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.

Justin Erickson @larakin.systems · 27/09/2026

This is fantastic. Well done and thank you.

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."

My cheapest possible little server is handling the 2607% more traffic reasonably so far. thanks for the load testing 😄

Justin Erickson @larakin.systems · 26/09/2026

Im excited that someone is seeing it! now I have to actually make it work. thats scary.

Justin Erickson @larakin.systems · 26/09/2026

Wow, I was wondering what that massive bump in traffic was. I'm not sure id say the app is ready for regular use (yet!), but feel free to play until it dies!

Justin Erickson @larakin.systems · 24/09/2026

@poe.atpota.to what are your thoughts on using public records such as rpg.actor avatars. ex: If a game was to have NPCs around could they be pull randomly from recent rpg.actor records on the jetstream? Im not sure how I feel about it. one hand, ts public, so go for it... but consent...

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)

No, I was just stupid and went nuts with expensive models. I'm just dabbling as well.

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.
