the UK government has dropped its demand for a backdoor into Apple's encryption. This could open the door for Apple to bring back its Advanced Data Protection iCloud encryption to the UK for new users www.theverge.com/news/761240/...

This is really cool stuff. I've been testing the RSS feature for a couple weeks now and it's really good and really cool. If you want to add RSS content into your feed, like I added The Verge RSS feed, and get the news articles directly from the source, it's really cool.

#OpenVibe is GOATED 🐙🐙🐙🐙

They treat your relationships like data points on a graph to delete on a whim. This is why the open social web and account portability is so important.

Selling off Instagram! Deleting your list of friends! And other ideas Meta considered for reviving Facebook, spilling out of the courtroom on day two of the antitrust trial www.platformer.news/meta-ftc-tri...

Oh, to have been in the room as Tom Allison attempted to gently talk his boss out of deleting the entire Facebook friend graph. Don't get me wrong — I think a lot of people would benefit from starting their Facebook feeds over. But presumably Wall Street would have freaked out.

Thank you, thats great! Will definitely share this within our team to discuss if we can somehow make Openvibe “less spammy”. We want to be all about giving people a choice over their content

Matej 🐙 @matej.bsky.social · Apr 13

Yeah! Working on RSS integration right now :)
