Why are people so dead set on needing an edit button? Like it takes 5 seconds to repost or proofread before posting?

Everyone acts like the site is unusable without it

Dropping this here:

I need something that self destructs my phone if I ever try to click into an @bsky.app update post to read the comments. Nothing but pain and suffering to be found in there.

How is it possible for a person to have never heard about Rick Rolling until 2026? This person is literally a millennial too

Best part of this process so far has actually been watching the VODs since I didn’t get to watch the conf live. So many interesting people and talks!

Went through and mapped all the speakers based on the schedule on the AtmosphereConf site last night. There’s a few missing (like opening/ closing remarks). If you know who the speaker(s) were for the talks missing linked speakers, feel free to send my way and I’ll get them added.

Have I ever built a front end? No. Am I giving it a try anyway? Yes.

vods.ajbird.net

So far it functionally works (mostly sorta kinda) but haven’t started trying to make it look better yet.

We’ll see where this goes 😅

Data centers' heat exhaust is not raising the land temperature around where they're built A terrible paper and even worse interpretation is threatening to become common wisdom

Okay folks I've responded to the data center heat island paper. It is the worst study on AI and the environment I've ever read, by far. Thank you to @beijingpalmer.bsky.social for flagging. blog.andymasley.com/p/data-cente...

4 freshly planted fruit trees, 1 shrub, and a new garden bed.

Fruit trees planted ✅🌱

why is dirt so heavy 😩

Ignore the weeds in the background. It’s not even April yet, I still have over a month until our last frost date. It’s 85F rn. I shouldn’t be having to weed already 😩

Yellow tulip with red striping in full bloom.

First time growing tulips has been going pretty well, even with them blooming a bit earlier than expected given all the recent warm weather. 🌱

Bought an HP T630 off eBay to add to my homelab set up so I don’t have to run the main pc 24/7 and I’ve just realized it conveniently could host my pds 👀

why is this game so addicting? I need to go touch some grass or something

Recently got engaged to my partner of five years 🥰💕 everyone needs to know that he’s literally my favorite person in this entire world and I am very lucky 😌

Weather forecast showing Today through Monday. Today: sunny, 52–82°F. Saturday: sunny, 51–87°F. Sunday: cloudy, 49–68°F. Monday: partly cloudy, 42–72°F.

respectfully wtf because we’re still over a month out from our last frost date and it literally snowed just a few days ago.

making me run the heat and the AC in the same day is rude

★★★★★ review of Timberborn (2026) • Popfeed I started playing Timberborn a few years ago while it was in Early Access (it just officially released yesterday!) and since it has consistently been one of my favorite games of all time. At this point I think I have well over 500 hours The game is fun, extremely replayable, and all around an incredible gaming experience. With the official release they put out a ton of new content and features and I can’t wait to jump back in a spend an absurd amount of time building a new colony.

Can’t wait to start a new game this weekend now that @timberborn.bsky.social is officially out of early access. My entire personality will be beaver-focused for the foreseeable future.

Prepping to start my first garden at the new house this spring and it’s absurd the amount of money I just spent on dirt.

A image from a chat gpt response where the llm recommends a change to some drafted language where the recommended change is word for word exactly the same as the original draft.

Thank you ChatGPT for all your help, I can’t imagine how this email would’ve turned out without your impeccable feedback.

Never ending drama lol, and thank you for the nostalgia trip!

Also that’s so cool! Really great to hear from someone with such similar experiences to me 😊

Forums: My Introduction to The Internet My first real experiences on the internet were had on forums in the early 2010's. They shaped much of my teenage years and then largely disappeared from my life. With atproto, could they make a comeback?

A brief blog post reminiscing on my early internet experiences on forums, inspired by @malpercio.dev's recent post about his new project atbb, atproto based forums.

What the World Needs Now is Forums Sweet Forums - Mal’s Musings and other thoughts from a forums purveyorI was seven years old when I got my first video game console. It was Christmas, and I actually got two! A GameBoy Po...

I'm finally ready to show off the thing I've been working on: atBB (pre-alpha)!

It's a forum platform built on top of atproto.

I wrote up some thoughts about why I am interested in building forums: pckt.blog/b/mal-s-musi...

Yes! If you open up your blog on leaflet, go to settings > general settings > enter your custom domain under Publication Domains. Then you just have to configure a CNAME record for your domain and Leaflet provides the info on what to add to the record. Pretty straight forward, only took a few mins!

I love atproto bc wdym I can post my @leaflet.pub posts to my @bsky.app and then those can show up immediately on my @blento.app AND people can read these posts from any other compatible atproto blogging site like @pckt.blog ???

Setting Up My First Homelab (& First Leaflet!)

First ever Leaflet?? And a homelab???

Finally setting up my first homelab is sort of dangerous because now I'm thinking insane things like I should host my own pds

I’ve installed Immich AND Jellyfin onto the home server today and started ripping my DVD collection I am unstoppable

Just installed Immich onto my home server (the first thing I've installed!). Time to say goodbye to Google Photos, excited for one less Google product in my life.
