I am enjoying the hell out of "Picks and Shovels" by @pluralistic and I bet you will, too (full disclosure: I have been grokking computers since the early 1980s, which makes so much of the book's geeky name-dropping resonate with me; and my absolute lack of any knowledge of accounting does not detract from the enjoyment).
I’m gonna say it louder for the folks in the back: Mozilla is not what you think it is. Mozilla is not what they say they are. Mozilla is just another for-profit Silicon Valley tech company that has a not-for-profit doing its PR.

Wow so the #Mozilla engineer disagrees and claims "#GDPR has done a great deal of harm" (I didn't understand his argument why) but now diverted to saying the #browser should be the platform collect all the personal data and then provide it in aggrega…EUpolicy.social - A Mastodon server for the EU bubble
Stop legitimising Mozilla.
They’re sucking all the oxygen out of the room.
“We’re just another Silicon Valley tech company.” – their then head of public policy to me

(Or in this case the second, third, fourth… what are we on? I’ve lost count.)

At a #Mozilla event in #Brussels this morning about "#privacy-first online #advertising". I am _very_ curious where this weirdest of things Mozilla does is going. 🤔 Speakers: Petra Wikström, policy person at #Schibsted, @rvaneijk@mastodon.EUpolicy.social - A Mastodon server for the EU bubble
Later this month, #TechWontSaveUs turns five years old. It’s hard to believe I’ve been making the show for this long!
Over that time I’ve interviewed hundreds of guests to spread critical perspectives on tech far and wide — and I know it’s had an impact.

My “not a book review” of Careless People – the book Facebook doesn’t want you to read.
With highlights on Ireland’s complicity and the lengths people farmers (as I call them) will go to to appease authoritarian regimes like China.

It’s clear from this that Ireland should be stripped of the authority to enforce GDPR and, really, people farmers – and the business model of people farming in general – should be banned in the EU.
(Don’t hold your breaths.)

... und wer sich noch nicht mit dem international mächtigsten Faschisten und #Demokratiefeind beschäftigt hat, der sollte diese aktuelle #ElonMuskBiographie ansehen:
Elon Musk ist der reichste Mensch der Welt - und polarisiert wie kaum jemand sonst. Viele fürchten ihn als mächtigen Narzissten mit Hass auf alles, was woke, queer oder allzu demokratisch ist."

Dieser Beitrag erklärt hervorragend, wie die neuen Machthaber im Weißen Haus ticken und wie ihr Denken die Welt beeinflusst
Guter Einstieg für die, die letzten 10 Jahre sich wenig für Politik interessiert haben, super "recap" für alle.
