From all I've heard so far, Toni is a terrific choice for an interim CEO: he has a deep background in open platforms like WordPress and is committed to Bluesky's principles of user choice and control.

Toni Schneider @toni.bsky.team

I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be joining Bluesky as interim CEO. I deeply believe in what this team has built and the open social web they're fighting for. More here: toni.org/2026/03/09/c...

Europe has been paralysed by fear of retaliation from an economy that's actually weaker than advertised. The window to use market leverage is closing as deindustrialisation accelerates. Problem is nothing is more politically fragmented in Europe than its backbone.

Europe warned: weaponise EU market against China or face manufacturing collapse

My report on new research from @ruehlig & @Aligarciaherrer that says:

1. China's economy is not as strong as Europe fears
2. Europe has leverage, use it or lose it

Beijing’s ‘weakness creates opportunities’ for bloc to use chokepoints and leverage for negotiations, researchers say.

I "need" to buy another light for my YouTube videos. Already have Amaran Pano 60c (current key) + Amaran Ace 25c (background/fill). Am considering getting a new Halo for the Bowens mount and 85° beam angle, to be my new key light with a 60cm softbox. So: 60W or 200W? Should I pay 2X to future-proof?

The Questionable Authority

@questauthority.bsky.social

Your brain and data may be in the internet, a world that is both everywhere and nowhere. But your ass is still firmly planted in the jurisdiction of somebody's courts. And police.

Proton is correct. The odds of you finding a company that won't comply with its local police are basically zero.

Proton @proton.me

You are mistaken, we do not respond to legal requests from anywhere other than the Swiss authorities.

It is unlikely that one could build a business through ignoring the laws of the jurisdiction that it is in. The mail provider you're moving to included.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
