Oh, if you were wondering why at #fediforum today (and partly yesterday) why I was like stalling out trying to say some things and having to change what I was saying, it's because I've an ulcer on the tip of my tongue which was making certain words hard to pronounce 😅

The GoToSocial post import tool, slurp, now supports BlueSky post and media imports, backdated and all. I even used a custom PDS.

I'll do a write up at some point.

The most suprising thing, which probably should not have been a surprise - all your BlueSKy […]

Re: https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:hdhoaan3xa3jiuq4fg4mefid/post/3m2q6g72gok2g

I'm certainly curious how many backlinks or crosslinks between data we've produced with ActivityPub. Obviously that's not as easily analysed as in AT Protocol, but it's an interesting number […]

I'm doing an AMAA, ask me anything atproto, for the rest of the day. Got a question you've always wondered about ATProtocol and the atmosphere? Ask below and I will do my best to answer or at least point you in the right direction! As always there's no dumb questions, we all started somewhere.

Wow, this is a pretty incredible video from @hankgreen on ghost towns, the internet, and nostalgia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOyQpwPrf2Q

I'm kinda feeling like I wanna do a video reply.

#fediforum is over. All went well. Good discussions, great keynote, amazing demos. Attendees seem to be happy, or so they said.

Time for a nap.

I declare I have earned it! Ha!

Oooh, and I totally missed this: Client ID Metadata Documents has officially been adopted by the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. This means we're a step closer to it moving from an internet draft to an official RFC […]

I should also note that once I've enough to be comfortable, that's when I can start funding people to help me with the work I'm doing and lifting others that are doing cool work up too.

My total income this year is a little bit above €28,550.52 but not by much; I think it's maybe €35,000 or €38,000 in total (just whatever small amounts of freelance work I could pick up)

Roughly 40% of what I earn goes to taxes and health insurance, nearly €900 a month goes to rent. So I'm really struggling to make ends meet, despite doing huge amounts of work in the Fediverse.

Hey #fediforum, I've an ask: If you attended my session at the end of FediForum today, and you'd like to see me continue to work on these ideas, please support me financially.

Right now I'm having to look for work outside of the Fediverse because I simply cannot make ends meet.

I need €60-70k […]

I may have just broken the minds of ActivityPub developers at #fediforum, but the question I posed was "what happens if we do this differently? What other ways of building the Fediverse are there? Why are we building monolithic applications?"

The first half of the session was very much so an […]

Well this is admirably concise and direct by Germany's justice ministry.

@Floppy maybe only the case with juniors, but I think a "weak senior" is possibly unlikely to level up?

Emelia 👸🏻 @thisismissem.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy · 19h

@Floppy I think it's also kind of indicative of how terrible focusing hiring on "10x engineers" is and how we've built an industry that hires in completely nonsensical ways.

Emelia 👸🏻 @thisismissem.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy · 19h

@Floppy yep, that too!

Have been discussing this article with a few engineers I'm in a group chat with and the consensus is it's a bit bait-y and vague, but could have some minor salient points

Emelia 👸🏻 @thisismissem.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy · 19h

@Floppy yeah, good engineers often understand communication and leadership

Emelia 👸🏻 @thisismissem.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy · 19h

I should note: I'm not saying this is a good article, but it was one I happened to read and find to be somewhat interesting as a perspective
