Signal strongly opposes the newest #ChatControl proposal in Europe.

Let there be no doubt: we will leave the EU market rather than undermine our privacy guarantees.

This proposal--if passed and enforced against us--would require us to make this choice.

It's surveillance wine in safety bottles.

Dear Fedi, Once upon a time I read engadget. They were never super great, but they got worse, and recently turned to pure garbage.
Where does the enlightened Fedizen get their up-to-date consumer-tech news?
Halp?

Although I couldn’t formulate it at the time, studying the Stuarts at school made me realise that the way I was expected to present myself as a male was not ‘natural’ but historical and social. It later made Boy George seem much more normal than everyone was suggesting. #gender

My keynote from @newcrafts is up. ( https://vimeo.com/949430725 )

In it I argue that we have a MASSIVE problem in our software and sociotechnical systems - one caused by societal power structures. Specifically the dominant patriarchal, post-colonial, late-stage-capitalist ones.

This isn't some abstract problem. It’s in my code, your code, everyone's code all the time.

Check out the talk to hear why this is happening, and more importantly, what we can collectively do about it.

it would be really great if what ends up killing this AI hype cycle is that it’s unable to discern what is real and what is a shitpost

Of course, one of the the things we all need to be considering is how to vote tactically... so here for your consideration is one guide to how to vote tactically in your constituency.

Just type in you postcode for advice (based on polling) on how you might vote tactically to get the Tories out (or if you have other priorities, how to maximise the impact of your vote under the current FPTP system)

Fire up the shredders for the #DPDIBill ☠️

It’s so long, see you never 🤞 for this flawed legislation that would’ve removed controls over our data and handed power to UK government bodies and companies.

ORG and civil society organisations fought the Bill to ensure it wasn’t just nodded into law 🔥

I'm sorry Slack, you're doing fucking WHAT with user DMs, messages, files, etc? I'm positive I'm not reading this correctly.

In a world where corporations, politicians, influencers, social media, games, grifters, and everything else is fighting a battle to the death to hijack your attention for their purposes…

Sitting still and letting go of everything is punk as fuck.

New blog: "A Useful Productivity Measure?"

"In my new role as VP of Engineering, there was one question I was dreading more than any other: 'How are you measuring productivity?'

I can’t fault the question. I mean, sure, I’d rather it be phrased about how I’m improving productivity, rather than how I’m measuring it, but fair enough. There are real problems in the org, I do need to fix them, and I need to demonstrate that I’m doing so."
