I want to create an incubator that funds atproto/bluesky experimental projects to the tune of $5k-$10k dev grants.

I am sorely tempted to call it “Chemtrails”, because it seeds the ATmosphere

Hit me with your best ideas!

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

John Lennon would have been 85 today. Imagine all that could have been if his life wasn't cut so tragically short. Here’s a short piano tribute. Imagine is an uncomplicated song but as close to perfection as humanly possible (in my opinion). #music #musicians #JohnLennon

Doing politics the right way is when the far-right regime in power memorializes a fallen influencer by terrorizing an academic that the influencer's McCarthyist organization once baselessly singled out for abuse.

First time installing Rocky Linux and was surprised to see a Web console available on initial boot up. Basic metrics, networking information, and even a terminal are all available through your web browser. Extra dope. rockylinux.org

The default web console of the Rocky Linux distribution. Basic memory and cpu metrics, configuration, and system information are displayed on the home page.

But hosting is *so hard*. I need people to do it for me, for free, and then configure it exactly how I want it. Or else I’ll go to Reddit to post about my bad experiences

Jeff Bezos has cozied up to Trump and silenced criticism of him at the Washington Post.

Now Amazon will pay Trump's FTC a slap-on-the-wrist fine of $2.5B — just 1/10 of 1% of its total market cap — to settle a major lawsuit.

More pay-to-play schemes in Trump's swamp.

Republicans don't need a single democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because republicans want it to.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
