Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 22hI know I'm not the first person to be confused by this, but why don't my standard.site posts just show up when I try a different atproto blogging platform? I am poking around on @pckt.blog and expected my existing posts that I made on leaflet to *just appear*. Any progress on imports @brookie.blog? 230
Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 28/09/2026Ok one positive thing about our unusually muggy weather for the last 2-3 months is that my favorite tree, the jacaranda, hung onto its blooms for longer than usual. Instead of dropping them all in mid-July like they usually do, we’ve gotten to enjoy them through the end of September 110
Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 25/09/2026TIL not to stand under a palm tree during ant season 😣 As I was moving my baby from the stroller to a carrier, she reached up to grab a palm frond and started playing with it while I was strapping her in. I thought it was a great distraction until I noticed the ants suddenly all over me and her! 110
Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 23/09/2026y'all. babies *actually* say "nom nom nom" when they're learning to chew food it is adorable! 😆 000
Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 23/09/2026I hate how targeted new parents are. Since I'm a huge privacy weirdo, I blocked as much tracking as possible. It mostly worked, but the funny thing is that it just pushed the targeting to my partner - he's the one getting the ads for padded helmets to protect our baby's head while she crawls 🙄 000

Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 19/09/2026This is the only article I’ve seen so far mentioning that all of the recent incidents of AI hacking from the big firms were CTF exercises run by the *same* AI cybersecurity firm who messed up the sandbox and allowed internet access. I wish the headlines told that story. www.cnbc.com/2026/09/18/g...cnbc.comGoogle's Gemini becomes latest AI model to break out and hack computer systemsThe disclosure comes as scrutiny over misbehaving artificial intelligence intensifies in Washington and Silicon Valley. 051
Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 16/09/2026I know the #permissioned-data spaces-alpha is indeed an alpha and much will change, but have there been DNS changes today that removed the wildcard for handle.spaces-alpha.bsky.network? I can't resolve my test account's handle anywhere except the PDS login screen today. cc @dholms.at 270

Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 05/08/2026Real class acts over there. Good thing they’re focusing on the important work of filling their users feeds with newsmax content instead of wasting resources stopping child abuse images in ads. 010
Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 05/08/2026Made my first PR on @tangled.org today. I like the selector at the top to compare across branches vs forks. It was still confusing to me tho.. I started the PR from my fork and thought it would go to upstream when I chose compare forks. 030

Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 01/08/2026bsky needs the ability to mute for a period of time, not forever. mastodon has this and it’s so useful when I need a temporary break. just realized I muted someone last year when they had a particularly prolific posting day and I wanted to see other people in my feed… and then I forgot to undo it. 3407
Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 31/07/2026hell yesssss! I have been thinking about this very same thing from the local community angle. Another thing that keeps people on instagram who don't want to be there is because that's the defacto "website" for many local businesses and groups they want to keep up with. 291
Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 31/07/2026Reading @tessa.germnetwork.com's follow-up post got me all misty-eyed in so many places 🥹 I know I'm catching up and y'all have already read this probably, but I just have to leave my reactions anyway because it was sooo good <3 181

Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 23/07/2026I'm playing around with @happyview.dev this week and its experimental permissioned data space stuff. It doesn't write any permissioned data to the PDS yet, does it? I'm running a PDS with the permissioned data branch right now for testing, but it doesn't seem like I'll be able to hook that up yet 290
Reposted by Jesse KarmaniEmelia @thisismissem.social · 21/07/2026Said something interesting to a friend today when they asked about different open social web protocols. It might be a little bit controversial, but: I think that ActivityPub is decentralized in principle, whereas AT Protocol is decentralized in practice. 🧵 211118
Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 20/07/2026rhosf.leaflet.pub/3mqsznoy55k2s/ Such an interesting post by @tessa.germnetwork.com!

Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 25/06/2026whew! Okay, I think I've finally fully migrated that account to the PDS I deployed. It failed on setting prefs using goat but finished on PDSMoover.. but for some reason PDSMoover deleted the rotation key I had added as a safety backup before I started the migration. Had to use the recovery key 😬 010

Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 19/06/2026Being a parent has forced me to use more Meta apps again as so many parent groups are on facebook or whatsapp. I hate it and still try to minimize what I have to participate in, but it just fuels my motivation even more.

Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 16/05/2026they do this on purpose. same with federation support for threads. hide the feature and have it off by default, then claim there’s no demand for it by users. the features they want to push like AI are on by default and in users faces constantly. it’s sooo obvious 🙄 010
Jesse Karmani @jesseplusplus.com · 15/05/2026How thoroughly disappointing. Do Europeans in the know think this happened due to lack of understanding or corruption?
