They probably now think 'Y2K' just refers to that cool nostalgia aesthetic that the kids are currently into

Had this in my Leaflet drafts for a little while and I thought I should finally get this out

AT for dummies
My attempt at a "ATmosphere for non-techies" post

Tbh I think they might understand this point and still think it's tainted anyway. Forking any LLM-assisted code, even if you don't use LLMs much for development yourself, probably still makes you a tech bro douchebag in the eyes of these people

my partner was telling me about this game they remember from childhood, it's like mostly entirely scrubbed from the internet, but I was able to dig up two pieces of lost footage showing gameplay. one is a clip from The One Show talking about the game and showing off a bit of gameplay

To reiterate on a point I've made before, I really wanna see more Neocities-style unhedged rejection of the post-FB web in the AT Protocol world. I imagine a lot of people may see that approach as being more unserious or impractical, but I really do think it's worth trying

@standard.site as a whole. I think it really showed how much AT works best with versatile formats that aren't just trying to copy already existing ones

jacob @edgy55.selfhosted.social · 02/10/2026
It feels like I'm one of the only people who remembers just how much sincere goodwill there used to be around what companies like Meta and Spotify were pushing. Like the kinda rhetoric you now often see on Neocities or Bear Blog would have pretty much been socially unacceptable back in 2014

Really I think there's a pretty good chance that AT's spaces fully launching could end up being a death blow to fedi, because those are probably going to be way more sophisticated and user-friendly than whatever privacy solutions fedi has

It's going to eventually result in something like a digital fall of the Berlin Wall

@leaflet.pub Some tag pages can end up feeling pretty cluttered when a publication often uses the same tag. Something that allows for more compactness would be pretty nice

Wow you really outdid yourself with the option to disable infinite scroll. I was expecting the option to just have a simple "load more" button, but this might actually be a bit better

Yes I agree and I don't really want a universal profile lex either. What I'm saying that it would be ok to have standardized profile lexicons for certain types of platforms like those for long-form blogging, even if one universal lex may not be it

jacob @edgy55.selfhosted.social · 28/09/2026
Simply because I think it would be good to reduce reliance on Bsky's profile lexicon. It's fine to still use it as a fallback but I think we need to get more out of the habit of assuming that those curious about any AT app will automatically also use something like Bluesky

A Stansite profile lexicon would be pretty cool imo

Lol I like how you call number counts 'bloat'. Even ignoring the psychological/mental health concerns, they honestly just look pretty bad when you really think about it

I think there's a chance that spaces fully launching eventually results in something of a surprise for them

Looks really nice! Would be cool to be able to have this in reader as well in order to accommodate non-Leaflet blogs

Yeah I think strongly valuing personalized pages/clients is actually way more important than some might think when it comes to getting people on board with the technology. It's always nice to see AT devs who understand this and I would love to see more of that energy going forward

I've pretty much just fully ditched capital s streaming and decided to mostly just use local files. It's been great for me

I mean I at least better understand why early Google was well-liked. My point is that there was a lot of other stuff that many now act like could only be believed in by obnoxious tech bros while seemingly forgetting that they actually used to be very widely popular and respected

jacob @edgy55.selfhosted.social · 09/09/2026
I mean it feels like we've also been kinda memory-holing the era when stuff like Facebook and Spotify were sincerely considered objective net goods for humanity. I feel like that may have actually been a bit more prominent tbh

Basically it's the difference between what the anti-AI hardliners think vibe coding is vs what vibe coding actually is

Tbh I think even a lot of the anti-data center protesters might still turn out to be a bit too sympathetic to the tech in the eyes of these people

They recently went after one of the actual nicest people in the AT community just for using Claude for a project. That may be one of the clearest signs for me that this shit has gone way too far

At the very least I wish these people would eventually start spending that kinda energy on attacking actual evil bastards like Mark Zuckerberg and not any dev who thinks LLMs can be even a little useful for code

God I want to see this ship. Being highlighted by a software as mainstream as Google Chrome would be really nice for AT
