@mackuba.eu do you have a list of PDS servers you are crawling for your non-mushroom relay? I got the indigo relay running on a laptop I fished out of the trash at relay.indigo.snek.cc.

@vicwalker.dev.br I said the word "bridago" to my partner (she knows some words + has a Brazilian friend) and she spent longer than I'm willing to admit to get me to correctly pronounce both it and "Brazil" as a Portuguese speaker would say it. 😞🤌🤌🇧🇷 (I failed)

@tree.fail idk if it would be interesting to track did:web key changes, i.e. look for did:web ids from relays and store them in a db and run a cron job to check the did.json ever now and then.
idk why it would be useful other than curiosity

At last! Open Access version of the book on MIT's site. One for the syntax nerds. I argue we need to replace Merge, that there are no Phases, and that we need to rethink the basic theoretical typology of Islands. Feel free to download with abandon! 🐦🐦 #syntax direct.mit.edu/books/oa-mon...
Mereological Syntax: Phrase Structure, Cyclicity, and Islands
An argument for replacing Chomsky’s set-theoretic Merge view of syntax with a theory of syntax based on mereological objects.Mereology is the study of part

@iame.li I think I broke a PDS or atproto account in a new & fun way
- mod.bsky.app/xrpc/com.atp... returns []
- no jwt error
- set the appview env
- did request crawl
- pdsls.dev/at://did:web... looks fine
- a brand new account on the same pds.snek.cc works fine
bsky caching did:web key somehow??

@lukeacl.com I used your didweb account creation tool to move a did:web account from a pds on my homelab to one on a vps:
- backed up the car file + blobs
- set up new did:web account using your tool
- imported data
but did:web:atproto-nix.org
doesn't show up in bsky.app, I did request crawl

@cara.city very random question b/c I see you post lots of cools things regard old tech, do you know anything about telephony stuff? I think it would be fun to figure out how to run a fax server to do dumb things like ATP app bridged over sending faxes. I've seen www.raspbx.org + www.asterisk.org

@baileytownsend.dev possibly silly question, but does pdsmoover.com have any support for migrating did:web accounts to another pds? I know its a bit weirder than did:plc to migrate.

@quillmatiq.com sorry to bother you again but I'm also reminded of some tilde.town like stuff on the gemini protocol (sort of like an in between http and gopher w/ support for clients using TLS certs for logins)
such as midnight pub: portal.mozz.us/gemini/midni...
(http -> gemini proxy)

@quillmatiq.com are you familar with the twtxt protocol?
It seems like people still use it twtxt.net (latest posts were today). docs: twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
and it seems like there's a mastodon <-> twtxt bridge
also see yarn.social

I'm running @microcosm.blue slingshot on slingshot.wisp.place
It's currently on a Virginia, US box
docs here:
slingshot.microcosm.blue#description/...
it really really speeds up record fetching/handle resolution and is super cool.
Ill monitor bandwidth and see if i can move to other locations

@vicwalker.dev.br are there tutorials floating around for using Crowdin for Bsky translation? There are speakers of Hawaiian on here (sent new lang req) and I was wondering if there was a link I could send @lawakua.bsky.social if they wanted to contribute. Mahalo (thanks)!

⭐ WIP Stop-Motion VTuber Update ⭐
The model now adjusts posture depending on the last key pressed, for example if they press B, they lean a bit to the right, and A, they stay leaned to the left
Additionally the model can now use the D-Pad and the buttons at the same time

@fullmoon.id naive question, but could github.com/Gabriella439... be used in the building of some kind of "MCP" server or improve the prompting of an agent (ex: Letta)? I'm trying to get a sense of what cools things I could do with it or what you see people using it for.

Someone should make a federated or p2p registry of pebbleOS apps over atproto/activitypub/nostr/ipfs/bittorent/etc.
I manually went through 6000 Pebble watchfaces (50% of the appstore) and picked over 400 favs! The appstore now shows a random selection of those favs. Let me know what you think - and which ones I missed!
