For everyone building on and around AT Protocol in Belgium (Belgian or otherwise).

I meant to say this earlier but I had to run from CID Congress to making dinner, but: It gives me *feelings* that so many kind and smart people are making and sharing so much cool stuff in dasl.ing and the Atmosphere. My head was spinning and my heart aflutter from today's session.

How not to build trust Last Friday I welcomed two "steps in the right direction" from W Social. But timing is everything. mathewlowry.leaflet.pub

Dammit, shared the edit link again. Here's the right one. mathewlowry.leaflet.pub/3mxgh342lsc2a  Thx @schlage.town !

Proof of human It turns out that drawing the line AI shouldn't cross in my reading/thinking/writing stack and exploring the meaning behind "Verified Human" are two sides of the same coin. mathewlowry.leaflet.pub

Below is a more advanced view of the demo I mentioned last week (leaflet.pub/01a11ba6-80c...). Hours later, #Wsocial brilliantly demonstrated how not to do this, and thus why the approach to be demo'd later this month is the way forward.

Robin Berjon @robin.berjon.com This is just the demo (come see us presenting it with @vdbdavid.eurosky.social at www.vlaanderen.be/trefdag-vlaa... next week!) but: - Optional ID verification - Only showed my ID to the government, super easy with myGov.be - My details aren't stored on protocol

Robin Berjon @robin.berjon.com

We want to take the time to look at better privacy options as well as fuidify the process before releasing this widely. It'll also never be mandated unless we are required to by law. But it's very cool to be able to create multiple overlapping signals if trust this way!

Lees u eerst eens in hoe het protocol werkt. Elk account hier is een 'Atmosphere' account die u toegang geeft tot tal van atproto apps. Maar blijkbaar gaan jullie er nog steeds van uit van het principe één account, één platform. 🤷

Hoeveel keer gaan we aan onze MPs nog moeten uitleggen dat berichten geplaatst worden in de Atmosphere en opgepikt worden door verschillende platformen waaronder Bluesky. Als gebruiker weet je niet vanuit welk platform men de berichten heeft geplaatst.

Maurits Vande Reyde @mauritsvandereyde.bsky.social Het blijft zo geweldig grappig hoe linkse journalisten met hun echte naam op X zitten, daar content halen om die dan anoniem op Bluesky te posten voor vijf gelijkgezinden.

Aidan is entirely correct — and we can use the Digital Omnibus to fix this. See berjon.com/data-omnibus/.

A Real Digital Omnibus for European Competitiveness and Security This document is offered as an expert contribution to ongoing discussions about the data aspects of the Digital Omnibus. Drawn from my experience in digital policy, technology strategy, and digital business, I find that the Commission's current Omnibus proposal contains a small number of provisions that achieve genuine simplification and strengthen the reliability of the regulatory environment, alongside a larger number of provisions that, however well-intentioned, would produce outcomes contrary to the legislative aims set out in the Commission's own framing. My purpose is to provide the framework and background information necessary for trilogue interlocutors to identify which provisions can be retained, which can be improved, and which should be reconsidered, so that the final Omnibus achieves the impact that its proponents seek. berjon.com

Aidan O’Brien @aidanobrien.bsky.social Just a reminder, the Irish government has used its time holding the EU presidency to introduce a proposal to weaken EU data privacy regulations. This measure would allow AI companies to scrap private information from hundreds of millions of EU citizens to use for their training models.

We have a super-packed agenda for CID Congress tomorrow with an all-star cast @norman.life, @bad-example.com, @maboa.bsky.social, @kandake.africa, and @pyxorium.com! There are people who could know the shape of the future but choose not to — don't be one of them, and join us at luma.com/8w8swmx2!

I think that one of the most successful plays that the tech lobby has made has been to make the tech space extremely unattractive to anyone interested in actual change.

Liz Carolan @lizcarolan.com Virkkunen ends her speech, mostly about how the EU will be an “AI Continent” with a reference to Sean’s Heaney’s Digging, saying every generation has its instrument - and maybe our pen / shovel is AI Our culture is really being mined here today Her speech ends and she and An Taoiseach flee

"atproto is like signing in with gmail" they said... Well, it doesn't feel like that. Gmail doesn't keep on asking me my password several times a day. @eurosky.social would it be possible to increase the time we remain logged in to at least 3 days? Or is the issue somewhere else ?

Mathew Lowry @mathewlowry.eurosky.social

I started vibe coding my content pipeline onto the Atmosphere in August, and the only reason I haven't finished is because I quickly realized that if I give it a few more weeks all the pieces I need will be built by other people who, unlike me, probably know what they're doing. 😄 Case in point...

sōm ⁂ @hyl.st Okay frick it, I'm announcing the project I've been working on. It's called Reams, a markdown editor that syncs over atproto spaces. It works offline, doesn't require a login, and has a bunch of features packed in. Try it at reams.ink, install the PWA for the best experience!

Robin Berjon @robin.berjon.com
