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.
Upgrading my server to Ubuntu 22.04. My websites won’t be reachable for the next couple of hours.
All services are up again. This actually all took only about an hour and 20 minutes. I’m very relieved. 😅
I’m using Tim Hutton’s Python script to improve my Twitter archive.
* short links are changed to the original links,
* it downloads and uses the original higher-quality images,
* and gives you a markdown version of tweets for easier copy-paste into other writing.

There is so much to say on Nielsen's hallucinations about AI, but I'll try to refrain. This paragraph was, however, especially revelatory about his thinking then and now.

Applied ethics is not about deciding if each action is ethical or not. It’s about never being done looking at, forecasting, evaluating and managing the impact of your decision-making. It’s about learning and becoming better at the work. It’s about being open about fails and wins, losses and repairs.
A chart to point at when explaining - for example - who finances the systems, who contributes to the systems and who benefits or suffers from them. The post offers explanations of each grouping in the chart.

”I had an iPod nano with your name written on it” 🎶 😁
Not gonna lie, I miss my iPod nano.
I’m mesmerised by ”The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” each time I read it. This award-winning short story by Ursula K Le Guin is a punch to the gut and forces you to examine yourself, your values and actions.
It’s a tough read and comes with a content warning of child abuse, but I so recommend it.
Where did Le Guin get the name Omelas? Well it turns out she was at one point travelling by car and saw a road sign for Salem, O. (Oregon) in the rearview mirror.
The more you know…
