*Enter Plan Mode*

[An hour of intense decision making]

*Start Plan*

“Ahh this should take awhile, finally I can take a break”

[4 minutes later]

“Ahh fuck”

You can now visualize how a color palette distributes across OKHsv, OKHsl, OKLCh and CIELab, and compare 6 distance metrics side by side. Zero dependencies, raw WebGL2.

Took me 3 years to make something I wasn't too embarrassed to share 🙃

As someone who started building a color palette manager and then gave up when I realized how hard it was to visualize color spaces like I wanted… this is really fucking cool.

Permissioned Data Diary 2: Buckets The second in a series of posts building up a solution to permissioned data on atproto. We introduce buckets: a new protocol primitive for creating a shared social context.

new blog post on permissioned data in atproto! this one introduces "buckets", the protocol-level primitive for shared access control. I walk through two approaches that don't quite work and land on something that I think does

let me know your thoughts!

I literally have no clue what this is, but the DID in the url and everything you've shown so far makes me *very* interested.

Jack Dorsey left because the bluesky team fought for your right to block them.

Do you have any specific plans on the underlying tech you'd want to see used for the voice channels? Thinking about trying it out and hacking on it this weekend.

@dollspace.gay Hey Doll! What's your long-term goals with concord? Is it more of an experiment or do you see yourself building and running it long term? Are PRs welcome?

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.

Exactly right.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

Every possible angle.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

This is Minneapolis:

I’m at a major healthcare clinic (just here for a friend) and overheard the front desk staff mention they’ve had 97 missed appointments today.

People aren’t getting medical care bc they’re afraid to leave home.

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.

People who aren't in Minnesota might not know that if you drive or walk past pretty much any school, there's going to be a group of people, parents and childless, standing guard to make sure the kids are safe from feds. It's pretty remarkable. And very disturbing. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I’d like to hear how it goes for you. I’ve been thinking about swapping to local LLMs but I don’t have the hardware. What models and hardware are you considering?

"I have a decent fluency in LLMs, and they have utility, but the absurd degree of over-hype, the way they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."
