currently in progress -- expect it next month!

when something’s happening i want to be in the room, in the comments. sometimes the replies are better than the feed. when i’m at an event i want a feed with everyone there for the takes and the tea. testing this with starter packs—reply where you’d want to try it and i’ll dm you.

OAuth scopes in AT, btw, *will* be released this year (OAuth in BSky is TBD)

Protocol Check-in (Fall 2025) | Bluesky We last shared a protocol roadmap back in March 2025, and wow does time fly. If we're being honest, we haven't tied a bow on as many of these threads as we would've hoped. Oh time, strength, cash, and...

Thanks for pinging about this!

We've been providing updates in our quarterly Protocol Check-ins (docs.bsky.app/blog/protoco...)

And recently added some Cookbook examples (github.com/bluesky-soci...) with suggested OAuth patterns.

We don't exact timelines for OAuth in BSky -- hopefully this year!

yeah you gotta take it up from Union and then walk down to Chinatown
