Frage an meine Follower:innen: Welche Accounts/StarterPacks hier bei bluesky machen euch gute Laune? Meine Timeline besteht gerade zu 99% aus US-Faschismus, Epstein, Frustration über Politik und Big Tech.

Ab und zu bisschen was Aufheiterndes wäre super. Momentan wechsle ich dafür immer auf Reddit.

NEW: A new tool searches your LinkedIn connections for people who are mentioned in the Epstein files.

404 Media tested the tool, called EpsteIn—as in, a mash up of Epstein and LinkedIn—and it appears to work.

I just saw a video of an AI app making REAL TIME DEEP FAKES. I just texted my elderly mother to set up a code word only she and I could ever know and to warn her about this. This is horrendous.

Apparently, this new feature is considered a "bug."
If you ask me, it is rather a caterpillar that could be turned into a butterfly by the @bsky.app team. 🤞
In my Bluesky app, I can now see from which of my other feeds the posts originate from in my "discover" feed (see screenshot). This is going in the direction of algorithmic transparency for the user-side that we have been talking about in the past:
