All going well on the PDS side of @eurosky.social accounts. We're going slow mainly because folks are having some hiccups with the migration process and our support capacity is limited. Once the migration tool @seabass.bsky.social is working on is ready, we'll go full steam.

okay i significantly overestimated how expensive it was to use claude code
The killer app of atproto is interop
Farcaster post by @dwr: Neynar is acquiring Farcaster. Over the next few weeks, we’ll transfer ownership of the protocol contracts and code repositories, the Farcaster app, and Clanker to Neynar. They will run and maintain everything going forward. Some members of the Merkle team, Varun, and I will step back from day-to-day work on Farcaster and move on to something new. Rish, Manan, and the rest of the Neynar team have been building on Farcaster from the start. Neynar was one of the first Farcaster clients, and its infrastructure now powers much of the developer ecosystem. We think they are the right people to take over leadership of Farcaster and they’ll share their new builder-focused vision soon. This wasn’t an easy decision. Farcaster and the people building on it mean a lot to us. We’re proud of what our team built, and what the community built alongside us. But after five years, it’s clear Farcaster needs a new approach and leadership to reach its full potential. We’re excited to see what Farcaster becomes under Neynar, and we’re looking forward to this next chapter.
Farcaster selling out to Neynar, who did API services on Farcaster.
Neynar seem like decent guys who will have a good understanding of what "open" means. The first test will whether they open-source the client.
Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is educate normal people on complex subjects in ways that are engaging and digestible.
good to see apple finally diversifying their product line! #francethings
one step closer to phasing out lightning connectors from my life after just getting rid of the iphone 14 i'd been using for my US number
only remnants now are the wife's ipad air 2 and my magic keyboard for desktop use... usb-c maximalism is the way!
facing another issue now that i noticed 2 days ago: after signing in again the app crashed and i've been unable to sign-in or use the app ever since, it just keeps crashing
will try uninstalling & reinstalling, but has anyone else experienced anything similar?

This reflective acrylic sheet shows how 1980s illustrators were able to trace real-life objects on the computer. Once it was aligned, it reflected whatever was in front of it over the monitor's display, allowing artists to trace it in a tool like MacPaint or MS Paint. Simple, low tech and effective.
we got a little snow today in paris 🌨️
some new additions to my winter reading list 📚
just signed in again, will let you know if i face any issues! 🙇
Time for my big year end blogpost about the Atmosphere.
From the personal computing perspective, the cloud has been a disaster — but we shouldn't run away from it.
We can solve a lot of problems by connecting our clouds, turning it into atmospheric computing.
“We need a collectivist answer to Big Tech. I'm not just interested in the battles of yesterday; if now is the time of AI, I want a personal AI running on my personal cloud. There is zero reason for us to all become subservient clients to American corporations. The model can change.”
making sure i get in at least one more post on bluesky before 2026 🫡

💯! just very interested as, like you said, someone who's dealt with payments and the various moving parts required to get it working at a product level
personally keen to see if they take the stablecoin route and how that works from a builder standpoint, if it's easier than "trad" fintech
same! really curious to see if it's a blockchain solution, specifically a stablecoin based one, because otherwise not sure how to get around kyc, aml requirements for the spending parts mentioned through any other kind of implementation 👀

so far as i saw, post does not say that; only mentions that a prior attempt was "non-crypto"
but per his goals and a provided screenshot (use of hexadecimal pubkey + modal skin looks like privy sdk), i'm assuming it's on crypto rails as stablecoins are being adopted by banks
i guess we'll see 👀
