A sticker saying @ATProtocol in blue letters for the @AT and the rest in grey

If you're in London for the ATProto meet up next month we have a load of these to give out 😁

🙌

I'm not sure if we're thinking of the same person; but anything written by a certain former Daily Mail columnist, who now writes for The Times, gives me those vibes too...

That was a 'fun' evening of speed-coding! Definitely not anyone's fault, but it's a shame there are folks out there who are intent on spamming and scamming others.

Yeah, I hope they'll like it, and with better push notifications I'm hoping the dwell time will be better

I'm really quite chuffed with this release. Adding boops clears one of the big items off my list from when I started the project, and, like media messaging, it's designed not to limit users' interactions with the wider Bluesky audience.

Big shout-out to @tranquil.farm for their fantastic PDS, too!

I've been trying for a long time to land on a name that adequately describes the 'orange one'. His latest round of whining about Spain and the UK reminds me of a spoiled child who has been told 'no' for once. Therefore, I think the name that fits best is to swap the word 'President' for 'Petulant'.

Have you looked in the mirror lately, Mister Pot?

You mean you don't know, Nige? 😆

I've never had a user complain about this, but it's a bit of an irritation each time I need to do testing (or it was before I added the extra URL that password)

"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"

Trump says 'sad to see' US-UK relationship is not what it was U.S. President Donald Trump said it was "sad to see" the relationship with Britain was "not what it was" after ​Prime Minister Keir Starmer initially held off giving military support to the strikes ‌a...

Trump is playing pure politics here, sad little man. As for France, did they allow the US to use airbases in France for defensive purposes? Oh, that's right, the US has no bases in France after they were rightly asked to leave by the French after WW2. We should follow their example.

Ah I see, no I was talking about translations within an app

I don't know what that is

Well done! You've both worked tirelessly to make Tangled a thing. I hope it continues to grow!

That was a long day of writing translations. Maybe next time I'll add them as I go 🤔

I guess this was always going to happen; it was only a matter of time before someone built a machine to write code.

Just like someone built a machine that could make shoes.

That doesn't mean there aren't skilled people making beautiful and well-made footwear today. I am one of those cobblers.

All I would say to those developers is: be careful; when you don't use something actively, you lose it. It's quite easy to read code and make sense of it, but if you don't actively write code, you will begin to lose that ability.

There are a lot of career developers who write code simply as a job, the ones who never open an IDE when they're off the clock. For them, writing code with AI in this 'hands-off' approach must feel great. But for someone like me, the fun is in the process that gets me to the end result.

I didn't become a software developer simply as a job, I write code because I love it. The excitement that comes when the program compiles and runs perfectly, or the sense of accomplishment from finally fixing that persistent bug. It's something I never get bored with feeling.

Today I used the Ralph Wiggum technique (mandated by my client) to implement a story, and I feel so deflated. I like to use AI as a (usually) helpful assistant; it adds to the fun of writing code. But today, that fun was completely sucked out of the process.

My point exactly, the BBC these days feels as though it's staffed by a bunch of halfwits cosplaying broadcasters, it's lost all gravitas.

I stopped watching the BBC and live telly, then cancelled my TV licence, after their "news" became little more than a loudspeaker for the right-wing. The BBC used to stand for unimpeachable quality; this avoidable incident is another example of how far they've fallen and how little they care.

This needs to be shared and repeated; all the boat crossings are a direct result of Brexit. If you talk to anyone who is thinking of voting for Reform, please tell them about this.

I'm sure the people of Clacton are pleased to see him taking their concerns so seriously...

Amazon deforestation on pace to be the lowest on record, says Brazil Brazil’s latest satellite alerts indicate that deforestation in the Amazon has continued to fall into early 2026, extending a downward trend that began after a sharp rise earlier in the decade. Data…

Brazil’s Amazon deforestation continues to decline into early 2026, with August–January clearing at its lowest for the period since 2014.

Annual detected loss also fell to a 2014 low, with the Cerrado seeing declines too. Officials credit stronger enforcement, but long-term risks remain.
