That's the revenue. I don't use payment platforms outside of stripe for donations (which aren't included in the above). I think i've had maybe four invoices paid via stripe, and it's setup to be an extra fee on top.

Might just be selection bias, y'know? Like you choose the people you want to be around and all that.

Right, but they're not actively using any of these because you can't use a TLD bare, which I think is what google wanted

All of them do.. I feel like this must be some weird "protect your trademarks" bullshit..

I honestly don't get why these companies are wasting so much money on so many TLDs.. like have you seen google ever really use .google? Why tf would vercel be using .vercel? 😂😂

And yes, of course I wore an opinionated tee for the Girli concert:
Emelia wearing a black t-shirt that says "I am literally just a girl" in pink, with a leather jacket over the top; her collar also visible. Oh, and as something different a full face of makeup, with deep reddish pink lipstick. Her nails are a reddish pink

A couple of photos from tonight's #girli gig in Berlin @ Säälchen
Girli performing on stage illuminated by pink lights (which definitely brings out her pink hair!) with her band; behind them is a sign that reads "Opinionated Pop Music"Another photo of Girli and her band, this one with purple lighting

The docs apparently say that on account delete you should delete all the records even though the identity remains, but in a certain scenario I think it's possible to importRepo & reactivate, and Jetstream won't trigger a full sync but I'd need to double check and verify that

Emelia @thisismissem.social · 07/10/2026
For account events I think it'd be yes, but I'm not 100% sure.

Emelia @thisismissem.social · 07/10/2026
The DID would indeed be the source of truth for identity events. Always felt a little weird the PDS creating & emitting them when it's did:plc or did:web that means they exist.. so I'd probably treat identity events as advisory and go to the source of truth

not to be earnest twice in one day but this has been my life since... april? the downside of being a one-man band is that there’s no one to pick up the slack when the one man is going through it. extra scary when it's how you make a living. anyway, love you all, just fighting my own nervous system

That'll implicitly exclude a bunch of folks who cannot travel due to chronic illnesses, visa issues, etc

Partly nay because they have major issues for very marginalised communities, who do not necessarily have persistent access to devices (e.g., homeless people or at-risk workers)

My schedule is something that continuously confuses humans, and machines often have no chance with it.

I mean, it's pretty hard to forget AI makes mistakes given it's mentioned after every message. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm saying I live on New York time whilst being physically in Berlin, so my device clock is Berlin but that doesn't align with my schedule.
A screenshot of a claude response which literally says "Claude is AI and can make mistakes" after each message.

Try living on a different timezone to your device's timezone; claude gets properly confused 😂 (Still wish claude knew how much time had elapsed since messages)

As does any software, scaling software always comes with difficulties. This just makes a different set of trade-offs. We're also only just seeing non-bsky PDSes getting large enough to hit scaling pains

Emelia @thisismissem.social · 06/10/2026
I'm not sure I follow your line of thinking here? prompt=create is already in the reference PDS which anyone can host.

Generally I'd probably say no change because we'd adjust to that, like no medication will make modern life not be overwhelming. We're in unprecedented times, and it's normal on PHQ-9 to score somewhere low (0-3 or something)
080
Emelia @thisismissem.social · 06/10/2026
That sounds like a PHQ-9 test, BDI-2 or CORE-OM may give a better read, if that's something you're looking at. But yeah, many people score at least slightly on these tests

New PR: PDS: redirect S3 blob downloads to presigned URLs (#5593)
github.com
PDS: redirect S3 blob downloads to presigned URLs by devinivy · Pull Request #5593 · bluesky-social/atproto
com.atproto.sync.getBlob currently streams S3 blobs through the PDS. For S3-backed storage, it now checks account and blob availability, then returns a non-cacheable 307 redirect to a presigned URL...

If women generally got proper medical attention, instead of having our health concerns dismissed by doctors, we might be less likely to listen to the siren call of invasive health surveillance technologies.

You joke, but I've worked in a workplace where that was more or less a thing. We had a cafeteria that was basically just hello fresh meals and it would get mentioned lots.
