Joe BedaLast Wednesday evening @nova had a climbing accident and died.
All of us that loved her are heart broken and stunned. She was an amazing person that lived out loud and built connection and community wherever she went. She will be horribly missed.

according to a bluesky employee, resolveHandle is intentional. this can't be good
https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/issues/979#issuecomment-1538098166
resolveExternalHandle supports any domain allowing file access · Issue #979 · bluesky-social/atproto
there's a user on bsky.social who has a handle of @s3.amazonaws.com because they were able to upload a file acting as an xRPC agent(?) using the resolveHandle endpoint. I believe I've grasped why t...
I know that rust-qt exists but it lacks some svg stuff
does anyone know the best way to work with qt in rust
like if they said "welcome to join elsewhere in the federation when it exists" I mean they're not wrong, but there is nowhere for banned accounts to go. if bsky.social was a separate instance but you could create a federated one then, okay, but you literally can't 💀
bluesky CEO Jay Graber just said any banned accounts are "welcome to join elsewhere in the federation and perhaps reconnect with us after we exit beta". https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/2/23708385/bluesky-weather-report-moderation-app-store
what I take away from this is that bluesky believes it is a federation but knows that bsky.social isn't. the problem is that bluesky is not a federation. it lacks that ability and it should not be calling it one. when you create a "pds" it's more like creating your own twitter/glorified postgres db
Everything happening on Bluesky, Twitter’s most chaotic successor
The invite-only, Jack Dorsey-backed social network Bluesky had a surge of interest and new users last week. But between the appearance of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, harassment scandals, and platform errors, a new community is finding its footing.
at some point in the future I would like to create a "better bluesky" but that's literally just mastodon 💀 it's futile to put work into something that's already been done. the concept is fine but until bsky.social gets federation I won't touch it. it prob will, it's prob just because it's invite only rn.
