I had a try at making this

Enter your handle and it will find people followed by lots of the people you follow (but not you)
I'm also cautious about DeepSeek because of the TikTok precedent. You simply cannot trust a dictatorial country. We've been burned far too many times.
Baffling to see the disclosure around DeepSeek

Last I checked the tech industry, we celebrate small teams pushing the industry forward, coming up w novel ways to build software more efficiently. And sharing it.

Yet now there's a class of folks who think this is some bad thing?

The 2025 #Trump reminds me very much of the 2000-2004 #putin

Won the election with an overwhelming public, but more important oligarchs support.

Is going all about the greatness of his country, at times ignoring all the limits.

Doing lots of populist 💩
He's older though, than his role-model

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

I've been living in Amsterdam and today I had a realization that I barely used the metro system and don't even know all the line names. I hope it stays like this, lol.

Bluesky: like a WW2 re-enactment society, but for people who were on Twitter in 2010.

CSAM content has risen 10x week-over-week. While we detect confirmed cases quickly, manual review is still necessary for NCMEC reports. This increase impacts our mods, who are repeatedly exposed to such content. 4/7

Parking space for bikes at a train station in Amsterdam.

Imagine what this infrastructure would look like catering to a similar number of cars.

WhatsApp cannot become a viable alternative for Telegram groups if they don't allow comments in "Updates". Also "Updates" need to feature in the main screen. And "Updates" is a bad name, try to search for it.
