This is Saskia Welch, Head of Community for @newsmastfoundation.org, Grand Prize Winner of the #OpenSocialAwards! 🏆 Newsmast proves the open social web is for everyone. They make it easy for mission-driven groups throughout the world to build and maintain bespoke online spaces on their own terms.
Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. Since 5.1.0: secure tap trusting, faster JSON API, Linux sandboxing, better defaults, brew bundle improvements, improved performance, initial macOS Golden Gate support.
News tends to treat technology as something that happens to it, like an asteroid. To better navigate the future, we need to imagine what might come next.

This is a big deal: a European-hosted new application layer for the AT Protocol / Bluesky network. You can now create an account on the network and interact with anyone on it entirely without entering US jurisdiction.

I am deadly serious: while Doctor Who is resting, if someone is planning a New Adventures style line of books, I want to see the call for submissions. And if someone *isn't* planning a New Adventures style line of books, I have a business deal I would like to make. #doctorwho

"The problem tends to show up when a CEO is handed an agentic tool like Claude Code, and has it create something, which will work just fine, and thinks “oh, wait, why do we need so many people, when I can just sit here and make things work?” This is a bad CEO." werd.io/the-honest-t...
