Yeah!

Transition to Linux completed and with Zorin OS @zorinos.bsky.social ,which is beautifully designed and very user friendly. So it's goodbye to Windows with all the proprietary software, endless patches and bloats, and back to the original concept of open source tools and creativity for everyone. 😎

@popfeed.social is going to be fun and is one of the many future implementation of ATproto linked to your profile. Log in popfeed.social with your Bluesky credentials and create lists of fav movies, music, games, TVshows, books+ reviews. Still a bit buggy but you can play around with it.

AI has no sense of humour

The silent digital revolution no one is talking about.

Europeans deserve safer digital spaces and real alternatives to US-based platforms. We urge the Commission to: - Invest in European tech initiatives. - Support the development of user-focused, European-owned networks. - Guarantee robust data portability rights for all users.

Looking forward for @eurosky.social to head in a similar direction once it's up and running.

Don't want to sound alarmist but just did a search on "Potential US action regarding US digital services in a war against Europe scenario" and yes Trump could issue an executive orders to restrict or modify the operations of U.S.-based digital services to "safeguard national security". Shop locally.

While we scuttle for European based digital alternative services, @surfshark.bsky.social is a great VPN service based in the Netherlands. You get a whole security suite with it, a great antivirus and an extra ID which you can use with sites you don't trust with your data 😎

Also going to swap current Pixel OS on my phone with GrapheneOS.

I am on the lookout for a European service that provides cloud hosting with a indexing similar to Google Photo and can transfer all the media I got on Google with one click. Have downloaded all my stuff but Google splits it in to files that I would take weeks to recompile. Any suggestions welcome.

We could compare Trump to a large asteroid which is about to hit the planet, with all humanity working together to divert the impact.

The Dutch should claim back New Amsterdam.

Creative idea of the day: a mass picnic on Trump's golf courses in Scotland and Ireland. Bring dogs, unruly children with small spades, and set free a whole colony of randy rabbits.

Not as spectacular as when the starlings do their moving clouds formations, but this is the second phase, when they prepare to land on trees to spend the night. They break up and dive in full free-fall towards the nearest branch.

Started snooping around for a mini laptop made in the EU for writing on the go, and came acros the super customisable and modular MNT Pocket Reform which looks like something that escaped Stranger Things and could withstand nuclear Armageddon. It has also a mechanical keyboard, so it's on my list.

Why can I subscribe to repetitive mono-cultural pap offered by Netflix, Disney, Amazon, etc. but by living in Europe I cannot subscribe to the Criterion Channel? Luckily we have @filmin.es here in Spain but this will be one of my forever gripes. @criterionchannl.bsky.social

Watching the protest in Copenhagen live on stream.place. The quality of the video could improve but you can see where @stream.place is heading. Kudos to the developers and keep Greenland free!

The financial industry is a major road block for climate change mitigation. Our research shows the beneficiaries of sticking with fossil capital: the super rich. Great to see our chart republished by the Balanced Economy Project! Link to full paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Is anyone else under the impression that we are just a really big family on Bluesky, and this is what it's all about?

This is a no brainer and surprised that giving each building the ability to generate electricity has not been discussed sooner.

At the end of the pier. Barcelona. #Photography

Say hello to Orla Joelsen from Greenland 🇬🇱

On my @bsky.app wishlist: - Text edit tool 🙏 - Inline translation (hope this is something @eurosky.social will prioritize as we have 24 official languages in the EU) - Ability to upload audio files - Localised trending (or trending filters, according to your specific interests).

Barceloneta, with it's tight 18th century grid of streets. #StreetPhotography #Photography #Barcelona

Gotta ❤️ Barcelona's concrete loungers on the waterfront. #PhonePhotography #Photography

Note that @eurosky.social is about to launch. I think there might be a correlation.

Uhhhh!

2000 Meters to Andriivika is exceptional, devastating, and strips the absurdity of war to the bone. Men share a cigarette in a hollowed shelter, then disappear under relentless enemy fire. Yet they advance, because freedom is an ideal that cannot be destroyed. For Ukraine.

Children play in the snow as explosions from Russian attacks rumble in the distance.

Have just updated the feed with 25 new official verified accounts related to the European Union (thank you @eu.govsky.org / @surfdude29.ispost.ing for keeping tabs). Great to see the EU moving full throttle to Bluesky! 🇪🇺

In A Galaxy Too Close for Comfort

AI images have lowered the barrier to entry to visualize one's fantasies for the stupidest, most uncreative people

Here at Bluesky, we're pushing forward into the future. Not that future. We hate AI and love buttons. It's our future to create

The future is oil free.

This is the equivalent of the old explorers offering beads and tools to the natives.

Excellent documentary on the US Greenland threat freely available on ARTE.TV - one issue, you can only watch it in Germany so I had to use VPN. The absurdity of geo segregation when you are living in the EU (from e-commerce to e-culture) is something that really needs to be resolved. @volteuropa.org
