Pablo Soria-Rojas

Share the joy so we all can share the joy!

Two of the documents are heavily redacted, like some sort of CIA stuff or the Epstein files. Like, seriously? What is W Social and the EC hiding?

Some shady business between W and the EC, in my personal opinion.

@leafplaza.eu empezó como un clon de la app de Bluesky. Ya tiene traducciones con DeepL, hoy añadimos notificaciones desde servidores en la UE * Prueba la app gratis con tu cuenta Bluesky * Si te gusta, apóyanos migrando a una cuenta LeafPlaza por menos al año que un mollete en Sevilla-Santa Justa

[gets notified in Spanish]

Hereby I want to grant the first "Pablo Soria Rojas World Peace Price" to W Social.

Quite impressed so far by the @leafplaza.eu app for iOS. After the launch of @eurosky.social, this is another step towards #digitalsovereignty!

This has always been theoretically possible. There are plenty of examples where verifications happen without exchanging and then storing any sensitive data. This does not take away the complexity of this implementation, bravo @robin.berjon.com Also, it says a lot about the W architectural design.

I though for quite some time this was a joke about HTML.

Citypop is so... addictive 🇯🇵

What about cats? And catnip?

The point of verification is to ensure there is a responsible human behind an account. W's approach is dumb and dangerous but ultimately result of poor decision making. The whole ID thing + W's involvement is a mistake by the EC and the EPP. Leaders should be held responsible.

Just testing some stuff... LeafPlaza's own push notifications service. Please don't spam me too much (just a bit, I need to test after all)

Needs visibility @leafplaza.eu

Have a Bluesky account? Try @leafplaza.eu with it. If you like it, support us with a LeafPlaza account and migrate - a full year is about the cost of a coffee. Or don't. Just keep using it with your Bluesky account. Do what you want, I am not your mom.

I worked in B2B SaaS in the past and we feared the store reviews. W seems to not fear anything, keeps doing awful stuff. This time leaking private data. Is this freepass from their client, the EC? If I were a client I would be complaining.

I'd argue that they should have run a tender with rules and deadlines if they want it hosted externally, but that's just details. The bottomline is the missing transparency in the decision making.

European watchdog probes Commission over apparent preference for social network ‘W’ Published today under @euractiv.com's newsletter THE HACK. Paywall link: www.rapporteur.com/news/the-hac...

UPDATE: W Social and the European Commission. The Commission moved its AT Protocol presence to WSocial with no public criteria published. The Ombudsman said that needs explanation: what criteria, and how were they assessed across platforms? Support us by getting a LeafPlaza account

Less Google in your stack is definitely a win

Cannot get this one out of my brain

Testing features is my new passion.

Neat

Project Zomboid is basically The Sims with zombies.

That thing about the turtle and the hare.

Diversification is for peasants. Doom integrates. Doom AI trains on Doom data, hosted on Doom clouds, secured by Doom defence grids, monetized via Doom Capital. Regulators call this a “monopoly.” Doom calls it “a single, coherent vertical.”

In a world full of funky leaders wanting to establish their own banana republics, anybody wants to have access to read even the text in your shower gel. What if Europe could offer "privacy as a service" to the world and make some tech champions on the way?

Yeah, I after the whole Trump red card thing I hope Belgium scores 6 goals against the US. Allez!

Sometimes I feel like coding. Something FOSS would be nice. Give something useful to the world. Then I remember how bad I am at it and how much troubleshoot I do with AI to fix my own bugs (and then the AI bugs). Then, I no longer feel like coding.

@eldiario.es quizás os interesaría revisar este tema sobre conflictos de interés en la Comisión EU. Encantado de haceros llegar más información y documentación.

⚽Paraguay is playing the classic Paraguayan way. Barely scoring, defending with a lot of passion, killing giants. They will struggle eventually with a well balanced team, but for the time being, they stay and Germany is packing🧳. They deserve a hard earned celebration.

The best game of the tournament I missed it because fridge = kaput?!?!?!

My take here is that everybody should pick a battle and go with it against the Commission on this matter. Only public pressure will force their hand to bring transparency and maybe some sort of correction.

Me: I need to find out more information on this topic. AI: MANDATUM!!!

Political Sciences degrees are not only useful to serve fast food, they are also useful for these kind of things. (nervously laughs with two political sciences degrees)

@leafplaza.eu was at the #europcom today, but we could not ask any question. So we ask the questions we had for @anna.wsocial.eu and @wsocial.eu here 👇

Our website is getting an overhaul. No disruption is expected, but changes here and there will be visible for the next couple of days. In the meanwhile, why not check our Transparency Page? If something is wrong or off, ping us. That's the whole point of that page! www.leafplaza.eu/transparency/

It is quite simple to understand If something is somewhat *legally* tied to a US company or individual, it's a subject to the US Cloud Act, hence not sovereign So even if there is a technical barrier, the association of Google to this project makes it non-sovereign www.reuters.com/business/aer...

I am not sure how my favorite SNES game will be welcomed by my kid.

Here are some thoughts we have at LeafPlaza about Attie, Bluesky's AI project.

While big tech dreams about technofeudalism, some people are becoming artisans in what they do. Even if what they do is software.

I am divided in between watching @attie.ai (so what I know what they are up to) or block them. So I guess @leafplaza.eu will block them and I will follow them. I stay behind the lines, folks. Wish me luck. I will report back.

Come and join the party 🚀

Maybe another day I will tell you the fascinating story of releasing an app from scratch in both Google Play and Apple App Store. And why it is so hard. Maybe even @jake.app.leafplaza.eu can chip in too. But today, we serve the main course at lunch time! @leafplaza.eu

LeafPlaza is cooking tonight. Stay tuned for tomorrow! 🍳

Hi Europeans, quick update: We are launching LeafPlaza as a closed beta. Our servers in Lithuania are ready, but we need to ensure nothing breaks before opening the beta. You can still make it to the waiting list in our website for a free account. We will keep you posted! www.leafplaza.eu

Science is not sure this is something genetic. And even if the genetic odds are confirmed, they are extremely low. So by all estimations, what that person claims is bollocks.

#FantasticFour is set in the future we were promised, tech is cool, humanity is united, space exploration is a thing, people love LPs. Instead of that, we got selfies in Auschwitz, Putin, global warming, and Mecha Hitler. 10/10 childhood dream achieved (the movie, real life sort of sucks)

At @leafplaza.eu our north star is #EUTechAutonomy. That's why we got @telemetrydeck.com built-in so we can understand our users better. Check them out: easy to adopt, cookieless, GDPR ready, and made in Augsburg, Germany. @breakth-esystem.bsky.social and Lisa Figas, we love what you're working on!
