So you're not the one publishing your health data live to ATProto? ;-)

Snippet from the Verge interview with new CEO of Bluesky saying "There’s somebody who’s publishing the health data off of their Apple Watch onto their PDS. So they’re just live-streaming their health data onto the protocol."

I f#$%ing hate the entitlement of tech companies when it comes to taking your company data and just use it without an explicit opt-in. Will this ever stop?

I think it works on both a white background and at quite small sizes. But as you say, using patterns in combination is probably a good idea for several reasons. People who are better at graphics than I am would probably solve that easily. You?

The atmosphere connects and unites us across continents and borders. It reminds us that we are all part of a larger, intertwined existence. I felt a bit inspired, so here is my suggestion for an #atmosphere logo. Feel free to iterate on it! @atprotocol.dev @atprotocol.dev @bsky.app

Erik Bugge@erik· Apr 10

Maybe the logo should be something like this?

A very good summary by @dmarti.bsky.social on the challenges of publisher revenue - whether it is from micropayments or advertising. blog.zgp.org/micropayment...

Snippet from article highlighted: "The problem with marketing today isn’t that marketers have gotten “too technical” and ignored the creative mystique or whatever—it’s that marketers are so afraid to look “non-technical” by asking the hard questions."

Huge interest in the trial against the son of the Norwegian crown princess. Almost 300 articles published in January alone - that are read a *lot* for a country of 5 mill people.

Norway's largest bank DNB newsjacking through the Kobler ad platform in a matter of minutes 😂😂🤣 ("Jeg slutter" = "I quit")

A DNB ad with a picture of someone resigning by putting their but to the windows with the text "I quit" on and article on about the ICE employee putting his but to the window.

Venezuela is yesterday's news! The mad king always manages to set the agenda for the news coverage. The graph shows read articles about Venezuela on 150 Norwegian newspapers. We are back to pre-intrusion levels.

Building a relationship with readers is hard for publishers. But for f**k's sake, this can't be the way to go??

Two weeks ago googleads.g.doubleclick(.)net started showing up in the Screen Time activity of my 12 year old son. Last week it was the second most "used" app on his iPhone. Does anyone know what this is? #apple #googleads #privacy
