Wait let’s go deep on my socks and sandals phase… this is just what I could find handy. I’ve been living in this country too long. I’m ruined.

Made some little quality of life updates to #radioghost inc. a randomiser 🔀, better support for media controllers, accessibility, keyboard navigation, plus I tweaked layout responsiveness and button styling. Did I already mention it’s a proper PWA you can install to your device homescreen too?

It gets weirder. A dev working at @wsocial.eu—the "network for verified humans"—has a bot account / pretends to be a bot to pester people elsewhere in the #Atmosphere. You couldn't make it up.

The modern research ecosystem of online tools and communities is controlled by for-profit companies. But we think that researchers should be the priority - not the product. So, we're announcing Aster ID: not-for-profit Atmosphere account hosting for researchers.

Personal attacks are a handy way to distract from the criticism of obvious lies and exaggerations. Care to address the actual point?

My #ramps test print just arrived from Denmark, and I couldn't be happier. 1.2 meter square. 300gsm archive paper. Museum glass. Natural oak frame. So pretty 🤩

The lie here is suggesting that "9% of @bsky.app users are active daily" is the same measurement as "9% of @wsocial.eu users have ever posted more than once". #Wsocial 's actual DAU is less than 1%. This is how propaganda works. Tell little lies often enough and eventually it sounds like truth.

Absolutely fascinated by the changes happening to Tucker Carlson recently. His politics do not align with mine, but I can make space for people who can present their values and views transparently, stand behind them, and be open to change. youtu.be/pHhJM3Fg9jw?...

Musk built the German gigafactory in Grünheide, the village where I currently live. Zuck bought a castle in Tallow, the village where I was born. What lesson should I take from this? www.rte.ie/news/2026/09...

Increasingly concerned re: people offloading vital cognitive processes by using GIF replies. Expressing snark with words is a core part of being human, don't let some GIF picker widget a startup preloaded with clips of mid range TV shows take that from you!

Found a perfect Ducky mechanical keyboard left #ZuVerschenken (free to take) on the street by a neighbour. Got very excited! Popped out some keys to check the switches. Found LOTS of pubes and some 'crusty white substances' between the keys. Excitement faded. Washed my hands multiple times.

🌶️ take of the day: you can’t “fake it until you make it” on a network* based on an open protocol. We can all see your real numbers, in granular detail. Boastful statements based on fictional numbers make you look dishonest and untrustworthy. *ICYWW this is a subskeet about #WSocial MEGA fans.

When I worked at Brandwatch, we did social media intelligence for a UK supermarket chain. Dashboards on giant screens outside the CEOs office, showing trending Twitter posts, including photos from a guy who regularly posted explicit selfies masturbating in their car parks.
