me every 10 minutes, watching the nasa livestream: heh, atmosphere

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

northern coffeeworks. spacious, delicious, great vibe

going from the cold existential void of space to the warm lively pacific coast.. the whiplash must b crazy

my take has morphed into: name it whatever makes the most sense - i think atmosphere account / at account is good! but i expect close to 0 normal users to remember or care.

nobody(except us nerdz) thinks in terms of accounts. whether we call it an internet handle or an atmosphere account, regular users will say "follow me on bluesky" - "oh yea i have a bluesky"

from their pov it's an implementation detail - they're logging in for the app.

the app is what they'll say.

but for thr users who do learn, "atmosphere account" or "at account" is better, i think you've convinced me of that.

in general, i don't think relying on user education to scale something up is a good idea. it's better to rely on intuition - meet people where they are

but now that i'm processing, i think my argument boils down to "most people will not learn what it is, regardless of what we name it"

i get where you're coming from, but chatgpt is a singular app, and an atmosphere account is a concept that transcends apps. it's a higher order thing that folks aren't used to (yet)!

at the same time: do we want to trade familiarity for confusion + education?

my take on this is that no regular user knows what an Atmosphere is, so "internet account", while less accurate, is more accessible in terms of adoption

love when websites operate in the nude (run on bare metal)

ooo nice

til that any atmosphere app could unceremoniously nuke all of your pds data (across all apps) if it wanted to!

i guess this is a reminder to be careful w your logins!!
