Do I know anyone who can connect me to the good people at Rasberry Pi? I want to work with them and have recently applied. Anything to help me get a foot in the door would be appreciated. I’m building ai models for low resource languages and have years of technical experience across emerging tech.

Music is uniquely positioned to paint a picture of the time period it’s produced in. We feel nostalgia with music because it passively informs us of the time it was made. Today’s music; (everything from the tech used to produce it to distribution tools) betrays the dissonance of global empire.

@vintageobscura.net @vintageobscura.net Today I realized your whole feed is a live track list of what’s playing on stream and that’s dope as hell I want to know how you created that workflow.

Overwhelming to hear about how much the AT community showed up today at IETF. I wish I could've been there. I'm sure many people deserve special thanks, but I do want to highlight @bmann.ca for helping to get people there. I feel so fortunate to be a part of such a great group of people.

at some point i think one of the companies will start recording sync+track data from dj setups installed in venues and attempt to train a model to do it and, i %100 believe it's both possible to train the model to do this & that any club which would offer you a non-human DJ should not be attended

Also fun little note. I usually make all the music for my videos from scratch with my modular synth setups. I record straight to sd card via resampling. 😁

Spent the day with Yusuf Abdul Qadir in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. PART 2 in comments! Yusuf has a long career of designing equitable solutions for connectivity in African nations & is uniquely qualified to speak on the shortcomings of global human rights technology community. Watch & please share. 🧙🏾‍♂️

🎯 the one gift from the far right going mainstream is that it has given “permission” or cover for a big part of the population to show their true colors. I’m glad we can clearly see where their line is cause mine never changed

People that shit on Bluesky because the “critical mass is on Twitter and that’s it’s best feature” …the best feature of Bluesky is the ability to rebuild the “critical mass”without the desperate capitalism. Twitter’s best days are behind it, recognize that and demand more for yourself.

However, in recent years with the rise of far right governments digital imperialism has rapidly revealed itself to western civ. I’m fascinated by the disillusionment of western society where previously a veneer of altruistic saviourism once hypnotized the masses.

Planning episode 1 of my upcoming debut into tech journalism as an independent journalist. Initially I’m focused on process/ consistency. I’m thinking one 45 min ep per week, 4 weeks then revisit format with feedback from folks here on Bluesky. 1st ep outline: Tech Bros & The World They’re taking

New blog post! How Streamplace Works: Syndication Up until now, most Streamplace users have been using one big server at stream.place. With Streamplace 0.8, you can actually replicate streams on your own nodes. Borrowing a term from broadcast TV, we call this syndication. Here's how it works:

Dear AT protocol people: I always strive to work on tech that I think is actually useful. Long ago I made the mistake of loving comp sci & then going deep on philosophy in grad school.. So I have a neurotic need to work on pivotal human tech. If anyone needs help, I’m here. The nihilists must lose.

Hi butterfly people, I’m highly considering video/audio streaming exclusively to Bluesky & YouTube. I’ll be discussing technology, politics and the future of civilizations. What are people’s favorite streaming tools for Bluesky and any good folks already streaming that I should follow?

Non western innovators are focused on distribution and network effect. Impact leads to revenue generation.

techboiafrica @doom.bsky.social · 12/04/2025
One thing I’ve realized in conversations about cultural backgrounds and the competitive field of energy. Innovators from the west are hyper obsessed with newer forms of energy despite any impracticality. The pursuit of new means somehow more than impact.

I really think grass roots American tech needs to wake up & realize it’s ignoring the most obvious of pipelines. Private ➡️ military ➡️ allies killing brown ppl ➡️ USA domestic oppression of civilians. Multiple money trails you can easily examine. It’s time to build more hardware & community systems

SO STOKED after just getting off a call with @doom.bsky.social Community mesh networks, "leapfrog" communities in Africa and global south. Just sharing some @atprotocol.dev opportunities in this space as well. Local PDS per mesh network router? Have to tinker with this a bit more.

TIL 327 ppl are responsible for 1/3 of all shoplifting arrests in NY. In a city of 10 million - 327 ppl stand above the rest - accounting for 6000 total arrests. I’d pay their collective bail just to observe quietly at the “professionals” bar I assume they all frequent.

The anthromorphization especially by rich white tech longtermists is purposefully misleading. Invent a new boogey man that must be engaged with only by their altruistic guidance. Read: it’s our “white man’s burden” to make sure we slow down “access to ai” not the development of it as a technology.
