Public records, private view.

I used to read behind a private shade, alone with ink, no footprints made.

Now every page I try to see,
demands I share my identity.

Login to read, login to learn.
Who’s reading me while I read?
Whose ledger marks the page I turn?

A little proof of concept I've been working on, it's a version of Bluesky that you can run locally, even on your laptop, that pulls just the data you care about from the firehose, indexes it, and provides you an interface to view and interact with posts.

Should have guessed it: "Due to a lack of apportionment of funds, this website is currently unavailable." oversight.gov is where many reports and audits are collected for Inspectors General across the exec branch. It takes some digging in wayback to access reports. web.archive.org/web/20250000...

As more and more government information disappears, we're glad to see @archive.org (which has done so much already to preserve our online history) become an official Federal Depository Library!

European policymakers should designate open-source frameworks like the AT Protocol, the foundation for Bluesky, as critical infrastructure and invest in developing social-media apps on them, argues Sebastian Vogelsang.
Europe Can Build Its Own Social Media
Sebastian Vogelsang thinks policymakers are overlooking the potential for developing platforms on decentralized, open protocols.
