I should maybe share with you an in-progress leaflet draft I have, I think it might resonate (i too have faced burnout, depression, and financial insecurity)

I'm going to start announcing things related to node-postgres here instead of on twitter/x. I will potentially post more about node-postgres in general here but at least the major announcements should all be here, not there. Sunsetting the x account.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

Asking questions and going to research and read more is how we learn 😊

For what it's worth, I recently joined the FedID working group at the W3C as an invited expert, specifically to work on FedCM. There's a meeting on Tuesday for it.

See: bsky.app/profile/zick...

Essentially, we don't need browser extensions for that, there's other ways to do this because it's not a key management problem here

This thread gets at a very important distinction that is critical to make. (Content note for subsequent posts: discussion of child sex abuse.)

Could we maybe use ML to spam/ham non-CSAM but socially unacceptable content from actual CSAM?

Germ for atproto has been live for 3 weeks!

We’re keeping πŸ‘€ on your comments as we prioritize next features. But first up has been making sure all of you can log in.

We’re working hard to clean up logging in with atproto. We’ll keep you posted on our progress.

Got questions? We’re right here. 🌱

I've always wanted to understand "the Mastodon API problem". In a nutshell:

"The fediverse built its federation layer on an open standard, but left the client layer to be captured by its dominant provider. The more tools and integrations that get built on top ... the deeper the lock-in becomes."

Pretty standard for Proton, they've done this several times over.

Considering it's a Draft Community Group Report, dated 22 January 2026, it's pretty early days, but it is coming.

Yeah, I think we really need web share target to make full use of this, otherwise it's just triggering essentially the native share card.

Yeah, I thought I should check for W3C specifications for this when I saw what Mastodon was doing, but in typical Mastodon fashion they go off and do their own thing first.
