Hello World from the PLC organization (plcred.org)! The org was soft-announced back in March at AtmosphereConf. We've been working through logistics step by step and now have a public web presence we can point to.

I'm excited to announce that the PLC Organization now has a statute! And a bank account! And a @standard.site publication! All the important stuff. The PLC Org is an independent Swiss Association meant to operate the PLC directory, which collects and distributes signed updates to atproto accounts.

If you had to host PDS, Relay, labeler, CDN, client, and an AppView just to run an Atmosphere application, I would never recommend AT Protocol and tell you to find a better stack. But like the Atmosphere solves the cold start problem for having users, it does the same for devs.

The Atmosphere needs a distinct brand identify, better tools for builders, a new UX for users, and a small empowered group willing to build it all.

Atproto Spaces, formerly known as “the permissioned data protocol,” is a new extension to atproto that enables non-public data. The alpha is now officially open. Here’s how to develop with it and what to expect as we work towards the full release.

If you are a person who likes using social media to find links to other interesting things, Bluesky is currently the only good-sized social media network that *isn’t* actively discouraging external links.

Giving users control is great, and I don't really use macOS myself, but the security popups are the laziest and most broken feature I've ever seen from Apple. It scares people and puts the burden entirely on the user and app developer. There's no provision for an app to explain what it's doing!
macOS privacy permission dialog for the app “Ghostty,” asking to access data from other apps. Buttons: “Don’t Allow” and “Allow.”

This is the way. Get people using apps that interest them. The more gateways the better; and it doesn’t have to be focused on social media.
