Why should I register on W Social again? What’s the point?
#WSocial will open up their beta program today… and I have a SCOOP for you: it appears that they have quietly gone closed-source!
This is ironic, considering that the @EUCommission just unveiled their Tech Sovereignty Package, emphasizing the importance of #OpenSource. And yet they have migrated their main ATproto accounts to W Social - whose code can no longer be inspected!
My full article - with a great analysis by @aral:

Jeg har lige købt basiskort. Jeg vidste godt at der var færre steder at checke ind på stationerne og at de ansvarlige har gang i en stor nudging-kampagne til at få folk til at bruge apps (nudging er generøst, formynderisk er nok det rette udtryk). Nu hvor jeg står på stationen, bliver jeg alligevel vred over at se, at den ene maskine på hele stationen desuden er placeret helt nede i den ene ende. Objektivt set det mindst belejlige sted.
