@bsky.app has started its downhill journey to X-fication. Domain #verification prevents anonymous malicious actors because a domain name is identifiable at ICANN. #Bluecheckmarks that can only be given by select entities (including Bluesky) inevitably creates 2 classes of users. This is a fail.

I use an app called @obsidian.md to keep my notes from meetings, conferences, as well as a lab book. I used to think it is a pretty niche program. But seeing their enterprise supporter list , it obviously isn't : obsidian.md/enterprise/ I just wish their pricing for sync and publish was reasonable.

I just spent the whole day wondering why my email was filling up, why it was so quiet at the institute. Talking with the wife was the first time I realised when she informed me that it was a Saturday, not a Friday.

Something to keep in mind... I'm happy to use English as my work language, but frustrated by how this is often a blind spot among supporters of inclusivity stuck in a US-centric view of research
