Um...Is he okay?

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

Always stand up to a bully

There were rumors back in 2016, but by now it’s become absolutely clear #trump and #musk are #russia assets. Im afraid they won’t relinquish their power easily. #kompromat

Sticker spotted on a #tesla today: “I bought this before Elon went crazy” 🥹

We have received hundreds of tips from readers. Many have helped us identify the people helping Musk, who has not been elected to any office, force out government employees and shutter federal offices. @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/elon...

Reminder for users of #bluesky 1. Bluesky is privately owned backed by venture capital 2. Is a for-profit corporation 3. Has not yet revealed how it will monetize its users So expect #ads or other #marketing tricks as soon as growth begins to flatten.. #enshittification

Today I learned that on #android the stock keyboard app can harvest data on whatever you are typing as explained here support.signal.org/hc/en-us/art...

for more info on #signal group link invites see support.signal.org/hc/en-us/art... #whatsapp #signal #migration #techbro

how to get people to #signal 1. mention you are deeply worried about using #techbro services and suggest a switch to signal 3. create the same group in signal, and create a "invite link" 4. drop the invite link in the whatsapp group and important: 5. say "see you there" then EXIT THE GROUP

#mastodon user base growth seemingly beginning to grow. effect of #techbro takeover in usa?

specific #whatsapp users (journalists, ..) hacked by israeli #paragon software www.forbes.com/sites/daveyw...

The yacht rock band called "Ethnic Cleansing"

This is a good time to * cancel your OpenAI sub * stop using your X and Facebook/insta accounts * uninstall the amazon app and cancel your Prime account * sell your tesla, lol Small steps 🍀

This !!

Leon is upset people are calling Teslas Swasticars Hundreds were tagged with this sticker in London

Yesterday’s live is now on YouTube: m.youtube.com/watch?featur...

Repost of the @aoc.bsky.social live stream on Peertube: peertube.wtf/w/9uD53Lr1yL...

Woop, testing Linux #mint it boots within 5 seconds from USB..

#ICYMI: The 14 hours of Project 2025 videos published by ProPublica and @documented.bsky.social last August coach potential future Trump appointees on everything from the nuts and bolts of governing to how to outwit bureaucrats. Watch below.

Guess who doesn’t need to block any open social web projects (because we’re here to support them all)? 😉

Okay nerds what’s a better choice for a semi power user that does NOT want to mess around with configs for normal office use: #ubuntu or Linux #mint?

#mastodon offering more relevant content than #bluesky on the developing stories around #syria atm. Wasn’t expecting that.

archive.org/details/ok-outtakes is pretty ok #radiohead nice way of releasing songs aswell

#baltrum #germany some days after storm #conall has cleared.

Black Friday. Cartoon for @trouw.bsky.social. #BlackFriday #consumerism #climatecrisis

#blackfriday gives a unique opportunity to unsubscribe from any mailing lists that you forgot you were still on. #spam #consumerism

Interestingly, it seems using hashtags is not that common on #bluesky. I also fail to find ways to follow hashtags which is one of the most powerful features in #mastodon.

Of course the biggest issue with #bluesky right now is that it is not yet clear how all this content and engagement will be #monetized. We've seen "free forever / don't do evil" claims done too often in the past on rising tech platforms. The risk of cashing out grows alongside the user base.

Something small that I find strange about the #bluesky web interface: there seems to be no way to directly reply to content without having to open it in a dedicated page? Surely I'm missing something.

Contrary to my experience joining #mastodon more than a year ago, all the big media outlets are already active here on #bluesky and easy to find. Now if I could just find some more regional/local content it seems I have a nice match with the journalism here and the nerdy stuff on #mastodon.

The #bluesky #starterpacks are a very smart invention to bridge the "chasm" that occurs when migrating from another network. Would be nice to see also on #mastodon

Seems it's not possible to edit posts after the fact which is a shame, I've used that a lot for minor corrections/additions and it makes the general quality of posts on the network better. Of course it could be misused somehow but I don't really think that justifies not making it possible.

Ah, and the 300 character limit feels just like old #twitter lol. Now if I only could find out where to find my own posts... wondering if the engagement is as high compared to #mastodon which I personally really liked over there. Starting experiment in 3... 2... 1...

Somewhat reluctantly decided to check out #bluesky mostly thanks to the great integration with #mastodon available through @openvibe.social. I see mostly the same content, some of the same (cross)posters, but this time I also see @aoc.bsky.social whom I was missing on Mastodon.
