How Jay Graber Is Making Sure Bluesky Never Turns Into Elon Musk’s X Since Elon Musk torpedoed Twitter, Bluesky has seen a stunning surge. CEO Jay Graber is working on “billionaire-proofing” social media against any similar takeover.

"Da quando Elon Musk ha affondato Twitter, Bluesky ha conosciuto una sbalorditiva impennata. Il CEO Jay Graber sta lavorando per rendere il social media ‘a prova di miliardario’ contro qualsiasi simile acquisizione"

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo wrote in a post on Friday that Apple is losing market share in China due to declining iPhone shipments.

Apple practically bribes China to stay in that market. But as trade wars escalate Apple and Tesla could be impacted.

The Chinese word for America is "Měiguó" or literally "the beautiful country." To the common Chinese immigrant, it was sold as a country of opportunity and wealth. So the alien is asking about the USA and the Chinese guys.

People ask me what my hobbies are.
One of them is definitely Books.
Not just reading books and getting lost in them but the smell of books, going to (used)bookstores and libraries.

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site.

How Bluesky rose out of Twitter's ashes to challenge X and Threads Bluesky could be on the verge of a turning point if it continues rapidly attracting users and finds a way to monetize without scaring them off.

I started being regularly published when I was 25. I didn't make my first dollar writing until I was 30. I didn't sell my first novel or screenplay until I was 35. Many of you hadn't even heard of anything I'd written until I was over 40.

You have time. There is no expiration date on writers.

What's the difference with Grammarly? English isn't my first language—I'm Italian—and it's incredible how much it helps me with my writing style.

What is fluency? The dictionary says it's "the ability to speak or write a language easily, well, and quickly".

"Speak OR write", meaning you could be fluent in speaking but not writing, and vice versa.

Speaking, writing, listening, and reading are different skills that all need practice.

I promise I'll not unfollow you :)
