So this year I proactively decided to step outside my comfort zone and write up a few call tor proposals to mainstream developer conferences because I want to start talking to everyday devs about the Small Web. It’s been… an interesting experiment so far given I spent the decade and a half or so before Covid almost exclusively doing paid invited keynotes about the problem it seems odd folks are more likely to pay to hear about the problem than to learn about a potential solution for free.

@aral Aral, I know what you’re saying is important but beyond the issue of the likes of Google harvesting my data (which I try to stop but unsuccessfully- had to reactivate an old gmail account to use an app for recording river pollution) I don’t really understand. Maybe some kind of “Avoid your data being harvested - for dummies”?

@aral Hi Aral, I’ve finally watched this. But what is to be done? I have succeeded in getting only 2 other people to use Signal not WhatsApp. I haven’t persuaded anyone I know to use DuckDuckGo instead of Google and I’m ridiculed for paying more to use Apple rather than Android!
