Vacation reading 📚 I found an original 1973 edition of Tools for Conviviality, published the year I was born. Combined with the Internet I fell in love with 30 years ago and everything happening today around The Atmosphere, it feels like a full-circle moment 😊

YouTube-kanaal CultRepo heeft ook een documentaire uitgebracht over het ontstaan van de programmeertaal Java. De documentaire laat onder meer James Gosling aan het woord. Hij ontwierp Java bij het bedrijf Sun Microsystems.

Many devices depend on the cloud. #LEAF (2023, @jeremiahlee.bsky.social) explores local, encrypted, autonomous and federated computing. On the Federated part: "Other times, we need to define protocols so products know how to communicate with each other" That "other time" has arrived 😊 👉 #atproto

In an incoherent speech last night, Trump prepared the US public for him stealing the midterm elections in November, which his Republican party would normally lose.

Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"

@eurosky.social & a Germany federal agency will work on an algorithm for @mu.social which prioritizes content that receives positive engagement from people who typically disagree. 🎯 The goal is to use content to build bridges between users who are currently stuck in echo chambers 👏

@sporza.be ... Minder? 🤯 De EBU-richtlijn spreekt niet over het doseren van seksualisering. Ze wil schadelijke en seksualiserende beeldvorming elimineren. Zeer ongelukkige/verkeerde titel & foto keuze!

Here is a feed with content originating exclusively from account we verified. Great to get the temperature in Belgium (spoiler: it's hot!)

ICYMI: AI is driving strong technical hiring in Europe, but full-stack readiness gaps limit impact. LF Research's 2026 State of Tech Talent Europe report: +27% net hiring effect projected for 2026. Orgs are 3.7x more likely to upskill than hire externally. www.linuxfoundation.org/research/tec...

Repeat after me: @lectrr.bsky.social is GENIAAL!

“As part of this update, public Instagram profiles are now automatically opted into being fodder for generative AI remixes. All someone has to do is tag your account’s profile in a prompt—if it’s public—and they can use Meta AI to generate an image using your likeness.”

Tuxedo OS, de Linux-distributie van laptopfabrikant Tuxedo Computers, gaat Ubuntu niet meer als zijn basis gebruiken. De ontwikkelaars doen dat vanwege de 'strategische koers' van Ubuntu-eigenaar Canonical. Het bedrijf stapt permanent over op Debian.

EU Chat control is back on the table. Bart Preneel warns in De Morgen: scanning private messages at scale risks treating all citizens as suspects, without solid scientific basis for AI detection. #Privacy matters. Proportionality matters. www.demorgen.be/tech-ai/chat... (paywall)

Hot take, you should be able to just @ someone’s name without adding .bsky.social and the app should know to @ the right person.

Overturn this! 😎

I moved from Bluesky to Eurosky, it’s really easy. I still use the Bluesky app to access my Eurosky account and I’m still connected to everyone that I followed / followed me. But my account is no longer on US servers. This is the way!

If you’re with Eurosky you can now manage your email, password, username as well as delete or deactivate you account at eurosky.social/account

As requested by @liabelle.me here are all the unique features of @mu.social which I will keep up to date as we progress

Here we go ... Winter, eeuh Schrems III is coming ... 😑

The thing about social media age restrictions is that it treats today’s internet as an inevitability we all just have to deal with. The internet (and the WORLD) wasn’t like this until like four dudes were allowed to own & monetize as much tech real estate as they wanted. Fix THAT problem.

You can replace games with any genre, and this post still rings true. Great read from @rpg.actor about how to break through the atmobubble.

There's a lot here worth thinking about, and it puts in words some of the feelings I was having that motivated me to leave Google. I'm *also* quite worried about more direct autocratic control of US-based AI, there are signs of this starting to happen.

Yesterday, as a proud father, I attended my son’s graduation ceremony 👏🎓🎉. In his yearbook, I came across this well-known quote: "We didn't realize we were making memories; we just knew we were having fun." ... it made me pause and reflect on life for a moment as well 🥂

Mensen die goed geïnformeerd zijn, zijn minder vatbaar voor manipulatie, populisme, desinformatie en autoritaire leiders. Onderwijs heeft daarom ook een belangrijke politieke functie. Merci aan alle leerkrachten 👏 op het einde van dit schooljaar!

I think we just passed oops.

Congrats on the 45 million! 💙 Can anyone somehow estimate how many of those users are based in #Europe? Would be great to understand the potential growth opportunity for @eurosky.social / @mu.social app within the Bluesky user base.

A dream of flight suspended in space. Panamarenko's *Aero Pedalo 9* (1999) brings imagination, engineering, and art together in a striking installation at the Herman Teirlinck Building in Brussels. A reminder that innovation starts with curiosity.
