Been using it as my main search engine for the past year and it's been quite satisfying. Also easy to switch to alternatives like brave or ddg for one offs. I haven't felt like anything was missing tbh.

Why not both? I was just reading about this plugin yesterday
bsky.app/profile/tree...

I think the project in itself is awesome to sponsor. The cards are cool little bonus.

As a Canadian who has also extensively worked with CAD, do I get double points? (Triple if I tell you I play around with zoo design studio?)

Does it feed into moist march?

Although it’s written with RSS as its main target, I feel like it fits to our relationship to social media as a while quite well. Love the writing, the presentation, I’d love for more media this intentional!
Thanks for having shared this.

This takes me to another post a while back where comments were added to the end of a blog in the form of bsky replies to a post. Pretty cool interactions!

Look ma, I’m on blento!

What is a “European Alternative” to X? – Open Future European alternatives to Big Tech platforms must go beyond sovereignty—they need decentralized models, robust safety, and public funding.

European social media alternatives need more than EU hosting. They require decentralized architecture, robust safety mechanisms, public funding, and business models beyond surveillance. Read more in @aditya.myatproto.social latest: openfuture.eu/blog/what-is...

check out sidetrail this is the intro trail i guess

I just walked "check out sidetrail" by @danabra.mov
I love the potential that such a simple app has, as the trails can range from online ideas, to physical tasks to even like a treasure hunt à la geocaching. It's a nice escape sidetrail.app/@danabra.mov...

To quite a large extent, I would say, hierarchies within companies are also heavily influenced by the societies they are built in, and so it makes sense that at both scales you have a similar impact on the technologies that emerge

I agree, I saw it like a subset of a greater thing that the paper you posted showed, like a smaller scale application of the same effect maybe. It was just the first similar analysis that came to mind, and they're both from around the same era too, ironically. Would love modern takes on this too

Isn't this also a bit the premise behind Conway's law? Organisations' communication structure (and hierarchies I guess) heavily influence the architectures of the applications they develop. Makes sense to see it so

You can support free trade and commerce and still see that some technological choices bear risks in the moment (or in the long term) and not go down that path. I don't believe that those two ideas are antithetical. Free markets don't force you to buy from an oppressor.

I reference this every once in a while. I had begun to "de-google" prior to trump, but with big tech practically endorsing trumps abhorrent policies with their capitulation this list becomes even more important.

Digital sovereignty is not about hate though, it's about self preservation. I've seen a lot (but not enough) of the same concerns. I also expect we still have the ability to discern between Americans and the predatory practices of American tech giants.

I sat down with Theo and @alexalbert.bsky.social to talk about MCP at @anthropic.com HQ. If you want to hear tidbits about the history, what's next for MCP, or just want to watch me awkwardly moving back and forth on the chair trying to hold a conversation, here is the video:

Your top priority on any todo list should be, "Build a portable, low-cost nuclear fusion generator."

You will be amazed what you can achieve while you're procrastinating on that one. I just answered five(!) emails.

Having fun learning Rust and got my hands on some testing too. Great place to learn!
