Today Google is turning on activity tracking for many users that previously turned it off. - tutanota.com/blog/posts/google

Effective today, Google is changing its Workspace Settings, including a change that activates activity tracking for all users of Google Workspace accounts even if the organizations admin disabled activity tracking for all users previously. What is more, admins can no longer control this setting for their users, but all users need to invidually toggle the tracking off again.

@devinprater why!? It's like Undercover Boss, you should feel grateful the gods of management come down to acknowledge your existence and how you make money for them.

@weirdwriter@writeout.ink good article. Trying to use other words would increase my vocabulary as well. It's like when people use fuck to describe everything. You have to use context to understand what they mean. When I want to use a discriminatory phase or word I have to think what I really mean and say it better.

@TechNews Magpies are my favourite bird and we have a lot in Perth. I didn't know heatwaves were very bad for them. And I also haven't seen magpies roll on the ground and play with each other. So cool.

You don’t want a DAO you just want a co-op. Just make a co-op or stop pretending you’re doing anything but building a pyramid scheme

@aral YouTube on any android web browser does the same.

@blindscribe reading your latest post, this seems to be more than an annoyance. I hope everything sorts itself out and you can get back to doing what you love.

@blindscribe I think SMS has less potential for man in the middle attacks then something like email. SMS does suffer from number porting. But the sites probably want as much personal information as they can get.

My first computer was a Commodore C16 in 1986, followed by a C128D in 1987, on which I ran the included CP/M 3.0 and wrote my first Turbo pascal programs on it.
1991, I got my first MS-DOS-based PC with a real screen reader, HAL v4.5 by @yourdolphin.

Universal Audio said they'd invest in Linux support for their devices if tens of thousands of people signed a petition. So, here's that petition:

@aral I signed but I am working on a Web 3.0 app. I see data being distributed as part of the semantic web. People can hook into the network and share using a device and not a server.

@3rik can still contribute and build upon it. They just cannot be part of a corporation. Its similar to MIT and GPL. What is more free, writing code so some billionaire can make more money and you get health insurance, or working together to make your collective peers' live more fruitful? Both make open source code.

71% of Australians polled by the Sydney Morning Herald on 18th December support calls for @wikileaks founder and publisher Julian Assange to be 'brought back to Australia' @smh #FreeAssangeNOW t.co/f5Ohenu0dC

@sam Librem.one has an interesting approach where the same account can be used for mastodon, email, matrix. You'll need all services hosted in the same place. I don't know what they do in the backend, but is this something you were thinking of?
