What is it like to use PeerTube as a video creator? Spoiler alert: it's amazing!Elena Rossini
One of many notable takeaways from 'Careless People':
The creators and top execs of Meta do not allow their own children on it.
Think about that.

California lawmakers take on ‘surveillance pricing’ as FTC retreats
A series of bills in California go after AI tools that let companies use personal data to set individualized prices.
Canada has announced EV rebate payments to Tesla have been frozen as the company faces an investigation after four dealerships claimed to sell over 8,600 cars in a mere three days, racking up $43 million in rebates.
Tesla vehicles will also be excluded from any future federal EV rebate programs.
🚨 Let’s Encrypt at risk from Trump cuts to OTF: “Let’s Encrypt received around $800,000 in funding from the OTF”
Dear @EUCommission, get your heads out of your arses and let’s find @letsencrypt €1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.
If Let’s Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we don’t let that happen, yeah?
(In the meanwhile, if the Let’s Encrypt folks want to make a point about how essential they are, it might be an idea to refuse certificates to republican politicians. See how they like their donation systems breaking in real time…)

Hey all, I've had an account here for almost 2 months and I've spent waaay too long procrastinating on my #Introduction post. I feel that I should make one before getting down to normal posting! 😆 Anyway..
I'm Peter (or PJ) from the UK. I'm in to gaming (#PC, #Nintendo, #Playstation, #Retro, you name it!), #Baking (sourdough, yay!), #Formula1 (Go McLaren & Ferrari!). I'm also interested in #HeavyMetal, #Tech, #Photography & #Chickens
I look forward to finally posting with you all! 👋
Hi there 👋
I'm new around these parts.
I'm a mid 20s woman from Denmark 🇩🇰
Mostly lurking but will be posting my random thoughts, #tech, #fashion, whenever I do any #travel, and whenever I do something around the web.
I'm also the (currently only blind) software engineer @bemyeyes
Looking forward to chat with you all around these parts
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.
ar.al/2025/03/21/careless-peop…
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.)

Elon Musk’s DOGE is tearing through the US government with disastrous consequences.
But beyond its borders, the extreme right is gearing up to push their own DOGE-inspired austerity campaigns in countries around the world.

Time to ditch US tech for homegrown options, says Dutch parliament
"With each IT service our government moves to American tech giants, we become dumber and weaker," Dutch MP Barbara Kathmann, author of four of the motions, told The Register. "If we continue outsourcing all of our digital infrastructure to billionaires that would rather escape Earth by building space rockets, there will be no Dutch expertise left."
I hope they do this.

Tesla is in big trouble. Sales are plummeting and consumers are boycotting the brand as Elon Musk champions far-right politics.
But the CEO’s reputation isn’t the only problem. He’s also made a series of bad business decisions that are coming back to haunt the automaker.

"Google refuses to deny it received encryption order from UK government"
The UK’s encryption-breaking order for a backdoor into iCloud isn’t a one-off.
The secret hearing happening RIGHT NOW is bigger than just Apple. If the government wins, our right to privacy and security falls.
Other services will be hit.
