Today is a big day for @socket.dev. We raised a $60M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by Thrive Capital. 20,000+ orgs, 1.5M repos protected, 1,000+ supply chain attacks blocked per week. 3/5 FAANG companies are customers. We're just getting started.
It occured to me today that LLMs are like the echos of the dead speaking. Reminds me of "Speaker for the Dead", and I wonder who speaks for these dead?

🚢 I’m a container‑ship nerd. Global trade relies HEAVILY on oil-powered colossi, and that’s not gonna cut it in a climate collapse. My 10+ year special interest has led to a zero carbon shipping feasibility study: 🧵 www.juniperbevensee.com/musings/clea... #cleanshipping #climatechange
Market collapse or Shipping Hard shift — Juniper Bevensee
A total transformation in shipping is mandatory if we want to save global trade. Despite potentially intrinsic obstacles, massive innovation is currently spreading across the globe.

touchgrass.fightforthefuture.org/why-i-confro... The video has some horrid things said by a bigot, but also really encouraging demonstration of countering hate
Why I confronted Nancy Mace
The goal of my protest wasn’t to convince bigots to stop spreading hate. It was to spark conversation among advocacy groups and philanthropists about how we resist tech-enabled fascism.

How decentralized is Bluesky really? -- Dustycloud Brainstorms

NGI/EU has overall too many rules, and the target of funding are projects (or worse: rigidly predetermined milestones). In my opinion, if it were set up to fund *teams*, it would have accomplished a lot more with tax payer money.
Hi everyone thanks for having me here on Bluesky, I'm new here I keep hearing about Bluesky/ATProto and Mastodon/ActivityPub. Aren't they the same thing? Could someone explain how decentralized networks work to me

The Bluesky team earned my trust by delivering on promise after promise, including the ability to host your own data. It isn't just possible, it's now well documented. atproto.com/guides/self-...
Did bluesky get open sourced yet ? And if not waht's the timeline? (yes I'm lazy and hoping someone else knows, and if it's not open then talk about values with other here)
Just read a piece from a nostr human about moderation in distributed spaces https://s3x.social/nostr-content-moderation Cool to see scuttlebutt influence in there, AND the centering of "censorship resistance" creeps me the fuck out. Why not center "community safety and health"?
This place... feels the same as classic social media? I notice I now don't really want random followers. I want people I know and intimacy, not more performative content.
