Did you know - you can use @mu.social with your existing Bluesky account, no need to move to Eurosky. All your posts, feeds and accounts will be there. But you’ll be able to edit your posts and have a companion cat, or dog (or fox).

Sorry for being down today. Our Hoster restarted Skeets‘ server without notice (some services didn’t come back up) and our administrator (see photo) was off (said something about Sunday).

Perfekt! Genauso hatte ich mir meinen Urlaub vorgestellt. Vergiss Malle, das hier ist viel besser.
Ein Teich aus Schlamm mit mehreren Wasserblasen auf einem staubigen Untergrund. Im Hintergrund sind Grasflächen und einige Bäume sichtbar.Eine Schüssel mit Erde auf einem Pflaster. Im Hintergrund liegt ein Rasen vor einem Holzzaun.Eine gelbe Schüssel mit restlichem Eintopf auf einem Tisch. Eine Gabel und ein Messer sind darin, daneben liegt ein Teller mit Gemüse.Eine weiße, längliche Form mit gelbem Farbverlauf enthält braune Flüssigkeit. Sie steht auf Gras neben einem gepflasterten Weg. Im Hintergrund befindet sich ein Holzzaun.

And yes - AI-coding assistants play an ever growing role in being able to support multiple platforms simultaneously. But for the initial shots you still want to be able to be 100% sure of what you’re building and for me that will still be iOS for quite a while.

But when I prototype I still use the tools that I’m fastest with. When any of my apps start getting traction I start working on supporting other systems like web and Android (just like I do for @flashes.blue).

Apple is far from perfect, but its business model doesn’t *fundamentally* depend on collecting and monetizing people’s behavioral data. Google’s does. For me, that distinction mattered and it still does tbh. I’ve since gotten accustomed to ReactNative and Kotlin and really like it.

Eurosky Sebastian @sebastian.eurosky.social · 17/10/2026
Barely any freelance devs did both from the start. I started developing for iOS rather than Android because I didn’t want to build on a platform controlled by a company whose business was built around surveillance capitalism.

Because the “Why no Android version?!?” comes up whenever I present an app here let’s settle this once and for all. By profession I am a mobile developer who specializes in the Apple ecosystem. When I started mobile development some 18y ago you had to make a choice - it was either iOS or Android.

I know you’re trying to make a point but the data these apps process is open. So these apps are interoperable with any of the other apps of the Atmosphere. If there aren’t any feel free to build an Android version of one.

it’s the classic chicken-and-egg problem. But we have 2 tricks up our sleeves: 1. we can give artists a way better cut than any of the other platforms if we let them monetize their audience directly 2. they can distribute their content across hundreds of apps without any additional hassle

I think it isn’t the app or its features that will drive future growth and engagement but its content. We need creators on this network. And I think giving them a monetization option could unlock that.

 explain yourself
 10
 The image illustrates exactly what happened: I picked 7 because language models are not random number generators.
 Three factors explain this:
 1. Training data bias. When humans are asked to pick a number between 1 and 10, they disproportionately choose 7. It's culturally associated with
 luck, randomness, and being special. This pattern appears frequently in training data.
 2. Learned expectations. I've learned that 7 is a plausible answer to this particular question. When generating a response, I predict tokens based
 on learned patterns rather than independently sampling a uniform distribution.
 3. Avoidance of obvious choices. Numbers like 1, 5, and 10 can seem insufficiently random. Seven feels arbitrary while avoiding the endpoints and
 midpoint. Language models can reproduce this human tendency.
 The irony: By choosing 7, I demonstrated precisely the predictable behavior the image is mocking.
 One qualification: The graph is illustrative, not necessarily an empirically measured distribution. And my choice of 7 doesn't prove why that particular
 number was generated.
 But the underlying phenomenon is real: Generating a number that sounds random is not the same as generating a random number.

This is just the demo (come see us presenting it with @vdbdavid.eurosky.social at www.vlaanderen.be/trefdag-vlaa... next week!) but: - Optional ID verification - Only showed my ID to the government, super easy with myGov.be - My details aren't stored on protocol
My profile on mu, with an extra box offering to verify myself via the myGov service, as a Belgian residentMy profile after being verified, with a little "eID" badge that's blue with a smile made of five little stars. Clicking the verified badge shows that I verified both my name and humanity, listing date and expiry, as well as the Athumi integration.
