Do you remember the surprise announcement of a new social network in Davos this past January? Something that promised to be the "first" European social network?

Its name is #WSocial and it's a fork of #Bluesky. Its founders have ties with European politicians - but there is no official involvement by the EU.

You wouldn't know any of this from media reports because they all rehashed their talking points. So I wrote a post about it, dispelling some myths:

Bei der Bestellung meines e-Autos erzählte mir der Verkäufer, dass ich über eine "THG Prämie" ca 300 € pro Jahr bekommen könne.
Ich nehme an, hier handelt es sich um CO2 Zertifikate/Verschmutzungshandel?

Meine Frage: Lohnt es sich darauf zu verzichten? Also, wird wirklich irgendwo weniger CO2 ausgestoßen, wenn ich "meine" Quote nicht verkaufe?

regarding Lenovo UK service stealing my fucking RAM and forging the records: https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/116217052540315029

just got email from BMJ of the original purchase. 32GB, mate. not the 16GB it now has.

lenovo silently closed the previous ticket. i pinged them just now saying i had the docs. how do i get them to you?

i stated what i wanted: lenovo to make good and replace the missing RAM that disappeared in the process of service.

the guy on chat is powerless, but I asked him to escalate and get someone to actually *email* me in writing re: lenovo's next action in this case.

then the connection dropped (thinking face spinning around)

oh and he didn't answer "how do I get you the docs", didn't even ask for them

i have the material now to go loud, but let's see if they get back to me.

Yo there @GrapheneOS, something has to be done about this social presence.

I like #GrapheneOS and want to follow along, but the daily wall of text with dozens of messages rehashing the same points re /e/ and friends is getting old. I'm sure I'm not alone. We get it. We know.

You need to do something for the people that already care. Put them first. Maybe split the debunking campaign out to a secondary profile or something like that, but stop burning the goodwill of people that already get it.
