„Eventuell könnte man sogar in Kooperation mit Frankreich einen datenschutzfreundlichen Messenger-Dienst aufbauen, der mittelfristig als gesamteuropäische Lösung eine echte Alternative zu bestehenden Produkten auf dem Markt darstellen könnte“, schlägt Kelber dazu sogar vor.

Schönes Beispiel, warum ich nicht ohne Tracking-Blocker (hier: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/umatrix/) im Netz unterwegs bin. Über 30 einzelne Tracker in einem Artikel der Süddeutschen Zeitung mit dem Titel: „Wie Tiktok seine Nutzer überwacht“ #privacy #datenschutz

@Gargron , was limitiert #Mastodon und das Fediverse insgesamt im Kontext #politischeKommunikation? Fehlende #Reichweite? Fehlende Journalist_innen - also auch irgendwie Reichweite? Datenschutzbedenken - also nicht genug Vertrauen in die #Hackerethik der Admins? Skepsis, ob die Moderation beim dezentralen Ansatzes effektiv funktioniert?
Was könnten wir wie ändern?

So many reasons, why you should consider closing your #Facebook account. Here is a nice documented list:

"A 5G base station is generally expected to consume roughly three times as much power as a 4G base station. And more 5G base stations are needed to cover the same area."

Oh, and this will also impact the cellphone's battery. And possibly weather satellites.

Way back when the "Grammar of Graphics" taught us a principled way to think about visualisations. Vega-Lite gives a grammar of _interactive_ graphics (and a pretty neat open source project too!): https://blog.acolyer.org/2019/10/21/a-grammar-of-interactive-graphics

I am losing track of the insurrections and global revolt that is happening. It's a beautiful feeling, to feel overwhelmed with the surges of people against cops, against fascists, against capital

In the meanwhile, I am very much a fan of Kicks' page on hypertexting:

Also, being part of a coop it's not as simple as "cut out management and you can just run the company yourselves!"

There are so many new skills I've had to learn and still need to learn for our coop to be successful.

That's not to then say that management deserves to be paid more than other workers or that we need a hierarchical structure for companies to run.

Management skills should be democratized and be collaborative, rather than hierarchical and coercive. Really to the point where "management" isn't even the right word anymore.

But I can see that to many people trying to use the argument that bosses, landlords, etc. "don't do anything" or are parasites isn't going to match with people's experiences.

There are plenty of other critiques to be made of bosses that will resonate more.
