They also laughed at Bozo the Clown. Why “they laughed at Galileo” is a fallacy, not evidence — and why, in health, the gap between persuasion and proof carries a body count. https://geofox.org/posts/galileo-gambit/10 Jun 2026 07:03 +0000at://did:web:geofox.org/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnw5gduedk26https://bsky.app/profile/geofox.org/post/3mnihwr4kkk2hTikTok is teaching a generation what ADHD is. The problem: two clinical psychologists checked the 100 most-viewed ADHD videos and found under half the symptom claims (48.7%) were accurate. The fake-science clips weren't the fringe. They were the popular ones.

The IETF chartered a working group, "Authenticated Transfer Protocol", to standardise atproto's core. Worth understanding what that does and, more importantly, what it doesn't. 🧵 1/1131 May 2026 07:42 +0000at://did:web:geofox.org/app.bsky.feed.post/3mn52w6uexk2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/geofox.org/post/3mmvws5qi5226🌡️ Europe is under a heatwave, let’s talk about sunscreen! Many think mineral sunscreens are "natural" and chemical ones are toxic, but (surprise!) it’s not the case at all.

SpaceX reportedly wants a ~$1.75T valuation on $18.7B revenue and a $4.9B 2025 net loss: roughly 94x sales. That’s a hardware + AI capex story being priced like a near-monopoly software platform. 1/425 May 2026 15:56 +0000at://did:web:geofox.org/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmotqppejs2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/geofox.org/post/3mmi2orekec2y“The open web is on its way out,” “Internet traffic now often begins and ends with a visit to Google.” “With A.I., Google is reducing everyone to raw data providers.” Not to be a Luddite but it’s sad. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/business/google-seach-bar-ai-gemini.html22 May 2026 23:12 +0000at://did:web:geofox.org/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmi2orekec2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/geofox.org/post/3mmhqdkk44k2yI now run a Mastodon instance, a Nostr relay (with Tor), and a Bluesky PDS — three different answers to 'how do you build a social network no single company can switch off?'
