I Attended Google’s Creator Conversation Event, And It Turned Into A Funeral

the funeral appears to be Google's

If you are an editor of a magazine whose readers include people who are worried about keeping themselves and their loved ones safe in the upcoming Trump administration, I know a lot about this, I am here to give tech advice, and I care about reaching people who don't read EFF blog posts.

Big News

Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) has just launched its own dedicated Mastodon server, social.freedom.press: https://freedom.press/about/announcements/our-new-home-on-the-fediverse/

Now all FPF-related activity on Mastodon is now accessible from a single Fediverse server: @securedrop @dangerzone @foiafeed

Hopefully this move will be an example to other organizations. "The Fediverse is nonalgorithmic and community-driven, without the potential algorithmic distortions or content suppression imposed by centralized platforms."

Without notice or explanation, Apple reportedly pulls Russians' access to podcasts by independent journalists at The Insider, Echo of Moscow, and BBC Russian. Not a good look, fruit company. https://zona.media/news/2024/11/14/nopodcast

Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter stops publishing on X.
“Since Elon Musk took over, the platform has increasingly merged with his own and Donald Trump's political ambitions, while the climate on X has become more harsh and extreme. Therefore, we will not publish anything there from our official accounts, says editor-in-chief Peter Wolodarski.

"Mojeek is quite a breath of fresh air in the search engine arena. The thing I like the most is that you can set different search engines to query as well. Once you hit the search button, at the bottom of the results, you will see other search engines that you enabled in the settings. Clicking on it will bring you there, searching for the term you searched on Mojeek. Pretty neat, I would say."

“Land for peace” sounds nice, but the president of Russia isn’t fighting for land. Putin is fighting to destroy Ukraine as a nation. When the next U.S. president takes office he will therefore face the same choices : help Putin win, or help him lose.
