You're welcome! It's well worth the money! I think I'm north of 50hours. Gets kind of repetitive at the end but still a lot of fun to Terraform a planet

New update is pretty fun! I haven't played the new worlds yet but they have a fully fire one with no ice and a fully water/ice one. So you can do stuff like drop ice chunks and or space mirrors/shades

Big agree! As someone who has been using git for 9 years, jj hasn't clicked. As someone training juniors on git for at least 6 I can very much so see why it does for so many and is a better fit. All I ever see is excitement from people finding a tool they can use easier and talking about that

what do yall think are the most impactful things we could do in the Bluesky app to support atproto builders?

I think there is prob more on the front of selling "Sign in with atmosphere" that will be needed. But I think everyone using similar screens will help build that trust and is a great first step towards explaining the idea of "You have one account on the internet that you own"

people feeling comfortable logging in to an account they already have on other atproto apps if they see a familiar login that they experience when logging into an atproto app they already trust with their password (Bluesky).

Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 8h

Want to build atproto applications in this manner as well. Added bonus is I think it would help in the long run show a bit more that Bluesky is an application on the Atmosphere, and you are logging into a service provider instead of the Bluesky app, which in turn might help...

there's still some pain points with the 2 week max auth. I think if Bluesky was dogfooding it, it could help improve that experience, whether it's TMB or client assertion backend since that would probably have to be the path for the social app to use OAuth. Will give better experience to devs who...

Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 8h

I'm not sure if it's the most impactful, but I think probably moving the social-app to use OAuth. OAuth is the chosen/recommended path for auth, and it's really solid as is. But I think for atproto apps building in the style of the social-app (XRPC proxying, client holds auth)...

We want to make it easier for creators to link out and attract financial support, so we're exploring a new feature that lets you add links on your profile. They show up as buttons under your bio.

oof I did not realize they increased in price so much. I want to say mine fully loaded was closer to the $1.6k ballpark. Is a harder sell there, but it really is a good investment

Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 9h

I bought one full price in 2021-ish and it is going strong and I haven't ever thought of getting a different chair. They are pricey, and uh not an accountant. But rumor is you can also write them off to help a bit. They also ship them fully assemble which is cool

I think that was mostly born from a cult of personality twitter. But I did see the word "rust" enough to finally decide to look into it

We all do things we're not proud of to pay the bills. Sometimes it's maintenance on VB.NET applications to fix websocket issues in the year 2026 🥲

Mostly kidding, just loaded it up in Rider. I do not begrudge anyone for not writing a VB.NET extension for an editor that was created in the last 10 years lol. But thought I'd give it a shot

I have a theory that after VB.NET and the mile long files gave birth to dotnet's love of OOP lol

Once they told me I could write embedded code and drivers with it and a modern package system they had me hook line and sinker. Learning the borrow checker was easier to me than C and makefiles lol

Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 16h

and selling those pros that people care about seems a better tactic to me. May not always be the most affective, but I think it's the best way to go about it in the long run, and always sits better with me.

Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 16h

I think sites like those will attract who they attract and want those features. I think there's probably a bit the "good ol boy system", people who know people. But I personally think there are better more open alternatives out there that have features and reasons to sell besides "xyz sucks"..

110

Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 16h

Personal opinion and all that. I would probably tell my friends or acquaintances about my concerns with it. Personal opinion pt 2 as someone working on alternatives. I think W gets a lot of press, but i think there are others that are more successful and hitting goals.

Boox has always been the goat of modern day eink devices imo. Touch has always been good, and the displays are quick/good quality, and most if not all always have android. 🫣 I just ordered one, so I guess we'll see.

(This isn't about jj, I know I was tweeting about it last night and don't want confusion there. It's very obvious that it's not just smoke and is generally being a better product for most and it's not them selling people on it by saying xyz sucks)

I personally don't think you can sell people on a product/project by saying "xyz sucks, use mine."

Going have to read this later! I feel my coworkers pain more and more every time jj comes up and I think about moving them from TFVC to git in 2021 lol

all click for me and are easy, or I at least know a route to what i want. but I am re loading up some videos and going try jj again. Thanks for sharing!

Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 17h

before me and it like adds something on the same file I'm working on and there's a conflict rebase clicks for me that I am kind of pretending like the new change they did came in before I did my work and I have to make those changes. Moving commits around, squashing, rebasing...

110

Bailey Townsend 🦀 @pds.dad · 17h

All good! Got excited about it, and the way everyone is excited about jj is what keeps bringing me back to wanting to try it. The biggest thing for me is my brain just kind of works with git. Source of the work comes from a commit/physical date. So I know I'm appending to that, if someoen merges..
