Reclaiming RSS
“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”

Wait, what. Windows 10 sends info on USB devices plugged in directly to Microsoft?
And it does that using pure HTTP?

You gotta be kidding me.
"The money that #Stockholm University saves at the cancelled agreement with large science publisher #Elsevier will be used to publish research in full Open Access journals.
According to Stockholm University, the transition to #openscience is slow and the publishing in hybrid #journals, where you publish separate articles Open Access in an otherwise subscription-based journal, does not urge the development quickly enough."
"#Equifax avoided fines in a deal with eight states’ banking regulators over a data breach that compromised sensitive data of more than 145 million people"
Not even a fine. For breaching the sensitive information of almost 150,000,000 people.
Not. Even. A fine.
...that'll teach 'em.
"Like the railroads of colonial empire, US multinationals have consolidated control over the structural components of the digital ecosystem, which has been engineered for ruling-class dominance over social, political and economic life."

“#EuropeanaTech: Centralize, Decentralize, and Sailing on in the Same Boat” by @josemurilo
“Experts and professionals involved with cultural heritage have a strong sense of ownership of their data . This is an important differential over society at large, which does not seem concerned about having its data appropriated by the large Internet corporations.”

It's time to rein in the #DataBarons
"Their dominance is allowing them to play a dangerous and outsize role in our politics and culture…
The sooner we find smart ways to diminish the firms’ dominance of our data, the better."

"La metáfora biológica es muy potente y sirve para comprender fenómenos complejos que abarcan muchos agentes en permanente mutación y que viven procesos emergentes.
Hay muchos campos del conocimiento -como la economía- donde el modelo evolutivo-ecológico, potenciado por las teorías de la complejidad y la auto-organización, ha permitido avanzar muchísimo en la comprensión de fenómenos como los procesos de innovación tecnológica."

"#Language works by activating brain structures called “frame-circuits” used to understand experience. They get stronger when we hear the activating language. Enough repetition can make them permanent, changing how we view the world.
From ‘#spygate’ to #‘fakenews’, Trump is using language to frame – and win – debates. And the press operate like his marketing agency"

I've recently switched away from #DuckDuckGo and migrated to:
It's a meta-search engine that mixes your queries with other queries and sends them to a handful of other search engines.
You get fast results from highly specific search engines (Google, Erowid, Archive.is, Soundcloud, YouTube, all the good ones) without actually sending them your real query.
I love it.
#Environmentalism for the Net:
"the prevailing view that the harm from digital data enterprise is inflicted only to the privacy of the people whose information is used.. [ignores] how the information individuals give affects others, and how it undermines and degrade public goods and interests."
#DigitalServices.gov
"there is growing acceptance by many #governments that these teams are useful tool in driving new practices, particularly #agile development processes and #usercentric design. Less clear, but still a possibility, is the key question of whether these units can enable the deeper #digitaltransformation that will prompt a fundamental rethink in how technology could re-shape governments for the 21st century."

"Lava Jato deveria ter investigado e-mails de FHC para Marcelo Odebrecht", comentário no @jornaldacbn2 sobre mensagens que, pelo padrão da operação, teriam indícios suficientes para apuração, não fosse o uso de dois pesos e duas medidas."
Dois pesos e duas medidas é exatamente a antítese de justiça. #LavaJato #FHC
To Save #Democracy, We Must Change Social Media Networks
"The triple alliance of #digitalcapitalism, #neoliberalism ideology and #farright politics” are evident in #CambridgeAnalytica, the Musk troll mob, & Thiel/Mercer’s attacks on universities.
the promise of #socialnetworks has fallen into the hands of actors in a larger network, namely that of corporate interests. The only way out is by creating alternative #publicnetworks and #cooperativeplatforms."
"Once a unifying national symbol, #Brazil's traditional #yellow jersey is now politically toxic, having been transformed into a ultraconservative symbol.
Brazilians who oppose the #Coup. are creating their own alternative attire to show support for the team in Russia.
Facing worst shirt sales ever in the lead up to a #WorldCup, CBF (the #football federation) has moved to ban sale of “#Leftist” #Red versions of the iconic jersey."

Billions served? #HumanRights in the Facebook era
From "the most powerful technological catalysts for free speech and democratic mobilization" in 2011,
#Facebook today offers "from monitoring people's activities and behavior to promoting political campaigns or ideologies".
@globalvoices@twitter knows it better.
Here is a look back at some of #GlobalVoices's most influential coverage of hate speech, harassment, and political censorship on the world’s largest social network.

GitHub Is Microsoft’s $7.5 Billion Undo Button
"For many yrs, #Microsoft officially hated #opensource software. But after many years of ritual humiliation in the realms of search, mapping, and especially mobile, Microsoft apparently accepted that the 1990s were over."
Now it owns #Github.
