If you've ever tried to implement an OAuth Application for Mastodon, and butted into the “unknown client_id / application” error, where the Mastodon server has silently deleted your OAuth Application….

I have good news for you:We've removed the OAuth Application Vacuuming from Mastodon: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/30316

Google's own researchers now say AI is a top vector of disinfo, in a paper that severely and obviously undercounts the problem

“Empty Innovation” at Re:Publica 2024 #rp24

Under the motto "Who Cares" Re:Publica gathered a few thousand people in Berlin and I got to give a talk continuing the path I started out on with my last two talks in 2022 and 2023. Titled "Empty Innovation" I tried outlining my understanding of the patterns of the weird technological hypes we've gone through in the last years, why they happen and also what this mode of "innovation" does to us as people, communities and societies.

Sorry to say, archive.org is under a ddos attack. The data is not affected, but most services are unavailable.

We are working on it & will post updates in comments.

"Social media."

Originally this was supposed to go out with today's newsletter but I figured it might be better to see if people have feedback on it before I send it out to the list

Basically just having some thoughts on how I approach my social media.

ChatGPT spooked Google into replacing search + links with search + AI answers that are sometimes Very Wrong. Too late to turn back?

Balaji Srinivasan is leading a growing tech movement to take over San Francisco and “ethnically cleanse” it of Silicon Valley’s critics.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke to @gilduran about network states and tech billionaires’ turn against democracy.

According to Federated Social Network Service/System (SNS) History, the term "Fediverse" was coined on 2012-05-25. Long before #ActivityPub... just sayin'.

"Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

The computer, however, will stop you from recording DRM'd content.

Find it fascinating that when faced with drawing safety and security boundaries, the primary beneficiary is not the owner of the device, or the person using it, but random corporations who control the intellectual property rights.

The system doesn't work for you.

"...a would-be hacker would need to gain physical access to your device, unlock it and sign in before they could access saved screenshots."

I've got some news for Microsoft about how domestic abuse works.

Saw some text online that made me want to turn it into signage. What good are graphic design skills if you can't have a little fun with them.😜

One thing I find sad is that a lot if folms treated VR as just another tech fad and ditched it for crypto when that became the fad. Now a bunch of the same folks are following AI. Especially sad when fad chading meant ditching code and community for the next best thing only to abandon it again. It feels like the fad chasing means the fad in question doesn't get a fair chance to actually accomplish it's potential.

For more than a year, policy makers have been worried about the consequences of AI getting too powerful.

But it’s time to start worrying about the consequences of AI staying as dumb it currently is.

2024: OpenAI releases a free virtual assistant with a weirdly flirty voice.

2025: Millions of men become emotionally attached to the AI.

2026: OpenAI threatens to delete your virtual girlfriend if you don't pay a monthly subscription. You must also buy her digital flowers or she will hate you.

By the way, do you have a personal website and does it have a home page? (I’m pretty sure it does… 😁)

I would love to know: what’s on your “home” and why?

Feel free to share a link, of course. 🤗 As always, I’m also asking on behalf of my #OwnYourWeb newsletter subscribers.

I built a prototype for client-side, fully distributed search for the #IndieWeb, predictably called #IndieSearch — check out the short demo & explainer. Your site may even support it already (if you use the awesome #Pagefind static site search!)

I'd love to hear what you think!
