semble.soI'm doing some fun atproto things! I've updated my website to use @sifa.id as the source of truth for the data I use to populate my website. My site is some quick info about me, my employment history, and skills. All of this is now sourced from the Atmosphere!
Very proud to be making my @assignedmedia.org debut with this fascinating & farcical exposé! Someone — we don’t yet know who — has been bombarding the US government with blatantly machine-generated comments. All of them ask for one thing: make it harder for trans people to legally buy firearms.
