Introducing Bounce: a new tool that uses Bridgy Fed to migrate your social graph b/w ActivityPub and ATProto. Yup, we built a service that moves your social graph *across* protocols. And the best part? You get to keep *all* of your followers, along with many of your follows.

Will report back with photo soon "Guests can opt to transform their hot latte into a “selfie-ccino” by scanning a QR code at the register, uploading an image or selecting an image ... and a laser imaging device will burn the photograph or artwork onto the coffee’s foam."

A big thanks to everyone who came out for ROOST’s informational happy hour event last night in Washington, DC! 🍸 We loved meeting folks from the policy, AI and open source communities. Learn more about what ROOST is doing to build resilient, online safety infrastructure. roost.tools

A reminder with #fediforum coming up to use this Bluesky feed to keep up with news that breaks there…. (Link in thread below)

Get ready for #FediForum (June 5-7) and connect with the people shaping the future of the open social web with this Surf feed created by @timothychambers.net. 📌 Pin it to your home to follow the event and be part of the movement — it'll take all of us to push the social web forward.

"The AI" will often insert a different kind of space character into generated text as a hidden marker I've quoted the character here, it looks like a space but it is unique and not the normal SPACE UTF-8: 20 hidden marker -> ` ` NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE Unicode: U+202F, UTF-8: E2 80 AF

One more thing on this. Given my connection to Bluesky, every week multiple people ping me with some variation of "I can't believe Bluesky doesn't have *this* feature that it *absolutely needs* and you guys are *so* stupid that you haven't built it yet."

Earlier this year I wrote about the problem of "learned helplessness" online, where people think the only thing they can do if they don't like how something works is to yell at companies/gov't to "fix things." Some of the responses I'm getting to the post below... www.techdirt.com/2025/01/27/e...

This one trick will recover all your disk space on iOS ``` xcrun simctl list devices xcrun simctl delete unavailable xcrun simctl erase all xcrun simctl runtime delete --notUsedSinceDays 30 xcrun simctl delete all ```

This is taking a lot longer than I thought... ``` git gc --prune=now --aggressive Enumerating objects: 802871, done. Counting objects: 100% (802871/802871), done. Delta compression using up to 10 threads Compressing objects: 97% (764126/784274) ```

Full disclosure I work on @surf.social and this is a very difficult feed to maintain. Interest spikes on Sunday when the new episode airs, then gradually tapers off through the week until it climbs again ahead of next Sunday’s broadcast

Sooo, I built an NBA feed on @surf.social that grabs posts from Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon… plus podcasts, YouTube clips, and RSS drops. All in one place. Strictly hoop. And, if you wanna check it out, you can pin a version of it here on Bluesky. I guess decentralized social is kinda cool 😎.
