ah. tbh i think i only did it once and firefox sync just applies them on each device I use.

Wait you don't just turn off the ads when you install firefox?

Lab Notes #008: Semble Connections - Cosmik Labs A new way to organize, curate and discover content in the open social web

Read more about Semble Connections below: notes.cosmik.network/3mizhxsz57s22

Okay artists and game devs look at this. Imagine using this to build out a web of cross references for techniques, inspirations, tools, packs/assets, and resources

Whether you’re in a research lab organizing shared references or an artist collecting inspirational materials, connections offer a new way to share and discover quality content on the web!

Connections can also be typed, allowing for more expressive discourse and curation to emerge 🌱

Ever wanted to share an important *connection* between two pieces? Like a thread explainer for a complex paper, or a blog debunking some hyped up claim on social media?

Annoucing Semble Connections: A new way to organize, curate and discover content in the open social web 💥

Shout out to @onedeuxtriseigo.nullpo.dev for inspiring us with some great ideas way back last November

Why 🍞 feels real 👀

devs working with bsky image embeds:

we are planning to bump the image embed blob max size from 1 MByte to 2 MByte. first in the lexicon schema, and then in the Bluesky Social app.

more about impacts, and what this means in terms of lexicon evolution, in this github discussion

Like I got bigger numbers but eh.

I'd go viral a lot then people would be insulting and mean

I would see stuff that would put me in a bad mood even after I closed the app and went outside for a walk.

Even on the worst bluesky day I just go "bah. Stupid" and stop thinking about it

So atproto and artist communities I'm doing a bit of reaearch related to moderation (not necessarily bluesky specific). What would you want to see re: moderation and TOS policies for an artist-centric community?

what if you could navigate unicode characters by visual similarity?

Working on a pretty interesting YouTube video

Oh certainly & that is understandable. Im just coming at it from the context of the original/underlying proposal(establishing consent for XYZ network-level or out-of-network activity)

Rudy highlights opting out of AI as why people should care/get involved but it's much more general/useful than that

to give an update on where that proposal stands:

I got as far as publishing demo lexicons and deploying an example that passes through headers aligned with the IETF AIPREF work last summer: demo.user-intents.org

User Intents as Living Data — A Descriptive Meta-Framework A response to Bluesky's User Intents proposal: instead of prescribing a fixed set of intent categories, treat them as living data and use panproto lenses to map between the vocabularies that different communities will inevitably create.

I was going to go for a walk, but @rude1.blacksky.team nerd-sniped me into writing this, instead.

I'm not upset, though. It turns out collective governance questions are a great lens for grounding/scrupling how we might do on-protocol collective governance.

Okay cool. I appreciate it. I was asking because I interact with most of the android world through GrapheneOS and their security hardening/isolation currently breaks the AI Core & PCS so I was going to try to look into what graphene itself would need to support this on-device inference properly

Maybe a mitigation to this would be to for the proposal process to provide tentative approval of a given proposal. Then a second review process after a reference implementation of the feature is fully built out

This way we can hash out these important impl details without muddying protocol details.

So this would probably be more fair to argue for the `bluesky-social/social-app` UX impl PR than it would be for the protocol level proposal since without app specific impl details there's no way to ever satisfy these concerns.

Like yeah it has no teeth beyond good faith operators and having that be communicated clearly is important but that's a UX issue that needs to be addressed by client apps, not necessarily a critique with the protocol level proposal.

User intents are so much more of a general concept than just for AI training consent and it provides a consistent interface for a lot of things that otherwise are currently left implementation dependent.

ex: inclusion in bridges, inclusion in discover feed, etc

Ooooh awesome. @ me if there's a proposal put forward for this or a PR or whatever. I'd definitely be invested in spending some time helping mould this feature however I can (albeit I'm pretty shit as a web dev so I'd be pretty limited JS/TS wise. any other way tho I can probably help)

It's not about enforcement. It's about consent and holding orgs that violate consent accountable.

It doesn't matter if we can't rigorously enforce this but we can and absolutely should name and shame and bully and boycott those that refuse to respect explicit consent or revocation of consent

I am asking for this for completely selfish, capitalistic, non-altruistic reasons because I think it would help my business and grow the very specific communities I care about. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

You getting some agency back is a bonus.
