Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

It takes about 66 days on average for a behavior to become a habit. Its all about frequency and consistency of repetition for a habit to become automatic and effortless.

Privacy stalwart Nicholas Merrill spent a decade fighting an FBI surveillance order. Now he wants to sell you phone service—without knowing almost anything about you.

Banana bread!! It was a very good idea to add choco chips to it. #baking #bananabread

My first time baking a sourdough bread! Underestimated how loooong it actually takes to make it xD

Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality. www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...

Okay I’ve heard this is where you come to make friends germs…uh germ friends. - A friendly germ.

Okay, I’m finally off the @germnetwork.com waitlist! But I can’t find anyone to text and try the app. Does anyone wanna slide into my DMs :) Germ DM link in bio.

Paris cleaned up the Seine by fixing sewers, building stormwater basins, and pulling out trash—enough that people can swim there for the first time in 100 years. Social media needs the same: infrastructure fixes, not cosmetic tweaks.

RIGHT to decide WHO can access information about oneself!

BioFase has developed biodegradable cutlery and straws made from avocado seeds, and they can fully break down within just 240 days. Using discarded avocado pits from food processors, BioFase transforms what would otherwise be waste into durable utensils

I’m excited to finally share a project I’ve been working on for several months… I’ve published a long-form guide for how companies, communities, and creators can use Bluesky to grow their brands — you can check it out on @atpota.to. It’s not perfect, but it’s a solid start that I’ll keep updated!

Okay I know you won’t believe me when I say I saw a room 2-222 exactly at 2:22 (PM) yesterday 😤 so here you go!! (Maybe I should have made a wish)

ChatGPT finally achieves AGI and realises it’s nice out so downs tools and heads to the beach

What’s the solution to having all these different messaging platforms like Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, Messenger? Is there something out there where users can directly communicate cross-platforms with E2EE or do we all have to switch to one app for E2EE to work?

Can someone direct me to sources to understand what the ATProtocol is? I still don’t completely understand it. Does it mean anyone can move data between apps built on the protocol? Can we communicate between users using different apps?

Happy Pride Month to EVERYONE! ♥️💚🧡💜💛🖤💙

CONGRATS Taylor Swift on buying back the masters to your original 6 albums!! After 20 years of hard-work, the sadness and longing, the memories, the fights, the silent struggles, the conversations ignited, the re-recordings, the tour, you finally did it!! Now, all YOUR music is YOURS :) #TaylorSwift

Open your eyes to the beauty around you Open your mind to the wonders of life Open your heart to those who love you And always be true to yourself. - Maya Angelou #Quotes

I'm an advisor to this startup, whose product is a trust & safety-minded E2EE messenger (two great tastes that taste great together). Having E2EE for Bluesky DMs is hella good - this is very exciting!

“I Agree” is a fascinating art installation by Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel. Check it out: www.dimayarovinsky.com/i-agree Hey @pubity.com, post more such interesting content on your Bluesky account too!!

Remember the 3Rs for sustainable waste management (in the order of hierarchy). Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Why don’t we add another R? Repair. Don’t let these people tell you, you can’t repair your broken stuff (even if what’s broken is you :P) **posts and proceeds to play Fix You by Coldplay 🎶**

Finally terminated all my Meta accounts: Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp. A first step towards building a better internet. Phew.

Can someone suggest better alternatives for existing big tech technologies? Some alternatives I've found: 1. Social media: @bsky.app 2. Messaging service: @signal.org 3. Google: DuckduckGo, SearXNG 4. Mail: ProtonMail 5. VPN: ProtonVPN Not sure for other tools like YouTube and FB marketplace.

"We estimate that by 2025, Signal will require approximately $50 million dollars a year to operate" Donation-based and open-sourced to build the security protocol used by most other monetization-hungry messaging services with 50 ppl. Thank you for fighting for OUR privacy @signal.org -- EVERYDAY!

Sen. Sanders: Pramila, Debbie and I are introducing Medicare for All single payer legislation. And let me very briefly tell you what this legislation is about.

But If Not (November 5th 1967) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

Just for my records, since 2017 I’ve been asking and “claiming” this: Why should the speed of light be the limit? How can we be sure that our measurements are precise to that exact number? Wouldn’t it be cool if we surpass its speed? It’ll be great if someone could share more information on this :o

Since Meta has made it so impossible to find the account deletion/deactivation option, here's the secret to deleting/deactivating your Meta accounts: Accounts center > Personal details > Account ownership and control > Deactivation or deletion.

To keep record of these experiences, I am also attaching one of my battles with PayPal who support and host scammers on their platform. More importantly, instead of providing protection to genuine customers they choose to side and approve a scam. Posting here for public records :)

This is to share that I had the worst experience with Acorns Grow Ltd. Without justification they suspended my bank account. Despite providing the required documentation no action was taken. After countless phone calls, emails (name, number, address, socials…) over 3 weeks finally it’s restored!

I’m back by the way!!! :’)

Hello Privacy. Secure. E2E encrypted. Open-source. 501c3 Non-profit. Free. No ads or trackers. If even the US military officials use Signal to share sensitive information, makes you wonder why aren’t they using other messaging platforms, right? Switch to Signal please :) signal.org/install/
