SpaceX just launched the 14th Starship test flight, and it's now successfully in orbit for the first time. This is an amazing achievement, and I absolutely detest how Musk has ruined this sort of thing both for me and for humanity.

Fictional worlds and roleplay are the center of the universe. Seems right.

u know how we all carry around these devices called “phones” that are only like 1% “phone” anymore? ok good, now understand that a similar semantic shift is occurring with the word “intelligence”

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal
Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

the leap from traditional software development to agentic software development is like when digital photography overtook film you can now make SO much software so easily (even non-developers) like how anyone can take infinite photos without having to consider restraints of film (cost, time, skill)

To non-techies who avoid trying Atmosphere apps because they're not polished: I encourage you to meet them halfway by trying apps that look appealing, give feedback. You can help make a difference, help shape app. Example: I'm encouraged by @skyreader.app 's responses to my feedback.

After yesterday's thoughts on more customized OAuth login screens, we've stylized our PDS to distinguish it better and offer more Security Details tailored to the requesting site. Instead of a generic warning, it will now say which site is requesting access, and what it means for your password. 🔒
reverie.house is requesting authorization. Signing in here will confirm your identity through the rpg.actor server and provide reverie.house with limited access to your account. Your password will not be shared with reverie.house, and its requested permissions can be reviewed or revoked.

So, several months ago, when it became clear that the Anthropic settlement was designed to slice up payouts between the author and the publisher, I sent an email to them via my editor that, as the sole copyright owner of the works in question, I expected them to forward any payment they get to me.

We should be more brave on saying "Atmosphere Account" regardless of people understand it or not. Just like Fediverse bros did. Atproto can't be a common thing if people are too afraid to say it.
