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.

@origamiunicorn @thisismissem I was thinking the same
@fluffykontbiscuits @origamiunicorn
Then you were both thinking incorrectly and you can kindly fuck off. Work on decentralization will both make this place stronger and will increase the chances that the atproto ecosystem meaningfully decentralizes to the point where the bad behavior of one participant doesn't define the whole network.
@thisismissem is doing valuable work and deserves to get paid for it.

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.

@ricci @origamiunicorn @thisismissem no need to be nasty. It's a civil discussion.

@fluffykontbiscuits fluffy, you and I engaged respectfully, but others in this thread did not. That's what I think @ricci is calling out, not calling you out necessarily.

@Zwifi thanks, are you still involved in Solid things? I haven't really been keeping up since leaving Inrupt
@thisismissem absolutely, still at inrupt, still on Solid, although I don't have as much free time as I'd like to dedicate to side-projects, but that will come back as the children are growing up ^^

@Zwifi @thisismissem Just a decade and a half or so to go

@Zwifi oh! I thought Inrupt ditched solid? Maybe we should catch up?

@thisismissem congrats!
wasn't there Firefox Persona thingy ages ago where you were "signing with firefox"?
I'm mildly annoyed that quite ofthen three is "sign in" displayed prominently and option to register with email burried somewhere below (not to mention it always defaults to 2-3 bigtech providers :/)

@wojtek yeah, there was, but in general, this is more a "UX guidance for website implementers" challenge. We still have many websites auto-prompting for like location services.
