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.

NGC 7380: The Wizard Nebula Still working through some of the data from Starfest earlier this year! Have a ways to go with the camera settings and the processing, but the progress is steady (and most importantly, fun!) 33 x 300s using a dual narrowband filter #astrophotography

You Can See Everything was phenomenal and, among other things, exposure therapy for those of us chronically uncomfortable with long periods of eye contact

web developer: oh hey you guys are back early infra: four's haunted web developer: what? infra: *loading a pistol and getting back on the computer* four's haunted

Bad day to launch my PHP based certificate authority

My thoughts on the current state of AI driven software development, why I'm no longer concerned about a runaway intelligence explosion, and what I think is a far worse outcome we could be walking into maevyn.codes/decoherence

one of my favourite things about atproto & the Atmosphere is this thematic push to 'make it your own' @blackskyweb.xyz is doing it with Acorn, Bluesky wants to do it with Spaces, and now @eurosky.social too we'll have a million different pockets of the web, all compatible with each other (fun!)

I love the internet

feed the robots.ᐟ

tons of excitement for this behind the scenes talking to folks, the energy around this feels like a breakthrough on the same level as 3.5 sonnet everyone's looking for a way to fit this into their product/workflow

love to see @gandersocial.ca assuming the title of the first associate member of the open web in Europe

Dividing up AI users in 3 categories: Wizard: approaches AI academically & with appropriate guards & wards. Treats it like a tool. Warlock: Makes a pact for power with an alien entity without considering the costs. Is corrupted by the whispers. Cleric: worships their new machine god. Is insane.

god that's clean best thing about Apple getting into foldables is that more devs will finally get their hands on one and maybe decide to whip up a tablet mode for their apps

love this little atmosphere primer on @leaflet.pub

bluesky needs some sort of atproto-powered plugin system, registered implementations & views of different PDS records made by devs in the community the @standard.site integration was the first step towards this, but anyone should be able to build these integrations

This looks sick, I haven't seen an Aurora Borealis yet. Highlight for me was to be able to see a pinkish tint in the sky when I used my phone to take long-exposure shots of the sky here. Also ironic to have those posts next to each other haha. Over here in Berlin each night is just... black. 😭

ontario when there's something cool to see in the sky:

intentionally* missed notifications

when Apple comes out with a passport-shaped iPhone Fold, and everyone says Samsung beat them to it never forget who *really* did it first

woke up with a sore neck, a bad knee and an ankle injury sleeping remains the most dangerous activity of my day

letting claude ssh into your infrastructure feels so good when you don't have some nerd in your ear telling you it's a bad idea

seeing the Fold 8 has only made me realize just how much we need a physical keyboard on the outer screen of foldables this is the final form of foldable phones, it just makes sense

confidence in botters has hit an all time low

suddenly having a newfound appreciation for my @xbox.com

the snap marketing team really put in the WORK on the new glasses

my slack process

new blog post! all about dev tooling
