@tilvids Article: The ultimate question is whether having a digital “public space” in the hands of a single billionaire or any corporation with a profit motive is fundamentally a bad thing.Me: Would someone PLEASE explain HOW this could fundamentally be a GOOD thing? Isn't this the ultimate question...?

@cazencott @rysiek @signalapp Can't judge whether the defendants have done anything illegal.It would however be concerning if using Linux and Signal directly turns you into an enemy of the state.Go tell your granny and friends to adopt free and open source software, while it's still allowed !https://gofoss.net

So, Google works on a new evil API.Called "Web Environment Integrity", whatever. Supposedly to improve security on the net.Who are we kidding? This will:1. Compromise privacy: goodbye ad blockers, welcome trackers2. Restrict access to digital content: goodbye Youtube/Netflix/Spotify without Chrome3. Empower Google to decide who's trustworthy: goodbye net neutrality4. Break extensions: goodbye browser competitionLeave Chrome. Install Firefox.#openweb #google #drm #firefox

The most radical act in tech isn’t building something new. It’s keeping the old ideals alive: that users should control their tools, not the other way around.

@divVerent @aral aral pls correct me, the way I took your comment is that we are not "users" but "people", as in humans. Which I can only agree with - so this edit feels right to me. Power to the people! (not the users 😉)

Mr. Doctorow's latest book lays out the AI bubble's inevitable pop. Let's hope, against all odds, that he's wrong this time..."The most important thing about AI isn't its technical capabilities or limitations. The most important thing is the investor [...] mania that has teed up an economical catastrophe."https://pluralistic.net/2025/09/27/econopocalypse/#subprime-intelligence@pluralistic

@nihongomaamaa @pluralistic Another economic collapse won’t just burn the speculators. It’ll torch the people already running on fumes: the underpaid, the overworked, the ones who never got a seat at the table. The architects of this mess will pivot to the next grift. Boom-and-bust cycles aren't justice. Just another way the powerful pass the bill to those who can’t afford it.

For 15 years, F-Droid has been the antidote to Google Play: no trackers, no ads, just open source apps. Now, Google wants to kill it.Under the guise of "security", Google is forcing devs to register, pay, and surrender control. F-Droid can’t comply without betraying its principles. Thousands of apps could vanish overnight.Fight back: demand sideloading rights, pressure regulators/Parliament, and defend one of the safe harbors for ethical tech.https://f-droid.org/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html@marcprux @fdroidorg
