You know you’re with your peeps when you can just say “Remember Internet Explorer 6?” and everyone is like “Oh, yeah. Fuck”.

Man förstod att det inte skulle bli bra. Att det skulle gå så här snabbt, till de här ytterligheterna och helt fruktansvärda beteenden helt i det öppna, är som en spark i magen. Man söker efter en samlande politisk motkraft som också kan prata ärligt om det som händer.

I've always wondered how much of it is by default, but in this case the design decision would be to refrain from addressing the assertiveness - as its effects would be evident in user observation and testing.
I could certainly be commenting on "AI" all day long, but I do feel the post I wrote two years ago is still as true as ever. The hype mob is just hoping we'll grow tired of repeating it.

This could be helpful to others with enough tech skills, but who wouldn’t usually feel comfortable running their own server. I’ve been running my own server for a few years now using Cloudron. If you’re up for it I can really recommend it… www.cloudron.io
I’d never done anything like this before.
If you're looking for a way to get off gmail I can recommend proton.me - during the transition you can forward email to your Proton address.

I think what always helped me is that I primarily write for myself, things that I find important or interesting. And then through this expression I find people whose interests align with mine. Or, I write to teach a concept that I've learned people struggle with.
The uniqueness isn't the topic, I think. It's how your voice comes across when you talk about the topic.
So just as I started raving about the advantages of #Posthaven the whole site appears to have gone down… 😅
The normalization of mass surveillance in Europe, all while directing so much critique at China for doing the things that Europe is now doing, has been a demonstration of gaslighting in slow-motion. It took forty years, but here we are.

Oerhört bra svar. Och jag uppskattar användningen av ordet kälkborgerliga, som jag första gången lärde mig via Birgitta Hammars översättning av Catcher in the Rye.

Haha, excellent. I mention tools from time to time but haven’t really done a single collection before, and not one strictly from a security/ethics perspective which is what I had in mind this time.

Thanks! This looks really good from a first impression.
I’m working on my own recommended list of alternative tools and software for things like email, messaging, search engines, video meetings, and more. It feels useful in the current digital world context, so even though it’s not like my regular content, I’ll likely send it as my next newsletter.
Thomas J. Watson on Hitler's left side. Tech leaders of today are following a tried playbook. IBM directly supported Hitler's plan with tech.
Watson later returned his award from Hitler and was celebrated in the west for his 'business skills'. They named an AI after him.

He asked to be on the podcast. And we let him speak his mind, allowing him to give voice to his values.
Interestingly, Eyal didn't market that show on his own website.

Thanks for sharing Christiane! That post certainly got Eyal’s attention back when I wrote it 😅

Yeah, I use Raindrop and have a Bluesky category.
If only Bluesky would let me DM to myself, that would be an easy way for bookmarking posts.
But… no.
