This article is a must read.

An excerpt: “Why would anyone fund an Atmosphere project if #Bluesky, with $100 million in the bank, might ship a competing feature at any moment? Why would a founder bet their career on this ecosystem? The presentation didn't just hurt Graze. It made the entire ecosystem look unfundable.”

Why do I keep bringing up this topic?

Because #ATproto is often put in the same category as #ActivityPub (“open protocols yay”) but I strongly disagree with that stance

Again looking at running my own #Mastodon instance and seeing a ton of abandoned projects for lightweight, single-user #ActivityPub servers. Are there options that are actively maintained and ready for use? I've run #Pleroma before but don't actually need a web frontend. Happy to @phanpy and that's it. Suggestions, anyone?

Trump Posts Concept Art of His Presidential Library, and It's AI Slop

Trump likes AI, but this video generator was especially bad at rendering text.

@karlos Do you have a source that shows that this is publicly funded? That'd be new to me.

I'm looking for some trustworthy background & context on #WSocial, that allegedly up-and-coming Twitter-killer I don't see anyone talk about. Is it federated? Does it interoperate with the #Fediverse or #ATProto?

@simondowens Looks awesome! Is this DRM-free so I can read it wherever I want?

I packaged 97 of my media entrepreneur case studies into an ebook spanning 558 pages and over 200,000 words. I'm pretty confident there isn't another book on the market that's packed with this many insights for how to build a successful content business.

If you’re in your car in traffic and you see people moving smoothly on bikes in a protected bike-lane, or a full bus zooming past you in a bus-only lane, sure you could be mad at them for moving faster than you, or you could be someone who understands geometry and knows that providing mobility choices that take less space makes getting around cities better for EVERYONE.
