What are you all doing for online meeting solutions? Would love to find a small team building an EU-based meeting tool.
One I’ve found so far is Eyeson, that requires more dev skills than I’m looking for.
I use Whereby today, which is Norwegian and hence outside the EU.
A self-hosted Jitsi is a fair choice, but doesn’t really have the user management I’m looking for to host my meetings.
I’m likely being too picky, but any tool experiences you have to share are welcomed.
@hanno Thank you for this lovely feedback. I'm glad you found it of value. 🙏
@ryanschultz Ah nice. You'll have to check back with me in a month and let me know how you feel about it.
@meena Sometimes I just tell them I can't see whatever they sent me and often they just shrug. Because I'm obviously the weird one. 😅
Why I left algorithm-based social media and what happened next.
A blog adaptation of a 15-minute talk.
BAMAMA.
My sugggested acronym for the big tech companies stealing most of the world’s attention: ByteDance Apple Microsoft Alphabet Meta Amazon.
Used in a sentence:
”I was hoping for a nice, quiet day without disturbances but then I stepped in the BAMAMA.”
@dinkompismia @Robsodergren @LeoR1010@mastodon.social Åh vilken bra påminnelse. Den där har jag på min läslista.
Den här artikeln var en bra introduktion till boken:
It’s weird, but that scene in The Fifth Element when Leeloo learns what war is becomes so much more powerful now, knowing that Milla Jovovich was born in Kiev.
@tante To be a good pessimist you have to be optimistic in the belief that that there are much better paths. 😊
I love the writing experience provided by OmmWriter. I just finished writing the draft for a new talk in record time.
The talk is entitled Why I left algorithm-based social media and what happened next. And I will be using dolls and a dollhouse as my visual aid rather than slides!

Three lessons from a man who averted nuclear war by not trusting a computer
@futureisfoss Thanks so much for the feedback 😊
Happy Petrov Day.
On this day in 1983 Stanislav Petrov refused to trust a computer and thus prevented a nuclear war.
Awful AI is an extensive curated list by David Dao showcasing some of the most creepy, unethical and scary uses of AI we’ve seen over the past years.
I wrote about the dangerous video that World Ethical Data Forum autoplays at the top of their homepage.
You will also learn how animated gifs are being weaponised to target vulnerable individuals.
The World Ethical Data Forum looks like an interesting event. But they have an animated banner on their start page that keeps flashing and can trigger seizures for people with photo-sensitive epilepsy. 😕
Modern ID systems: Watching a global identity crisis unfold | Technology | Al Jazeera
"Yet on International Identity Day, we are seeing these modern, technology-driven ID systems – adopted by a growing number of countries – continue to facilitate exclusion and surveillance, while exacerbating insecurity and vulnerability for communities that are already among the most marginalised."
@malte Very cool. Yes, it’s important to realise that each state has its own system.
@DCLXVI I can identify with the despair, at the same time as I am always looking for signs of hope and compassion.
Teaching helps me see the energy and willingsness among young adults to work differently.
Sometimes I imagine many of us are in the grief stage of depression and detachment, and need to work our way through this. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed and stand back for a little bit.
@DCLXVI 😊 Yeah results don’t always turn out the way we want no matter the election system.
Sorry I came across as boasting. Not my intent. I didn’t invent the system or choose to keep it. Just thankful.
