Although it’s written with RSS as its main target, I feel like it fits to our relationship to social media as a while quite well. Love the writing, the presentation, I’d love for more media this intentional!
Thanks for having shared this.
I love this thoughtful and beautifully presented piece by @terry.social.godier.me.ap.brid.gy (found via @tyfromtheinternet.com’s newsletter), on the anxiety of unread counts and the questionable evolution of app design.

Why RSS readers look like email clients, and what that's doing to us.

This takes me to another post a while back where comments were added to the end of a blog in the form of bsky replies to a post. Pretty cool interactions!

European social media alternatives need more than EU hosting. They require decentralized architecture, robust safety mechanisms, public funding, and business models beyond surveillance. Read more in @aditya.myatproto.social latest: openfuture.eu/blog/what-is...

European alternatives to Big Tech platforms must go beyond sovereignty—they need decentralized models, robust safety, and public funding.

I just walked "check out sidetrail" by @danabra.mov
I love the potential that such a simple app has, as the trails can range from online ideas, to physical tasks to even like a treasure hunt à la geocaching. It's a nice escape sidetrail.app/@danabra.mov...
check out sidetrail
this is the intro trail i guess

I reference this every once in a while. I had begun to "de-google" prior to trump, but with big tech practically endorsing trumps abhorrent policies with their capitulation this list becomes even more important.
Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!
Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

I sat down with Theo and @alexalbert.bsky.social to talk about MCP at @anthropic.com HQ. If you want to hear tidbits about the history, what's next for MCP, or just want to watch me awkwardly moving back and forth on the chair trying to hold a conversation, here is the video:

Your top priority on any todo list should be, "Build a portable, low-cost nuclear fusion generator."

You will be amazed what you can achieve while you're procrastinating on that one. I just answered five(!) emails.
