only 1.6 million new users a month wow what a crisis. somebody call spiderman

Could you give me a big picture overview of your findings?

what have you been manifesting lately?

somebody already commented my funny reply. fuck this app

apparently theres no such thing as an instance &data is stored in the pds &thats why I clearsky myself every time those teens put me on a list

first day on the job, ordering 10k stickers reading „data is stored in the pds“, sending them out to everyone my labeler finds calling an appview an instance. if your post comes through a bridge, you enter a raffle to win a shirt.

not to pitch my out of scope and not protocol specific hobby horse, but: good tools for podcast creators and audiences. everything existing in that space sucks so hard. even just a nice looking catcher supporting audio and text articles across rss and atp could really set the bar higher.

everyday i’m inching closer to applying for the bsky devrel position. but could i bare the breaking of my heart once again?

Things to note here:
- Depending on what you are building, you don’t need a full cache. Backlink aggregators like microcosm are your friend.
- The numbers in your sibling reply seem around what i would expect from a pds of the size.
- Fedi Instance ≠ atp pds/relay/view, these are „micro“services

Yes, that’s what the bsky mushroom pds‘ do. The records and everything besides blobs is quite small. If you want to have a cache of the network with a complete backfill, like the bsky appview has, things get large ofc.

tears falling into a tiny coffee, extinguishing one of my three lit cigarettes on their way down. i scrape the ashes away with my insurance card, starring mindlessly at the high speed rail line passing the historic city center.
with a heavy accent and weird wooden shoes i yearn for @skylight.social

Apple App Store alert informing me that skylight.social is still not available in my region: App Not Available This app is currently not available in your country or region.

*sad european noises*

you can edit a record with com.atproto.repo.putRecord, but there are reasons why the bsky appview doesn’t support this. this article goes into some of the technical and social reasons.

tl;dr: it’s a deep deep rabbit hole of ui/ux considerations.

take a look at @protopro.blue and @labeler.protopro.blue

still a better response time than my actual service provider. the telefonica brands could learn a thing or two here.

moments before i get dragged out of the studio by the shark tank production crew:

Are you planning on making this behavior configurable for the user?

you could use AIP as your oauth service.

You can do things for their own sake without having to provide justification. But if you really need one, it's this: *things lead to other things.* Doing things opens up doors, ideas, pathways, and opportunities that couldn't have been imagined or designed without having first done those things. By definition, doing things you enjoy leads to more things you'll enjoy. It's another way of saying "the dots connect looking backwards", one of the three messages in Steve Jobs' (wonderful) commencement address at Stanford, but it keeps the frame in the present. Simply following one's curiosity — even when it seems unproductive to do so — is wildly underestimated as an activity that moves the human race forward. Feynman's spinning plates led to his Nobel prize. It's easy to lose motivation when it isn't clear how some work will contribute. But quite often, the biggest contribution something makes is the next thing it leads us into. We can't predict these paths in advance, but we can notice how much it has happened in the past, and trust that it will continue. This is one worth repeating early and often. Things lead to other things. It's a powerful reminder in the face of creative doubts. "What if this is nothing?" Doesn't matter, it will lead to something.

In creative work, there is this frustration while mid-process that reflects the delta between where a work is and where you want it to be. When it's gone, the work is done. This means that one is always experiencing this in the ongoing activity of their creative work. There's always a next problem to be solved, or a need to get some work away from some unsatisfying place, or toward some unknown more satisfying one. It isn't always clear, in fact, it's usually unclear, where to go — that's why it's so frustrating. We live with this frustration during the whole life of a creative work. You have to learn to embrace this frustration. The frustration sometimes feels like a despair born from fear that the work won't get better, that it won't ever meet your tastes. But it should be embraced: it's what tells you your work will get better, because it keeps your mind at the task of figuring how to improve it. It is a *good* frustration. Once you learn to embrace this frustration, you can start to enjoy it, which helps you enjoy your work more (which helps you do harder things). It helps to have gone through many resolutions of this frustration; that gives you the confidence to know early on in a creative project that it will, in time, dissipate, as you find your way through the nooks of creative revelation. But I've found that it seems to require revolutions in each domain; this frustration is hard to enjoy in a new field of creation, since this confidence has much less to ground itself on. It's important to be able to identify the good frustration. Simply being able to identify it can turn it from a source of negativity to one of excitement and energy. Once identified, it can become a source of action, sometimes even direction. In particularly challenging moments, this frustration can end early work. Pointing at this frustration, describing its source, and what about the work has led to it, is often all you need to think more clearly about how to proceed.

I furiously note-take my way into the depths of a project. These notes become Ariadne's thread; when I'm deep in the details and I've lost sense of the project's purpose — which I need to color my interpretation of the details, including filtering out those that do not matter, and to direct my next actions — I can return to those notes which pull me into the right perspective again. They are also helpful when writing descriptions of the project for public consumption; once I know the inner-most details, challenges, rewarding pieces, etc., it becomes much harder to describe the project from the outside. I'm now a native to the project, and I can no longer give a newcomer directions that make any sense to them. The original notes serve this purpose wonderfully. David Bowie: > Always remember that the reason that you initially started working was that there was something inside yourself that you felt that if you could manifest it in some way, you would understand more about yourself and how you co-exist with the rest of society. I've found it necessary to document that spark from first flint to the first moment of forgetfulness.

The creator's mind can often fall into a perfectionist's trap: "It must first be *right*, then it can be." Obsession grows with something being perfect, more perfect, more than perfect. This will grind work to a halt. We hold on too tight. In these times, it's important to reorient to experimentation and consistency. It is at these times that I must catch the down-spiral early, and instead refocus my obsession on consistent work and progress. Striving for consistency inevitably leads to quality; striving for quality inevitably destroys consistency. This advice does not necessarily supersede the need to acknowledge one’s seasonal creative phases or to give into good distractions. So this may not be the right advice at all times, but you'll know the times when it is, because it'll annoy you. And it's important to remember: **Diverse inputs create rich outputs**. This happens in big ways and small. On the latter: at some surprisingly early point, doing a lot more of the work won't make it any better, but doing a lot of *other* things will. On the former: one must cultivate an interest in and understanding of many different things. Each field has different ways of seeing the world, and each person has still more nuanced takes. Adopting many lenses helps us see creative solutions to the ever-harder problems we and the world will face. Different lenses are one of the great gifts we get from reading, inquisitive conversation, and following obsessions down deep paths.

Completed another trip around the sun this week. With gratitude, something to share:

Creative work is hilariously unintuitive to the adult mind. We are like beavers, blocking flow at the first sound of running water with dams made of any debris around.

Here are reminders I hold close:

i can’t see the quoted post above as it got deleted, but if this is about the uk thing: self hosting works. people already found out how to configure the pds to give a fake verification.

welcome to „yes, yes, no: bsky edition“

the parenting metaphor was meant as a joke, but man… i’m glad we are starting to protect them together from bs influencing

i would avoid lending any credibility to the psychedelic / parapsychological terms applied to LLMs. not just empirically untestable, this gives too much validity to a community that spreads dangerous misinformation as to how agents and agent systems work.
