the UK government has dropped its demand for a backdoor into Apple's encryption. This could open the door for Apple to bring back its Advanced Data Protection iCloud encryption to the UK for new users www.theverge.com/news/761240/...

This is really cool stuff. I've been testing the RSS feature for a couple weeks now and it's really good and really cool. If you want to add RSS content into your feed, like I added The Verge RSS feed, and get the news articles directly from the source, it's really cool.

#OpenVibe is GOATED 🐙🐙🐙🐙

Don’t miss this one: @ma.tt joined @theverge.com Editor-in-Chief @reckless.bsky.social in a wide-ranging conversation for Automattic’s 20th anniversary.

They discussed what’s next for Automattic and for the open web. It’s a must-read (or listen!) 🧵

It will!

Next time!

Eeh… well… probably not, no.
I don't think we will go with this Apple design

Hi! 👋
If you’re not using Openvibe regularly - why not? 🤔
What should we add, fix, or improve?

We’re working on some super exciting things, but we’d love to hear what you miss or wish for.
Let us know in the replies! 🙏

Thank you! Merging the same posts is something we want to work on pretty soon 😊

We think we make the reblog chains pretty good! Please try it and tell us your honest opinion once the update is live 😊

It is, and a big one!

#Openvibe — one app for Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr, Threads… 🐙

They treat your relationships like data points on a graph to delete on a whim. This is why the open social web and account portability is so important.

Thank you, thats great! Will definitely share this within our team to discuss if we can somehow make Openvibe “less spammy”. We want to be all about giving people a choice over their content

Yeah! Working on RSS integration right now :)

Sure! Happy to talk about it. But I am not exactly following you on the spam thing.. how do you mean it?

Deleting it right now, and I don’t expect anything in return - though any feedback would be super appreciated (the product is still very early). Again, I’m really sorry for upsetting you.

Oh I am really sorry if you feel that way. I didnt mean to spam it just feel like you are trying to point a similar problem that Openvibe is working on.
Again, I am really sorry

Good morning fellow Europeans!

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen
