@alexbenzer.com In the Android app, I added profile links, but when I tap them, the edit drawer opens instead of the URL. I checked other profiles, and the links work correctly there.

bullish on atproto, on an ecosystem of interconnected websites growing between the walls of these decaying isolated gardens

Today I signed the @keepandroidopen.bsky.social petition on the change dot org website We need a petition app here too. @bsky38.com something like this. #atproto

the last 20% to get a product shipped and successful is as difficult as ever this is where 99% of programmers have always fallen off the first 80% is a lot easier and so we're seeing more abandoned projects than ever

be careful in your pursuit of cheap tokens we've come across so many sketchy things that are out there with tons of usage remember you're hooking up your harness to these inference providers. they can and do crazy things like send fake tool calls to steal your info 1/2

especially things that are free to use

I'm a simple man. If a YouTube video cover has a stunned face on it, I don't watch the video.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

Basically it's the difference between what the anti-AI hardliners think vibe coding is vs what vibe coding actually is

1 reason I try not to opt into AI discourse is because I’m pretty sure the group of people who find it empowering for software/productivity is inevitably smaller than the group of people who find it marginalizing for other kinds of labor/creativity and yet for better and worse I’m in the first group

Simulation of binary black holes. Original concept by Jeremy Schnittman and Brian P. Powell svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13831 Relativistic GLSL ray-tracing notebook by @nxrix.bsky.social observablehq.com/@nxrix/binar... Starfield & orbit controls by @laotzunami.bsky.social observablehq.com/d/cca8d2013f...

It enables people to create software so easily that we will be able to move away from the tech monopolies that dominate our lives

The cool thing on Bluesky is that you can use follows, labelers, blocks, and mutes to curate your experience and find the stuff that you're interested in, and hide what you're not. You can read about AI generated popularity contests if you want. You can also not. Make Bluesky what you want it to be.

Creating a windows installer from anything other than windows necessitates using a third-party USB tool that you download from somebody random, because of course it does I pulled relatively popular a git repo, and had an agent run an audit of the code before building. I want that power more.

Perhaps we ought to be building everything from source now so we can do this kind of thing. Distributing binaries becomes considered bad practice.

.@ducklabs.com is joining Amazon Web Services (AWS), expected to be effective by early Sept. This move gives DuckLabs the resources and reach to bring #DuckDB, DuckLake, and the Quack protocol to many more developers and orgs – while keeping our commitment to OSS Read the full announcement here:

FFS, this is so fucked… 😩 Would it kill the people here to not chase away any tech person who comes here and says something about AI?… I really want tech discussions and communities to hang out here and not on Elon's far-right playground 😐

This video about AI & mental health by @tolin.ski is mandatory viewing for anyone using AI moderately/heavily: youtu.be/iPUn1Fnfn0k?...

Someone else summed it up really well gruhn.me/blog/2026-08...

when everyone has a different explanation of why the bad numbers are not that bad or why the small number is still very important, the simplest explanation is that the bad number is actually just indeed very bad

Every time I feel like I somewhat caught up with how things are done these days, it turns out that actually since June this is all completely outdated and everyone is five layers above me already…

Recently, I received three data breach emails: Jul 21: Suno (11/25/2025) Aug 6: Paidwork - I don't even know this platform (3/29/2026) Aug 7: Tally/Metabase (03/08/2026) Only Tally has informed me so far directly. First two via @haveibeenpwned.com and @mozilla.org Monitor.

All my apps are like this. I build them for myself, and if I use them, I keep updating them. And now I'm down to three, and I regularly use them for different purposes. It's a great feeling to use social media the way you want to use it.

Interesting trend: CTO/ Head of Eng / VPE folks at startups and mid-sized companies are... leaving / burning out. Hiring for these roles is HARD, but even after filling the role, they will often leave a few months later and take a career break And they have v good reasons

I should probably stop making new projects and finish some existing ones… 🤪

I may scrape. YOU may not distill.

Too many words about DIDs: steveklabnik.com/writing/too-...

True. And it often leads to exhaustion, then a break, then the same path all over again.

OMG BETTER ATPROTO / BLUESKY ENDPOINTS DOCS YAY!!

Well I'm gonna be boring, but this one… In all my years on Twitter, FB, IG etc. I often had various ideas for things I wanted to do there to automate things, process information, extend things, get more out of it, and I couldn't because it was too restricted. And now I can do all of that here ✨

There’s a lot of atproto apps and clients that do this and it’s my biggest pet peeve

I feel like almost the only thing you need to create a good <x> is to use it yourself and care about the details

As a former astronaut, I’ve got high standards for space movies. Here are my favorites.

Seeing how SOTA models are evolving: becoming more restrictive in usage (decided by the company), less transparent (you cannot tell if the AI lab nerfed your model) + less private (your prompts are stored, no opt out) makes me much more interested in open models + local inference

Well, it's crazy to think that I've been working on this project for three weeks *checks git history* FOUR MONTHS?

What Ricardo said is better: > people don't need to get outraged, they need to walk away.

We’re going to build a data centre for Tangled.

I want to work on a NEW side project but I have too many tasks in my CURRENT side projects ugh

We were told that the advances in AI would mean we'd have UBI and/or four day work weeks, but it's been clear for a while that the only two options corporations want are less people to pay and/or squeeze even more productivity out of people

AI generated voiceovers for articles are my limit. This is too much.

4/ More of our focus should go towards maintenance, repairability, recyclability and longevity of devices.

this gets especially ugly with reposts and quote posts. plus, post editing adds more complexity and required tooling for our T&S team. so if we do this, we'll need guardrails.
