"it's all stored locally" is not a panacea for these alarming privacy-invading products!

what exactly is stored locally? what data is extracted from that local data and sent to the company's servers? is that local data being backed somewhere?

I had such a great chat with @mike on his Dot Social podcast, where we talked about the future of the web and why I'm a web optimist, why everyone should be a blogger, digital ownership, and decentralized social media.

The full episode is available here https://about.flipboard.com/inside-flipboard/molly-white/ and on PeerTube/YouTube/the usual podcast feeds!

I am a human and I am completely stumped by this captcha.
Does that prove that I'm human?
Maybe saying I'm human is exactly the thing a machine would state.
Maybe having that self-reflection proves I'm human.
Maybe AI has seen this kind of rambling enough to generate a post about being human and frustrated by a captcha.

very cool to see a quote from my recent writing on AI (https://citationneeded.news/ai-isnt-useless/) in a piece by Julia Angwin in the New York Times this morning!

I really didn't want to start another subscription, but I had to give some support to Molly White @molly0xfff I was behind on her critical Citation Needed, and the post/audio from May 1 is exactly the call I needed to hear. We CAN have the web we want. We really can. https://www.citationneeded.news/we-can-have-a-different-web/

"In 2024, for the first time, it finally feels like we have a critical mass of people and platforms who are interested in rewilding the internet to bring back what we lost, and create something new. ... There's a palpable feeling that this just might be the year of the open web."

is this feeling... hope? https://activitypub.ghost.org/day-0/

What's a phrase that shows you were both once cool in the past, and old in the present?

Here's mine: I had a beeper in high school.

the team behind Critical Role just launched its own subscription membership service called "Beacon"

pretty cool to see a creative team trying out a new model to give them so much control over their own content/platform
