I'm super hyped to announce that Bluesky Socal PBC has given me a grant to work on the Federated Credential Management (or FedCM) standards to make them really work for all decentralized web applications.

This is why I stepped up to be an Invited Expert with the W3C FedID Working Group earlier in the year. The missing part at that time was "how do I fund this work?" so I'm super happy that Bluesky Social PBC really came through with a grant to fund this work.

A really interesting thing that Bluesky Social PBC did here was they could have said "just make this work for AT Protocol" but instead they said "make this work for the entire decentralized web", and the contract explicitly states I should be working with the IndieAuth, Solid and other communities interested in federated and decentralized identity to make this happen.

So, is #Apple going to ever acknowledge and fix the #iOS keyboard regression from recent versions?

Unless I missed some announcement, it sort of seems like… no? This is just the state of iOS moving forward? I find using the keyboard such a pain that I'd now rather correct text-to-speech dictation errors. But that doesn't work in noisy, non-private environments.

I'm no artist, but hopefully this gets the point across. A comic in three panels.

Poorly drawn sketch of a large computing machine connected to electrical wires and three stick figures kneeling in front of it. Text above the stick figures says: "O Deep Thought what is the ultimate answer to the problem of the climate crisis?"
Same sketch, now with text above the machine saying: "You should have stopped burning fossil fuels"
Same sketch, zoomed out to see three smoke stacks and text above the stick figures saying: "How could we have known?"

🚨 OpenAI's head of Robotics resigned because the company is building lethal AI weapons with NO human input required.

This is the same company that won't let ChatGPT say a swear word.

They put safety filters on your prompts but none on their kill chain.

Caitlin Kalinowski @kalinowski007 I resigned from OpenAI. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn’t an easy call. AI has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I’m proud of what we built together. 11:30 AM · Mar 7, 2026 · 1.8M Views

I have once again been way off w/r/t actual painting so I wanted to mess with something small and low stress and dumb with no attachment to how it was going to turn out and I think it's safe to say I accomplished that

An acrylic painting of a skeleton  framed head and shoulders leering at a Chicago-style hot dog it is holding in its hend. The hot dog has a little face that is just two eye holes and a mouth hole, and some spooky, ghosty green ectoplasmic things are floating up out of the little face holes. No I don't know why either.
