We got a sticker table going at the @atproto.to meetup (There are some non-atproto things in there too. We are an inclusive bunch! Yay protocols!)

Great article by Oana Olteanu “Against Usefulness” that centers @folkcomputer.bsky.social while describing “the stage before useful, who works on it, and who pays for it, so that the next generation of useful companies has something to stand on”

For every domain you buy this month I’m donating £1 to help rebuild Venezuela after the earthquakes. My in-laws’ homes survived with only a little damage, but so many people lost everything. I’m sure you have an idea in need of a domain nestling away somewhere, marque.at is the place to get it!

Felt like a total peasant at the cheese monger yesterday 😅 The lady was patiently walking us through flavour profiles of a variety hard to soft cow/goat/sheep cheese (earthy, nutty, etc) from various terroir and I was struggling to fit them into my pre-existing framework of “orange or marble” 🧀
