I'd have to read up on OIDC federation, but that sounds like a very reasonable use case.

A new tasty treat for all of you lovely Bluesky folks. The @overcommitted.dev podcast interviewed @ngerakines.me recently and it was a super fun conversation!

Learn about #atproto, why it's so incredibly cool, and how to get involved in open source projects:

So just to be clear, I have not opted into this and you are showing pictures that I've labeled as "Sexually Suggestive" without any warning also without my consent or the consent of the viewer.

That seems like a bare-minimum feature.

One Year Anniversary This is the one year anniversary of the launch of Smoke Signal!

@smokesignal.events, for supports some media like banner images. Those blobs are stored directly in the PDS and Smoke Signal pulls them from the PDS to serve when people view event pages.

That's right, the PDS. The ATProtocol lexicon has a "blob" type that allows records to reference blobs. AppViews, like bsky.app and smokesignal.events, are on their own to figure out how to fetch and display media how they want.
