@omg.jacky.wtf “The problem here is that pretty much any alternative search engine is still going to be pulling at least some of their results from Bing or Google…
Ecosia and Qwant began serving some of their search results from their European search index in August 2025, but it’s still a work in progress.”
@omg.jacky.wtf Context:
“I don’t feel it’s feasible to give up all US social media. I’ve definitely been cutting back over the past year, to the degree that Bluesky is my main platform now and I mainly only use my other accounts to share my work”
There are non-US alts for search

@chadkoh This one has an end-to-end system:
@chadkoh A couple more entries in the genre:
This one has some good prompts for Qwen to help out
@joanwestenberg.com Me too… the one I had in mind was released in 2011
@goose.art A few years ago someone introduced my mother to Cards Against Humanity. You would not believe the questions I had to field after that! 😳
@bmann.ca Yep thread management is powerful but you have to have a librarian/ archivist type peep who enjoy that kinda thing on your team. Luckily, any team with me automagically gets one! 👍🤠👍
this sequence with the Green Snake actually kicking the spears back to the warriors is impressive! I can’t wait to see a live opera in Vancouver

@hyl.st Hopefully your system can filter down to @hyl.st
He is one of the most thoughtful, skilled devs I know. He helps maintain our @commonscomputer.com stack (including the mini pc @z-space.ca that hosts many of our PDSs) in his spare time, is community-oriented, gives great talks, and is a good human!
@hyl.st @hyl.st @apenwarr.ca yes! It is one of the places on my list of good places to be. I’ve tried but hard to get even an interview.
@zeu.dev What a great shot!
@felicitas.pojtinger.com Oh and nice modal.cx shoutout at the end. 👍
@felicitas.pojtinger.com Well I listened to the whole thing.
@felicitas.pojtinger.com Omg 1.5hours! 😮
@rjjago.bsky.social Stephen Walt and Chris Hedges ripped the Trump admin up yesterday. Last year Dr Cornell West’s room was packed! There are some weird politics at play at WebSummit.
Had a coffee in my off hand. Sorry too disapPOINT! 🙃
We will endeavour to do better going forward. — The Editors ☝️🤓
The thing I like about Hardcover, other than its modern-ness, is @adamfortuna.com has figured out a good basis for sustainability. The Letterboxed-style patron model seems to work if you keep a lean operation. They’ve done well to survive over these past 5 years! 🎊
@adamfortuna.com what’s “Tome” Precious?
@chadkoh.com See it now! Thanks!
@chadkoh.com Yes I see it now in the bottom left! Is this new? When I was playing with it before I was impressed with the image galleries but it was not obvious how to enter in alt info.
@chadkoh.com erm, ☝️🤓 ack-chew-ully it is the alt attribute that I have been looking for.
@chadkoh.com Found it here: @defacto-ca.bsky.social
We need to help them get their handle sorted
@werd.io Congrats!
@kaa opposite end of the table but I am so happy Spurs won today too. 😅 Still a ways to go but 🙏
@chadkoh.com Batch 1.
What is your fav app and watchface? This is all new to me
@chadkoh.com Probably my thin computer programmer wrists making it look bigger than it actually is 😅
@chadkoh.com It’s about the same size as my Apple Watch, but thinner. I had the bigger of the standard Apple Watch, so it is not as big as those Apple Ultimate watches.
@chadkoh.com I have been informed that these are not eInk but LCD displays! We regret the error 🙇♂️
Still, I am looking at an eInk phone next.
@chadkoh.com I swear I ordered it within an hour of announcement! And it just came 2 days ago while I was still in Frankfurt
@andypiper Good luck Andy!
@chadkoh.com I will look for them! Currently in the Samurai exhibition by @olegb.bsky.social. It is pretty impressive!
@kevindeyoungster.com What is up with that Dragon Pagoda? Did you get a pic of the inscription? Curious as to its history
@chadkoh.com Yep, pretty much.
But still… a church!?
I suppose the Internet Archive is also in a church, but that seems somehow more fitting than a wework

@chadkoh.com This kinda thing doesn’t happen in Canada…
@chadkoh.com “Lederhosen full of poutine”
What a day…
Back here tomorrow
@chadkoh.com This discussion is mostly about making a standards-based way to express preferences (which may or may not have legal implications, but that is out of scope). Agenda is here if you are interested: ietf-wg-aipref.github.io/wg-materials…
@chadkoh.com Thanks for sharing Blaine. Will review and see where it can inform the debate in this room

@jimray.locket.computer Oh boy. RIP your mentions Jim 🪦
@akurjata.ca Wow! Really reminds me of the Surrey Library. Same architect?
@writingslowly Thank you for the kind words! 🌸
@laurenshof.online Great writing as always, but I am super glad you got to go to MoA and experience some of the west coast culture
@thisismissem.social I agree totally that “for now” a single org makes sense, just to get started. I am just saying there needs to be “make a new shape” right from the beginning. Otherwise you end up with CSSWG extending its 2 year time box… for 25 years.
Centralized Foundations are just too convenient.
