Privacy, decentralization, freedom, the odd crypto post. Career CTO working on strategy and investments. ATProto is weird and I love it. https://numergent.com/https://blacksky.community/profile/ricardo.bsky.socialhttps://blacksky.community/profile/ricardo.bsky.social/post/3milffl2q6k2mSome thoughts on a taxonomy of ATmospheric apps. I see an ecosystem developing with three categories: - Symbionts, tightly coupled with Bsky; - Offshoots, growing large, parallel communities; and - Cuckoos, which scan as skeuomorphic clones on ATproto but go beyond. https://numergent.com/2026-04/A-taxonomy-of-ATmosphere-applications.html03 Apr 2026 09:21 +0000at://did:plc:cf6futaebyc2k4wgzsr4v42k/app.bsky.feed.post/3milffl2q6k2mhttps://blacksky.community/profile/ricardo.bsky.social/post/3mil7ihdu4s2iAnyone else having issues deploying @bun.sh applications to @render.com? The services build fine but, once done building, they fail on the deployment stage. Two major weird things... 1.
