Lots of awesome OS for the PDS posts flying around today, but what about a PDS in the OS? Here's a peek at the native Linux rewrite of @aetheros.computer, built on NixOS with PDS backed user accounts and experimental support for spaces. Still WIP, but stay tuned for more info later this year...

The Aether OS user welcome screen. Where you can create a local atproto account, login with oauth, or continue as a guest

Here's a short video I'm hoping to include in my @leaflet.pub blog post at debbieohi.leaflet.pub showing a glimpse of how useful it is to have an Atmosphere account. I will also include a link to @cozylittle.house's excellent non-techie explainer as well, of course! lab.leaflet.pub/3mrq6ma5dgs2x

Added a substrate container to @aetheros.computer and now I have a terminal! Loving this interface!

Been working on this Apple Silicon native terminal UI to wrap the Colossal Cave Adventure (350 points) - I played this on my Kaypro II back in the 80s and helped kick start my tech career.

If you select a company/organization but the name is wrong (most likely scenario is that the caPItalizATion is off): you can now request a review and suggest the revised name. 1) open the edit dialogue that contains the wrong name 2) click "Suggest a name correction" 3) fill out your suggestion

I think above all my favorite part of Bluesky’s integration of @standard.site is that the thing itself was made by no one *at* Bluesky - some people got together and made something bigger than themselves, on the network, without anyone’s permission! Now Bluesky is responding to it!

Very cool sounding experiment that’s running on the Atmosphere: “co/core is a place where people share the compute they already own to run AI for each other, instead of renting from a handful of giant providers. The models are open ones that run on the hardware people already have.”

I've seen a lot of chatter today about Instagram ending support for optional End-to-End Encrypted DMs. I helped to lead on cryptography and privacy for E2EE in Messenger and Instagram for many years, until I left around 10 months ago, so it's disappointing to see it being removed from Instagram.
