Great panel with @martin.social & @guypo.com at State of Open last week, we talked about open-source vs. open-weights - shoutout to @samj.net, making AI accessible and efficient and how to integrate AI for software development. Thanks @openuk.bsky.social for organising this event.

And sure, if you go by raw numbers of users using Bluesky Social PBC-owned PDSes instead, it's like 99.999% of them, but that reflects the fact that most people don't give a fuck about the tech details and want it to Just Work. If someone else started a PDS that Just Worked I'm sure it'd get takers.

"bluesky is not yet decentralized" it is! anyone can move their data to their own server. it requires some technical expertise right now, but we'll make this process easier. and we expect other companies to offer this as a service too — so it won't require technical expertise in the future

These appointments prove that insisting people achieve and be promoted based on “merit” was never really their real concern.

Don’t be the same dusty ass you were on Twitter. Post your hobbies, your passions, talk with each other, follow people back. There is no reason for someone with like 78k followers to be following a handful of people. Don’t act like you’re an elitist dipshit here. We are nice here, to each other.

I think it can be done, but should not come in the form of a second, conflicting definition like #OSAID. We could update the existing Open Source Definition in the “completeness” dimension — it’s already strong on the “openness” axis — by adding a sentence explicitly extending coverage to data.

Made the mistake of sitting down at the #AI summit at #WebSummit to learn about this new thing (aka ANPR from the late 90s) some startup is using to make folks pay for parking 🥱

Toronto from the ferry yesterday

Is this thing on? Because it seems that other thing is not.

Hello, World!
