Which is why instead of saying "kill your X account and start from scratch on Bluesky", the message should be: "Here's a 4 step programme where you and your friends transition your networks from X to Bluesky over several months. Show some leadership! mathewlowry.medium.com/x-strategy-o...

It's raining, thank the spirits.

Just realised that today's my last official day at the European Commission (my contract ran out of days on Monday, so I've been doing other stuff since). The EC replaced me with FOUR PEOPLE. So much for AI taking everyone's jobs.

Ce ne sont pas les réseaux sociaux qu'il faut interdire aux moins de 15 ans, c'est Twitter qu'il faut interdire au gouvernement.

IOSP is a wonderful event by @scios.tech focused on building the open science stack of the future: modular research, community owned infra, novel funding. And we’re putting on an #ATScience workshop at the upcoming meeting - join us Leiden, Oct 12-15! Details in thread 👇 www.iosp.science#iosp2026

Anyone know why Bluesky is so poorly integrated into @ifttt.bsky.social? A bookmark trigger seems pretty obvious. Something for @mu.social?

ATScience is now verified on AT Store. This community driven initiative empowers researchers to publish, curate, and discuss their work on open, decentralized infrastructure built for science. @atproto.science

Gut feeling confirmed. Meanwhile the Commission people asking me "What's a taxonomy?" a few years ago are now all horny for replacing properly managed websites with chatbots.

Looks like this is a thing! Curated local corpus search (RAG) vs open web search have a "coverage–trust trade-off": curated corpora reliably win on source quality, precision, and spam-resistance for niche topics, while big search wins on coverage/recall.

@ad4europe.eurosky.social I thought you should see this but I'm turning in my EC laptop Monday morning, so I won't be able to reach you via Teams. Good luck, best regards, etc.

Thread #1 60 minutes of events on the #Eurosky vs #Wsocial PDS. Monitored between 3:10PM and 4:10PM CET EuroSky is not 29 times larger. During this hour, its equally sized user base was 29 times more active—and dramatically more inclined to like and amplify content.

Everybody like this!

AI chatbots could be making you stupider

As large language models take over more and more cognitive tasks, researchers are warning this mental outsourcing comes with a cost.

I think I discovered what it is, only Bluesky verified accounts show up in W social (or can be looked up)

Anyone else having problems with @semble.so? I'm getting an "API rejected" message on the (Windows Chrome) extension, so I generated a 2nd one to replace it, and got the same result.

This never gets old

Probably a newbie question, but... sometimes I can see that my post has a reply, but it's not displayed:

Getting some of that this morning, thought @brookie.blog should know.

And yet somehow @davidmair4.bsky.social nevertheless got me in.

Tomorrow is "Shoutout the Person Who Gave You a Bluesky Invite Code" Day. It was a cool time for cool people to drag other cool people here.

This is a good example of the permissionless innovation happening in the #Atmosphere: create an initial LinkedIn-style site you can access via your existing Bluesky/Blacksky/Eurosky/etc. account, then add more and more features leveraging your existing personal data in the Atmosphere and beyond.

Communicants de l'État : si vous restez sur X, vous vous exposez à ce qu'X vous coupe la parole quand il le décidera. La communication publique est une fonction trop stratégique pour pouvoir se permettre une telle vulnérabilité ! @info.gouv.fr

On X, freedom of expression is just like the definition of hate speech: it’s all relative.

If you operate an institutional account and you hadn't understood that this is the power dynamic that you're under, now is a good time to get to work. What's your transition plan?
