Oh this is much better than the heat, you guys.

We are an ethical alternative to Instagram.

The project is still young, but we are getting close to a polished v1.0 release with federation support!

We can't wait to join the fediverse. ❤️ #pixelfed

The Tag feature is ready.

It will be shipping tomorrow! 🥳

So suddenly there’s a lot of attention around email and it’s exposing how many people in the web community still use Gmail. Like actually trust all your personal information and communication (and that of your potentially marginalised or vulnerable contacts) with Google. 🤮

There are a lot of hard problems and lack of alternatives when it comes to rights-respecting technology. But email (as imperfect as it is) has a fair few affordable alternative providers. Small change, big difference.

Here’s the video of my talk “Beyond surveillance capitalism: alternatives, stopgaps, Small Web, and Site.js.” from Creative Mornings Istanbul on Friday.

Edited to fix the audio sync issue, add captions, chapters, and links to all the mentioned tools, etc.

Enjoy + please share! :)

Why do the cookie popups start with "We value your privacy", clearly they don't because they would've just not included the crap.

Someone said "is that still a thing?" when I announced I was on Mastodon. Is it?
Boost this so we actually get a few votes maybe? How far can it go?

It’s raining today. Normally this would make for a bit of an unpleasant day outside, but compared to the sweltering heat of yesterday this is awesome.

Ah, new shoe day :) Some lovely wedges, very comfy. A bit taller than I’d like but I can only pick from whats available.

@jameshjacksonjr Big, if true.
