Yeah, "fediverse" may sound too geeky now, but not really different from "internet". And you can just say "fedi".

Some people seem to prefer to use "ATProto", which is the protocol powering the Atmosphere, but that just makes "fediverse" sound like a cool slang term in comparison. And what if there are more protocols in the future?

And some spell it as "ATmosphere" in reference to the protocol, which, yeah.

And what about those usernames?

Again, personal preference, but "@ Who @ Where" just makes sense to me. As opposed to "@ my website".

I have several websites, I put my work on them, but none of them are *me*. ATProto-style handles may work for organizations, but the mental model just doesn't fit for me.

The Philadelphia Art Museum, or should we say the Philadelphia Museum of Art, one of the largest art museums in the country, has just hit a reverse uno.
Only months after its grand reintroduction, the historic museum has decided to reclaim its original name while keeping its fresh new logo, a redrawn griffin.

@dennyhenke I absolutely agree that we need to crack down on the excesses and behavior of BigTech. The move fast and break things then ask for forgiveness later garbage was always wrong and should have been stopped long ago. Silicon Valley has changed since I got involved with it quite a while ago, so much so, that I no longer want anything to do with Silicon Valley and big tech, in general, work wise.

Hopefully, the EU and Canada can lead the way to viable open source alternatives to Microsoft, Facebook, social media and the like. I’d like to see the US and state governments drop MS for #LibreOffice, for example. That move would make it easier for a wider public shift.

I have to say that I’m a big Apple products fan. That’s why I’m so disappointed with Tim Cook. Maybe there are other things going on within Apple as you say of which I’m not aware. That would not be good either.

Tim Cook, Apple CEO is causing serious harm to Apple’s brand.

Cook’s presence at the White House screening of Melania on Saturday should be the last straw for Apple shareholders and the Apple Board of Directors. There is nothing to justify his presence other than sheer clueless stupidity.

Cook is harming Apple’s brand through his association with Trump. Cook’s actions:
- Personally gave $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee
- Apple/Cook is/has donated to Trump’s ballroom
- Cook attempting to curry favors from Trump with trivial gifts and attendance at Mara Lago and the WhiteHouse

Cook’s actions will not benefit Apple. Association with Trump always leads to negative outcomes and will only harm Apple’s brand.

There’s no excuse or justification for Cook’s actions. It’s time for Tim Cook to go.

I can't stop smiling, @kevin, @Casey & @pj. The name #theforkiverse is absolutely hilarious. 🤭

This brings back the ease that technology otherwise lacks!

I've been holding back a little while on this one, but Schibsted Marketplace rebranding to Vend?

The name is better, the colours are nice, but the logo? I am not a fan. Or is it really clever and I am missing the really clever thing?

Apparently the visuals were done by design agency Bold Scandinavia. Would love to see how they explain it.

making a web site is a personal #branding exercise. and writing an autobiography is so awkward. i want to gesture towards metafiction (lean into the url) but doing that when the actual *purpose* of the site is "click here to email me" "click here for my blog" is a bit goofy... imagine if an SCP took a break from the article to tell you to follow it on bluesky

@rae @moshimotsu @pthane After a long and tricky discussion with the team, we decided to go with the name LibreConnect 📱💻 It's simple, technical, and full of meaning - it reflects the idea of connecting devices without creating dependency, with a strong focus on privacy and control 🔐 It also brings LibreOffice to mind, which fits our philosophy: openness, transparency, freedom

Big thanks for all your suggestions Each one was considered and helped us look at the project from different angles. Even if it wasn't picked, it still shaped the app. Because open-source is not just about code - it's about community 💜

If you want to follow the development, you can do that on GitHub:

I asked Design Week if they'd join the fediverse and apparently "it's on the backlog" 🤞

But, in direct response to my request, they instantly fixed a Bluesky bridge, so now you can follow their updates: @designweek.co.uk

🎉

This is a step in the right direction 😎

Anybody knows what happened with the guadec talk about gnome branding (https://events.gnome.org/event/259/contributions/1214/)?

Pretty sure it was scheduled for today, I've even added it to my calendar with the ics link, but today the site says it's not scheduled, and I can't find any updates regarding it...

Before the brand, before the coaching—there was ‘Shan.’ I tattooed it in my late 20s, long before Fitness Foundry. ‘Shan’ means mountain.⛰️

I wear the mountain because I believe in something bigger.✨
