it’s kinda surreal how we still use the internet today in almost the same way we did 10+ years ago.

the biggest experiential upgrade is that there are no more loading screens.

Bitcoin is pumping.

We're getting Intelligent Personal Computers.

There's a raging war in virtual space to defend Super Earth.

We’re in the Roaring 20s of the 21st century.

I'm plotting on your rise bro.
I'm literally up in the lab scheming on beautiful abundance for you
I'm cooking up ways for a rising tide to lift all of our boats.
I'm praying for your gains.
I'm lighting a candle to your inevitable splendor, dude.

> Users are not paying to be here, the platform must be sustainable somehow.

If users aren’t willing to pay to keep the platform up then they’ve got bigger problems.

Disappointing to see this news. The domain system was already a great, equitable solution for verification. Blue checkmarks for “notability” only serve social stratification and seem like a feature mostly requested by self-important people desperate for status.

that’s exactly what’s going to happen.

if bluesky did a good job of getting orgs and public figures to properly leverage the verifiable domain system, bluesky wouldn’t need blue checkmarks.

sad stuff

Agreed. Truly a disappointing move tbh.

Wasn’t this what Bluesky’s verifiable domain/username system, along with ATProto’s DID provisions, was supposed to solve in the first place?

Not sure what I’m missing, but I can’t help feeling like the switch to the “blue checkmark” is a failure, and a bit of a cop-out, on Bluesky’s part.

NYC Deli Lore: There is no spoon behind that counter that is appropriate or helpful for eating the ice cream you get there.

A reminder that the AT Protocol is currently the best shot we have at saving the social internet, and Bluesky is the first of many credible attempts at realising this.

where were the people of other races during this event and why didn't they end up in this photo?

jevons paradox is just a well-educated black man who grew up as a high achiever, went to harvard, but had to live with the fact that his parents named him jevon.

not to brag but my playlist of liked songs on spotify is slutty af—it totally understood the assignment and left no crumbs.

Yep, been looking into them recently.

Their biggest(and sole client) is a local events company in Europe that seems to be doing awesome for it.

Although there’s a lot about OPEN Ticketing that needs improvement, the project is very much on track w.r.t. its solution and relevance.

It cost the USA (and its assisting allies) around $2–3 Billion to build the Manhattan Project and use its products.

In a sense, that $2–3 Billion was considered a sufficient startup cost for America to achieve their version of world peace.

update: it's now at $10M, and growing!

it's a christmas miracle!

This is all unfolding rapidly, but here’s a link to the Twitter Spaces session providing more live insight into the situation.

People often do unproductive things with crypto, but this isn’t one of them. For some of us, it’s heartening to see the technology and infrastructure we’ve supported and advocated for—against all odds—being used to save lives.
