Announcing Medium Place 2, a proof of concept demonstrating a social media ecosystem in which every user controls the content they publish and consume. Unlike traditional social media platforms, MPlace2 does not manage user accounts. You bring your own from BlueSky or another ATmosphere site.
Splash page for MPlace2, says MPlace2 Everything is fine!

The ballroom and the arc de Tromp are just the projects the courtiers use to distract senile orange from doing something much worse like nuking Denmark to take Greenland. The man really is a vengeful vegetable at this point.

If we were going to do something gross and tacky. How about a 44 foot high Horga'hn?

There is actually a chair for Trump to sit in during court proceedings, this one in fact. If you want to buy one for yourself, lookup 'Trump Cuck Chair'. Apparently that model is now saught after by men who are into a particular humiliation fetish.

The Kochstitutes (person paid to lie by Charles Koch) will continue to claim 100% renewables is 'impossible' right up to the point where they are 100% of generation, 100% of the time. Most of them are on one of these:

Just struck me that what Farage did at school, telling non white kids to 'go home', mocking the Holocaust in front of Jewish kids is pretty much what Trump has been doing for the past year.

The Kimmel quote the MAGA NAZIs are claiming is reason to force Disney to sack him or they pull the ABC broadcast licenses. Meanwhile Brian Kilmeade has incited over a dozen attacks on the homeless people he said should be murdered but that isn't cause for an FCC action. Every MAGA is a NAZI.

The people telling us it is a witch hunt are the same people who told us Trump never drew this picture of a nude child with a love letter to his friend Jeff.

This isn't a drawing of a 'nude woman', if you look at it, the drawing is very clearly that of a nude child. And Trump's text looks to me like an admission that he was raping children with Epstein. Of course they are denying Trump wrote it, but they always lie and this is obviously genuine.

No, I am not writing a WebView for BlueSky. What I am working on here is getting a non-shtty looking stylesheet together for MPlace2.social which adds Medium/Substack like article centered discussions to the ecosystem. Producing a copy of BlueSky is a way to refine the tooling.

The countries negotiating are mostly countries like Vietnam which do have high tariffs on US goods. High tariffs are not unusual in third world economies. They probably won't get a break from Trump but they are likely to rethink their approach with other countries.

Boston Logan international terminal, 10:45 on a Tuesday. It is usually absolutely packed. US companies have shut down travel to save costs because the Trump Slump has already started and people are avoiding US flights with the DOGE-ified FAA

5/ The DNS handles can be used to access a user's personal place if they have one. My handle is @phill.hallamber.com so you would expect to find my place at phill.hallambaker.com

3/ You can view the specification describing the concepts on the site itself. And you can comment on individual sections. [Thanks to @molly.wiki for giving me the push to complete this, its only been 30 years since I proposed it]

2/ The punch list of things to fix is rather long. Looks like I need to think about getting help! The plan here is the code is all open source but maybe people would back a kickstarter and I could hire some folk to work on it...

1/ Progress on Places - a platform that allows people to set up their own place on the web or a meeting place for a group where people can interact using the same DNS handle they use here. No need to create another account. This is the frontdoor to Mplace2.social

Nice, I have always made the best monitor setup possible a priority. This is my current monitor setup, triple matched 42" 4K IPS displays. Can't go OLED because Visual Studio would result in chronic burn in. Whole thing cost less than my first LCD display, a 24"-er.

Once more, with feeling. Got kicked in the butt because I didn't realize that adding an _atproto TXT record for the site handle was going to override the wildcard A record.

Progress cleaning up MPlace2. This will be the login screen. "No need to create an account! Sign in using your @nything handle, the same username you use for Bluesky social" It is still an app-in-white but I am adding the HTML class attributes for the style sheet.

I have no idea which side Paul Graham is taking here but the H1B system has been increasingly abused over the past 20 years and everyone in tech knows it. I joined a startup on an H1B in 1997. That would be impossible today. All the H1Bs are quickly snapped up by bodyshops. 1/
