Since 2004, this community has helped make Firefox and the open internet possible. Our “Come Back to Firefox” campaign reunites a few early internet icons to remind people what made the internet special, and why it’s worth protecting.

@placita.app is there a plan to support private PDS data in the future? Also, lists or guides would be amazing. I really like the map and UI style you’re using!

Profile updated!

This is just… charming. Love it! 😊

Sad to hear about this closing. I know multiple people who either got their start at BioWare, or were working there still. Hopefully they all land in their feet!

with 0 polls reporting and 0% of votes counted, I am confidently calling this all a bunch of vaporous theatrical nonsense that cost us tens or perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars of public money which should have gone to the fucking hospitals

Still time to have your say! What should browsers focus on? Locking down existing features, adding new ones? They're asking, so let them know!

Here’s that link if you want to quickly learn more. engaged.edmonton.ca/ResidentialP...

Meanwhile, at anthropic

Have to agree this seems like an easy win.

Done! Here are my top five. Can't wait for `Temporal`!

See which features are missing (or not fully implemented) in specific browsers and go upvote/comment on their issues Chrome: developer-signals.dev?browser=chro... Edge: developer-signals.dev?browser=edge... Firefox: developer-signals.dev?browser=fire... Safari: developer-signals.dev?browser=safa...

Definitely growing on me

There are a lot of ways to be online, but I am convinced that this is the way we should cultivate and cherish. Being earnest and open to positivity is an active practice that enriches all of our lives.

good morning, did you remember?

This looks so fun. Can see it will be a lot of work for the browsers but the controls will be sick.

Will you join us for the Week Without Driving from October 1-8? Whether you’re a community member, an elected official, or a public servant, we challenge you to join the campaign and reflect on the experience! pathsforpeople.org/initiatives/... #weekwithoutdriving #weekwithoutdrivingedmonton

Awesome news! I’ve been really happy with @zed and have been hearing so many good things about Delta. Glad to finally be getting to try it for myself.

Night at the theatre! 🍿

This could be huge if you’re looking to quickly build a database using your PDS to host the data. Brilliant idea!

Good morning, you deserve a fat promotion

PSA: If you’re a web developer take a few minutes to share with browsers what features you’d like them to implement next.

A smile this morning

What a cool way to understand the changing human experience over time. Check it out if you have a free minute.

“Newskies” definitely needs to become a thing.

Very cool for anyone building on atproto! 💻🔨

Seriously cool work here if you’re looking to quickly hack together an app or lexicon!

All registered to advance vote in the upcoming Alberta referendum. The vote might be a terrible ridiculous idea, but at least I won't be waiting in line. You can do the same, just go to: specialballot.elections.ab.ca/index/8400

Yes. ❤️

Can’t agree with this more. It’s time for us to open the web again.

Nitter gets a cease & desist from X while atproto, activitypub, and the open social web community makes the Internet more open.

Are you a Node.js user? We want your feedback. Tell us all about how you're using Node.js in our annual user survey. Your response helps shape our future priorities! https://linuxfoundation.surveymonkey.com/r/nodejs-users-2026

I actually strive for perfect clarity with my color theme pickers. codepen.io/editor/chris...

Your records in spaces can now be created, edited, and deleted through PDSls just like public records!

Thrilled with the progress @tangled.org has made recently. 🚀 I've hosted a few open source projects there. The community has been kind, and genenours with pull requests. Definitely looking to use it more in future, and appreciate how @atproto.com means I'm not locked in.

This latest @github.com outage is fostering some interesting discussion of code hosting alternatives like @tangled.org on HN. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4933... Seems like there is lots of interest in alternatives, but no strong concensus on what that should be. Time for the community to rally?

we're planning v2 of our standard.site integration in the bsky app the goal is to make the "subscribe" button work. when you tap "subscribe" on a link card, what should happen? e.g. - get notifications on bsky when new articles are published - see new articles in a feed or separate tab - more?

Love this and would love to see more transit choices in Edmonton. Cars should not be the only option.

Wow. I had no idea this was a thing but it totally makes sense.

The State of Devs survey is open for participation. There's a lot of uncertainty and, frankly, occasionally I'm navigating a full-blown identity crisis. I'm very curious about whether I'm alone with these feelings and how bad the majority really feels... https://stateofdevs.com/...

Much of my career boils down to: All code is liability. Minimize it. Feedback loops are everywhere. Speed them up; do them more. We're bad at predicting the future. Avoid it. More tests. Hire smart, motivated people, then get out of their way. Find the right thing to turn off and on again.

Everyone loooooves data ownership until you have to move Don’t believe what big atproto tells you, records are NOT portable

watched the odyssey last night. film ruined by everyone speaking english instead of ancient greek.

Love this idea! Definitely going to look in to it for our kids!

Today, I set up synchub.to in my repos (previously used a GitHub action to sync repos to @tangled.org). The DX is just such a breeze. Thank you @danielroe.dev for always creating exactly the side projects that people currently need.

Wow. So much going on in this photo. Great shot. 📸🙌

i want to spread the word about atproto. if you’re running a podcast, i’d be happy to hop in to talk about it. i understand it decently well and can explain it without much jargon. it’s one of the most interesting developments in the last 30 years of web, and i can defend that. please dm to set up!
