It also aligns with my ongoing discomfort about the relentless focus on profit-driven thinking. This mindset ultimately led me to found @okbr, the Brazilian chapter of the nonprofit organization @okfn, which started 13 years ago.
That decision was shaped by my earlier experiences working for a company that exploited its employees with unpaid overtime, including countless holidays and weekends.

A critical look at Bluesky: Despite claims of decentralization, the core infrastructure remains tightly controlled by Bluesky Social, PBC, a VC-funded, for-profit company. With a proprietary protocol (ATProto) developed solely in-house, the incentives lean toward control rather than true federation.

Det är inte bara inom ekonomin, geopolitiken och miljön som vi i #Europa nu har anledning att se om vårt eget hus. Nu behöver vi även tänka om vad gäller de amerikanska techbolagens dominans. Vi i Europa behöver steppa upp rejält inom #IT och #AI och försöka ta oss ur beroendet av både #USA och #Kina.
Föreställer mig att det är decentraliserade lösningar som kan bli svaret på denna utmaning.
