i dislike this beyond being factually incorrect, it is also missing the core problem with Big Tech Algorithms: it is a matter about who controls attention, not the algorithm itself /1

🧵 Blacksky is looking to buy a server for $30k USD. We'd like the following specs or better: - 384 GB RAM - 80 TB NVMe; ZFS RAIDZ2 in 2 vdevs - 1 Gbps + 10 Gpbs burstable - at least 84 threads for the CPU(s) - Ideally somewhere in the eastern half of North America but open to North America and EU
For Japan, NHK still isn’t here, either
Tyler Fisher@tylerjfisher.com · 6d agoDoing some investigation into news data on atproto via @sill.social's appview. The most popular news orgs that don't have an account tied to their domain are: ABC, BBC, CBC. Broadcasting companies hate atproto, you heard it here first.

once upon a time i was an aspiring music critic and i am so glad it was before the time of microblogging
Checking in from vacation to say saved, filtered searches on bsky.app are really nice. You should be able to pin them as custom feeds. I have a version of this for @sill.social that I'll be launching for Sill+ subscribers when I'm back from vacation next week.
Did a thing and my Ghost site is now integrated with @standard.site, entirely using Cloudflare workers and Ghost webhooks (with zero modifications to Ghost code). I'll be backfilling, but new posts are saved to my PDS completely automatically. werd.io/climate-gov-...
Climate.gov was destroyed. Open data saved it.

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.
Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her
The Maine Democrat denied the allegations and said, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”

Tyler Fisher@tylerjfisher.com · last mo.Many people have asked how they can help support Sill. Now you can with Sill+, a new subscription tier for Sill. Today, Sill+ gives you beta access to the forthcoming iOS app!
To promote Sill+ in the @sill.social experience, I'm starting with mid-stream "house ads". Trying to find the balance between enticing and non-intrusive. More on the Sill+ strategy here: blog.euphonos.studio/3mpy4sbtnfc2k
I've been using Sill (mostly via RSS) for a while now, and each time I get a link in my feed, it's something I'm actually interested in. Easy sub. Services like this are why open social networks are great. It couldn't exist otherwise!

A cool thing here: I'm actually aggregating on a canonical-ish ID for media entities, not the Popfeed URL. TMDB for tv/movies, ISBN for books, etc. So other lexicons that reference IDs could get aggregated under the same entity in Sill!
Tyler Fisher@tylerjfisher.com · last mo.@popfeed.social support? @sill.social's got that. (thanks @gui.do for rating a million things today so I could easily test 😅)
