#Eurosky, Blueskys European sibling, has launched their own web client "mu.social" as an alternative to "bsky.app"

This means both client and servers are now hosted in Europe.

For now the experience is pretty much the same, except Mu supports editing ,once, for about five minutes after posting.
(Yeah, I know Mastodon...)

Also, pink is the new blue!

How "convenient" for #Russia to be able to take down respectively #GPS and/or the #China equivalent #Beidou, whenever they please!

I wonder what they would need that for... 🤔

But also, what kind of backup do we have when "Article 5" is suddenly in effect? 😬

Me: Hello hi yes I have evidence that your system is not working.
Support: Interesting, could you please provide evidence of something else entirely?
Me: Er, uh, I mean sure, maybe? Did... I think you misunderstood yourself?
