I want to be a part of the team building Rasberry Ai. I genuinely think it has the potential to positively change entire continents.

Do I know anyone who can connect me to the good people at Rasberry Pi? I want to work with them and have recently applied. Anything to help me get a foot in the door would be appreciated.

I’m building ai models for low resource languages and have years of technical experience across emerging tech.

Music is uniquely positioned to paint a picture of the time period it’s produced in. We feel nostalgia with music because it passively informs us of the time it was made. Today’s music; (everything from the tech used to produce it to distribution tools) betrays the dissonance of global empire.

@vintageobscura.net @vintageobscura.net Today I realized your whole feed is a live track list of what’s playing on stream and that’s dope as hell I want to know how you created that workflow.

Bluesky and video. Been tryna upload a new interview for two days now. lol why does it want to work some days and other days it’s like…

Overwhelming to hear about how much the AT community showed up today at IETF. I wish I could've been there.

I'm sure many people deserve special thanks, but I do want to highlight @bmann.ca for helping to get people there. I feel so fortunate to be a part of such a great group of people.

Yo @vintageobscura.net this you!?!? Been listening for years on Radio Garden. Thanks for the like! Happy to find out you’re on Bluesky!

i think the mamdani exodus will be significantly smaller than pandemic population decline

at some point i think one of the companies will start recording sync+track data from dj setups installed in venues and attempt to train a model to do it

and, i %100 believe it's both possible to train the model to do this & that any club which would offer you a non-human DJ should not be attended

Also fun little note. I usually make all the music for my videos from scratch with my modular synth setups. I record straight to sd card via resampling. 😁

I’m going to keep posting highlight interviews like this as I ramp up to full stream episodes with guests. I hope to use these short videos to show the AT protocol community that I know how to find and interview 🔥 people who are fighting for the tech future that benefits ALL of humanity.

Spent the day with Yusuf Abdul Qadir in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. PART 2 in comments!

Yusuf has a long career of designing equitable solutions for connectivity in African nations & is uniquely qualified to speak on the shortcomings of global human rights technology community.

Watch & please share. 🧙🏾‍♂️

If you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, @alexhanna.bsky.social and I will be here this evening 👇🏼

it should have raised more alarms when google changed their motto from "don't be evil" to "go ahead and be as evil as you like"

@timnitgebru.bsky.social being on Bluesky big discovery. Definitely want to get her involved in our independent tech journalism streams. If anyone knows her

Gonna post a recent highlight with Dr. Yusuf Qadir later today talking about great research and owning the agenda of Africa’s tech future.

🎯 the one gift from the far right going mainstream is that it has given “permission” or cover for a big part of the population to show their true colors. I’m glad we can clearly see where their line is cause mine never changed

What roles are you hiring for? 👀

racism is OPSEC's best friend

REMINDER! — nyc atproto friends! — hosting a meetup in Brooklyn this Wednesday evening, RSVP here!

🦋🗽🍕🍻🙌✨

We'll do a lil show and tell [twist: share a fave project someone *else* made!], talk ideas for collab & growing the atmosphere…

I'll send another reminder soon to solicit pizza requests :)

People that shit on Bluesky because the “critical mass is on Twitter and that’s it’s best feature”

…the best feature of Bluesky is the ability to rebuild the “critical mass”without the desperate capitalism. Twitter’s best days are behind it, recognize that and demand more for yourself.

Heres a short highlight of an interview I did with a phenomenal technologist, engineer and philosopher out of Jamaica named Chad Nehemiah.

However, in recent years with the rise of far right governments digital imperialism has rapidly revealed itself to western civ. I’m fascinated by the disillusionment of western society where previously a veneer of altruistic saviourism once hypnotized the masses.

Indeed. Appreciate the encouragement. My previous years have been spent critiquing digital imperialism as it encroached on the “global south” with the “best of intentions.”

Thoughts?

Planning episode 1 of my upcoming debut into tech journalism as an independent journalist.

Initially I’m focused on process/ consistency. I’m thinking one 45 min ep per week, 4 weeks then revisit format with feedback from folks here on Bluesky.

1st ep outline: Tech Bros & The World They’re taking

How Streamplace Works: Syndication It's like everyone is their own little TV station!

New blog post! How Streamplace Works: Syndication

Up until now, most Streamplace users have been using one big server at stream.place. With Streamplace 0.8, you can actually replicate streams on your own nodes. Borrowing a term from broadcast TV, we call this syndication. Here's how it works:

Interesting. Can you give me an example of a use case..?

Dear AT protocol people: I always strive to work on tech that I think is actually useful.

Long ago I made the mistake of loving comp sci & then going deep on philosophy in grad school.. So I have a neurotic need to work on pivotal human tech. If anyone needs help, I’m here. The nihilists must lose.
