iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

You're at least the 3rd person to make the same observation! The irony is not lost at all!! I think @iame.li was 1st, and I happened to post a few days after him. Such a cool space though!

plus one – I'd build one too. It would be cool if the photo uploads to the PDS with metadata indicating it came from a grain device "a grain of truth!" in the PDS record; but I suspect it would be in the EXIF data in the blob anyway?

Congrats! If you can share which cities you're heading to in Ireland, I'd be happy to share a few recs, DM works too!

The gold tooling on the cover replicating Kintsugi is a really beautiful touch. No spoilers, but each of the sketches relate to stories throughout the book! Very easy to read too, which always helps! (reposted with alt text!)

I recently finished @stewartbrand.bsky.social‘s book Maintenance: Of Everything My mind is now focused to making sure I tend to things when needed and before issues pop up. It’s been quite a mind shift; and a great book too. press.stripe.com/maintenance-...

Stripe Press — Maintenance

An in-depth exploration of maintenance, and a powerful argument for its civilizational importance.

👋 excited to use it. Do you have a sense of when waitlist invites might be sent out?

Cirrusly good for data sovereignty!

There’s a baby squirrel in the tree in our backyard. It’s been to visit every day the past 2 weeks or so. Decided to name it Russell - does a great job shaking the leaves and branches!

In hindsight, sorry I sent that your way. I can’t imagine complaining, then being given a chance to talk to the developer *right here* and then blocking them because 🤷‍♂️

That’s what I’ve been looking at solving a part of with @loggedin.fyi; and @atpassport.net is doing something similar - showing users they can login with their Atmosphere account. It’s a hard nut to crack, but it will get better the more we focus on the problem.

Alex McRoberts @alex.mcroberts.me · 03/10/2026

@chadtmiller.com is fairly receptive to feedback too, so I’m sure he’ll be open to hearing user feedback here.

Eesh. I missed that post before I replied.

Alex McRoberts @alex.mcroberts.me · 03/10/2026

Cross posting would be one solution (post to grain, it posts over to Bluesky). The new Atmosphere section in the Bluesky app should help too!

Alex McRoberts @alex.mcroberts.me · 03/10/2026

Think that could be the way.

Endpoints make sense. I’d probably disable uploads with errors, to zero out uploads. Might be a useful approach for PDS built for sensor data.

Alex McRoberts @alex.mcroberts.me · 03/10/2026

Could a PDS be text only, and not support blobs? /cc @pds.dad

Jira's "updated Description" UI is *so brutal*, I just got Cursor to build me a visual diff tool like Github's PR Review. ✱Much✱ better.

Nevermind that. I just can't believe they found the reference star that is used for the star emoji, and it looks just like it!

Casually referred to my colleague as "Mr. MBA 2000". He asked for PowerPoint slides, and since we're a Google Docs shop, the whole team had a chuckle (including him).

Chance to auto populate one link into this list, if a username is a website too? Easy for domain names; maybe a bit harder for subdomain names (like my own!)

I am about *this* close to buying an Xbox just to play Ace Combat.

Yep, fully agree with you there.

Alex McRoberts @alex.mcroberts.me · 02/10/2026

Yeah, preferences is what I was thinking of. Totally agree on the Bluesky settings, owned by Bluesky not fitting in Spaces!

We live right by a forest; and we often hear them. One time, one landed right on my garden fence, and I only noticed it when i parked the car, looked up and it was 2 meters away from me. Couldn’t get a photo quick enough, but it flew a few more metres away and …
