From the Bluesky #ATconference showing they really are chasing fully automated luxury gay space communism.

There’s a lot of interesting things in the Bluesky ecosystem but the third party dev ecosystem is really struggling because they have nothing like @OpenSats which is funding a robust diverse ecosystem.

This is important when we design systems. Understand that systems are all designed to serve a specific purpose. https://www.anildash.com/2024/05/29/systems-the-purpose-of-a-system/

ATProto NYC Community Hack - Early Presos

This clearly is Trump’s rambling speculation not a policy, as such, but Trump’s suggesting that people convicted of anti-tesla vandalism be sent to El Salvadorian force labor camps created to in prison suspected gang members. The idea of removing Americans from the jurisdiction of the American legal system as part of their punishment for political protest and civil disobedience is really dangerous. If Trump and the government wants to charge people committing anti-tesla vandalism, they should do it with local police, prosecutors, and judges. https://archive.is/5q8wP

Hungary passes law banning LGBTQIA+ pride events and implementing automated facial recognition to fine anyone who does attend a protest. This won’t just happen in Hungary and is a major threat to civil rights. https://truthout.org/articles/hungary-bans-lgbtq-pride-events-approves-facial-recognition-to-track-attendees/

I think we’re seeing the beginning of the end of international professional conferences in the US. It doesn’t take that many people being denied or detained for people to start refusing to attend conferences in the US. Canada and Mexico are probably the biggest beneficiaries of this shift. If you combine this with the cutting of research funding and making it harder for academics and entrepreneurs to come to the US, it’s like the current administration is doing its best to sabotage the country’s future.

Boycott IETF 127

The IETF LLC has decided to continue to hold meetings in the US. Voice your disagreement with this decision here.

The state of US politics is disturbing. Trump is going after people in a cruel and vindictive way that authoritarians do when they think they’re invincible. Yet the Democrats, especially Chuck Schumer can’t figure out what to do about it. They’re not even a loyal opposition. Instead they’re standing on the sidelines watching the American system of separation of powers get replaced with a unitary power of the executive. Despite this being the fundamental justification of legitimacy for the while government. I recommend folks read this essay by @Cathy Gellis calling on Schumer to resign. It’s compelling argument.

I’m heading to the first ATprotocol conference in Seattle this weekend. I’m really curious what they’ve been up to over in Bluesky land. I think it’s important to know what other protocols are doing. They’ve got some things really right, they’ve had tremendous growth in users and use. There are experiments in groups, alt apps, etc….

The stories of people caught in the kafkaesque American immigration system are horrifying. This is an example of an unaccountable state with blatant disregard for people’s humanity. https://medium.com/@jasminemooney/youre-not-a-criminal-but-you-re-going-to-jail-my-ice-detention-story-as-a-canadian-citizen-08b4fa77a15c

Interesting, the French government released an open source Notion competitor.

Crime has gotten so bad in Wellington that some residents are considering locking their doors! Not everyone of course but some people no longer feel comfortable with the idea of never locking their doors. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/545122/residents-lock-doors-amid-police-hunt-over-wellington-home-invasion In all seriousness, it is very sad for the people who were assaulted, but the nature of how safe it is that it’s national news that some people feel the need to lock the doors of their homes.
