Bluesky's whole thing is "pick any server you like" - but Kuba Suder just ran the numbers, and oof. The server you pick might matter a LOT for how much garbage you see. 🧵 #WSocial #WeLoveNumbers

National Archives in London for me today. Revolution, 250 America's independence story, 1763-1783 "A New and Correct Map of the United States", 1785. Notice the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario they have on it... #WSocial #WSocialPics

Trying out the latest Mistral tools (released 15 minutes ago)… Can we invite Mistral to the W so I can share my feedback directly? If they’re using Chinese models for coding, maybe they should put a little more effort into QA for the UI too - it feels like it barely got tested 😅

It is located on the former site of East India House on the corner of Lime Street and Leadenhall Street, in London's main financial district, the City of London. #WSocialPics

Second day, second achievement. Sometimes bullies retreat to their chambers and block themselves. I’m not sure how that helps them spread propaganda and disinformation, though.

They didn't like the idea giving Elena money? Or she drives this site and this bully campaign to harass others online?

These people are unbearable. A frontier AI would need a ridiculous amount of SSD space to self-replicate in my supposedly smart home. And good luck, Mr. Dario, fitting Claude onto a lawnmower.

Re age, well, the platform is still in beta, so they will flesh things out. Right now I guess they just reused some date field with some shifts to anynymize real date. Maybe it was easier than rewriting stuff, idk. As for countries on Threads/X the whole idea is to show true location.

@wsocial.eu maybe it's worth a try inviting Firepoint company to W, given they do not have presence on the protocol at all? 😊 It is a leading Ukrainian defense technology company that builds UAVs, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles, for modern high-precision warfare. firepoint.technology/en/

What's more interesting, this eurosky seems to be backed by Americans more than by Europeans. Whenever I peek, it's all Nashvile, Georgia, NY Times, etc... it may happen that the most vocal pro-European PDS constantly attacking @anna.wsocial.eu and others isn't that European at all... host in US too

During last two months, I've seen probably a dozen relatively "big" accounts trying to weaponise their followers to attack some smaller communities.

Researching on why developers and devops seem to be the most toxic layer on the AT protocol, BlueSky and others... Many insights to think about, but thought these two may resonate.

Bookshops are one of my weak points - I can't walk past one without buying something. Today I hit the jackpot when I found a Chinese bookshop; I'll definitely be coming back soon. #WSocial #WSocialBooks

As I've mentioned, this whole circus is driven by a 'paid-shill' developer mindset. It's based on the arrogant assumption that the community is clueless - they're simply presenting public data and pretending it's a leak to create panic. 🤷‍♂️

It is the same as in all the bluesky clients. The Hash button to go to feeds. the cog to get to settings. Then you click on the feed and get that pin/unpin button

Sounds great. The small print however is that it's experimental and locked behind email and potentially future paywall

Everyone is excited about Mistral Large 4 aka "Le chonk". The reports seem quite impressive so far but again, all the vendors already learned how to beat the benchmarks, so it needs real-life testing. Model not yet fully released. And it's funny they also provide Chinese GLM 5.3 as top choice.

To be a true European alternative, I think they need a gentle nudge about their social media preferences 😁

Few shots from the HM Prison Belfast, also known as Crumlin Road Gaol. Since 1996 it is the only remaining Victorian era former prison in Northern Ireland. Great piece of history. Be ready to spend 4+ hours there without even noticing that. #WSocial #WSocialPics

Some criticism here for the balance. The Startpage is too greedy for the advertiser money, and users always get first 1-2 pages of search results with ads only. You will have to scroll each time to see anything. I asked them once why is that, and the answer was something like "but it's EU!" 😬

As for alternatives, the monetisation is the problem for all of them I believe:
