Jay Graber steps down as Bluesky CEO, moves into chief innovation officer role at social media platform

 

"Bluesky CEO Jay Graber announced Monday that she’s stepping down from her position and moving to a new role as chief innovation officer of the decentralized social network.

“As Bluesky matures, the company needs a seasoned operator focused on scaling and execution, while I return to what I do best: building new things,” Graber, who is based in Seattle, wrote in a post.

Toni Schneider, former CEO of Automattic (operates WordPress.com) and partner at True Ventures, is joining Bluesky as interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent new leader.

“I deeply believe in what this team has built and the open social web they’re fighting for,” Schneider, who has been an advisor to Bluesky and Graber, wrote on LinkedIn. He also penned a blog post on Bluesky.

Graber has led Bluesky since 2021, when it spun out of Twitter. The platform has become a leading alternative to X, growing its user base 60% last year from 25.9 million users to 41.4 million. The company reported Monday that it now has 43 million users.

“Scaling up this company has been a learning experience unlike anything else,” Graber wrote in her post. “I’ve grown a lot as a leader and had the privilege of assembling the best team I’ve ever worked with.”

She added: “I’m most energized by exploring new ideas, bringing a vision to life, and helping people discover their strengths. Transitioning to a more focused role where I can do what brings me energy is my way of putting that belief into practice.”

Wired reported that the chief innovation officer position was created for Graber, who also sits on the company’s board.

Bluesky has differentiated itself from other social media networks with the AT Protocol, an open technical standard for social media that Bluesky’s team built as the foundation for its network. Most social networks today are walled gardens, where one company runs the servers, owns the data, and sets the rules.

“Last year, we grew a world-class team, expanded the AT Protocol ecosystem, and proved that a values-driven social network could thrive at scale,” Graber wrote.

Bluesky has no official headquarters. Graber and several employees work out of a co-working space in Seattle.

Graber was honored at last year’s GeekWire Gala as one of five Uncommon Thinkers — inventors, scientists, and entrepreneurs selected in partnership with Greater Seattle Partners for their work transforming industries and the world."

Microsoft Windows 2000 Odessy ain't even real it is the UK...

"Odyssey (also known as NT6) was the codename for a version of Microsoft Windows that was intended to succeed Windows 2000. It was cancelled sometime in 2000 and was merged with Neptune to create Windows XP.^[2]"

Development

"Development of Odyssey began alongside the consumer-based Neptune project in 1999 and was based on the Windows 2000 codebase.^[2] Features planned for Odyssey were the new Activity Centers as well as a new user interface.^[2][1] The version number of Odyssey is unknown, with some unverified sources claiming it as NT 6.0 or NT 5.5.^[3]

Due to high hardware requirements and because Odyssey and Neptune were built on the same codebase, Microsoft combined them to form a new product codenamed Whistler, for efficiency.^[2] No builds or versions of Odyssey were ever leaked or released by Microsoft as the product never left the planning stage.^[3]"

"Confidential documents from the Comes vs. Microsoft case do state that Odyssey was indeed under development."

Netflix Officially Says Goodbye to Christopher Nolan’s Favorite Fast and Furious Movie

 "Christopher Nolan has spent his career making some of the most ambitious movies in Hollywood, from Inception and Interstellar to Oppenheimer and The Dark Knight. This is, in essence, a blockbuster auteur and we've seen him in the Criterion Closet. We know this man has taste. So when he starts describing the lore, the action and the thrills of the lowest-grossing installment of Hollywood's most unlikely franchise, you know it's an interesting thing to listen to."

 hat movie is The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and the 2006 action thriller is officially leaving Netflix in the United States. Directed by Justin Lin, the third installment in the franchise took audiences away from the familiar faces of the first two movies, introducing a new cast and moving the action to Japan. Nolan has previously praised the movie and Lin's direction, describing it as his favorite installment in the series.

"The story follows American teenager (although that's pushing it given how old he looks) Sean Boswell as, following one too many run-ins with the authorities and trouble at school, is shipped off to Tokyo to live with his disciplinarian dad. There, he falls into the drifting scene in Tokyo, and Sean soon finds himself caught up in a rivalry with a local racer known as the Drift King, while developing a friendship with Han, who teaches him how to survive on the streets."

"The cast is led by Lucas Black (NCIS: New Orleans) as Sean Boswell, alongside Sung Kang (Fast Five) as Han, Brian Tee (Chicago Med) as Takashi, Nathalie Kelley (The Vampire Diaries) as Neela, Bow Wow (Like Mike) as Twinkie, Brian Goodman (Rizzoli & Isles) as Major Boswell, and Sonny Chiba (Kill Bill) as Kamata. Vin Diesel also makes a brief appearance as Dominic Toretto".
