"public" or "private" @bsky.app, depending on how you want to slice that cake 🍰

This "permissioned spaces" example use case is Bluesky as it is today on @atproto.com, but in a space where you can enforce more permissions over your content, like only logged in accounts can read

Replace the database with the PDS in moderation!

(once we have private data / permissioned spaces)

verdverm @verdverm.com · 7h

If we are talking about the same thing, this is my understanding, and I believe without too much bias

tl;Dr, from what I have seen

Bsky has made mod decisions that upset some, commenters said some awful things, Bsky team has been rather tone def, some commenters want to turn the word waffles into a dog whistle, not sure where Link story fits in, the account posted a Kirk image in reference to Jay

Isn't that called the Streisand Effect?

8/Like clockwork…Trump injects massive retaliation threat into US/China rare earth debate. Very little evidence that this has been wargamed/clear US strategy. Instead, world economy faces the latest in unprecedented uncertainty.

Trump threatens 'massive' tariff hike on China over rare earths dispute

Stock markets dropped on Trump's bellicose Truth Social post that said China is "becoming very hostile" in seeking tough export controls on rare earths.

user choice is my #atproto ethos

i think what defines bluesky is your ability to craft the tone and content of the conversations you want to have, it’s like real facilitation

aside from blocking, you have:
- detach quote
- hide reply

that surely is hampering engagement, strictly speaking, but it significantly raises the quality

I have some designs to change this with my permissioned spaces work, swap out the postgres for the PDS in labellers and moderation workflow

verdverm @verdverm.com · 1d

what if there are two different developers on the project, who have each edited a file in the same package, and have used a different import declaration for the same external package?

there has to be some heuristic, yea?

verdverm @verdverm.com · 1d

one of the most underappreciated aspects of what's different

verdverm @verdverm.com · 1d

iirc, the tl;dr recommendation is that these off-protocol things should be the purview of services (like appviews or feedgens)

verdverm @verdverm.com · 1d

there's been some ideation around what plugins or sidecars for the PDS could be, but then you end up with a feature support or compatibility problem

"we" might be a bit ambitious here, b/c china == bad in "us"

verdverm @verdverm.com · 1d

I'm supremely happy with my Ioniq6

probably not long before we start seeing Sodium Ion and Solid State batteries in production, which aiui will make the Hyundai 800V platform look slow

verdverm @verdverm.com · 1d

Does it build on OCI?

That's what I'm looking for in the next gen of registries, so many great benefits to this approach and foundation

@cuelang.org leading the charge in this front for languages, CNCF ecosystem seems to be consolidating on OCI

The sheer scale of the data problem is a major moat, one that only billion dollar companies can deal with (because the underlying hardware costs more then $1B)

I have considered ATProto feedgens that reference external content directly though, there are some nice middle grounds to start from

verdverm @verdverm.com · 1d

💯

I'm very careful with my YT and stay away from content like that and generally anything that is less than 20m in length.

with how fast this breaking change was pushed through

can it be reverted for community commentary before forging ahead?

verdverm @verdverm.com · 1d

Are you advocating for LLMs in your LSPs?

verdverm @verdverm.com · 1d

This seems like some relevant context

these videos are largely being disseminated via twitter and then they get reposted to fb, ig, tiktok etc. if theyre on youtube its likely a repost of the original tweet

I have tried Deno btw

verdverm @verdverm.com · 1d

Their copy says "web standards" which means something different to me than "js standard apis"

Are you using them interchangeably or is there something that "js standard apis" means that is a superset of web standards?

verdverm @verdverm.com · 1d

I'd recommend a Beelink or Minisforum

Ditched my framework less than a year after getting it, was slower than my pixelbook despite being 2 years newer

Went back to Mac silicon and close enough linux for what I actually type on

verdverm @verdverm.com · 1d

I generally see Node, Deno, and Bun converging on the same interfaces and features. Multiple, edge case incompatible ecosystems only hurts the broader ecosystem. We're already seeing these play out

At some point it is emacs vs vi, perhaps we are already there

Private data is coming to ATProto

- Bsky team members have said this is a must-have multiple times
- The Working Group has had the first meeting
- I'm actively working on modifying the PDS for "permissioned spaces"

> Not using Deno or bun is turning down free speed & efficiency.

"free" is doing a lot of work here by excluding the cost of learning the quirks of a new ecosystem / tool and the cost of migrating existing code

The performance of Node has not been enough to mig, rather it has been improving
