I am forever grateful to him for building & popularizing Mastodon, but I don't think @Gargron should be working on features at all right now.

Instead, he and the Mastodon non-profit (and a whole bunch of others) should be figuring out governance for collectively making decisions about Mastodon. Features in the Fediverse shouldn't be up to one guy, or even one company.

That's the whole point of the Fediverse. We do this together, or not at all.

If you're excited that things are entering the #PublicDomain — which you should be! — perhaps it's worth considering reforming copyright.

In many places currently it's 70 years after the death of the author, or longer. This is insanity.

An important piece of culture made by a young author could be locked behind copyright (with rights usually held by publishers, not authors themselves anyway) for over a *century*.

That's how you get #Disney to own almost everything.

Reform #copyright!

#Sweden seems to be pushing back on the digital #sovereignty ideology and I am living for it! Europe’s digital sovereignty - at least the way the Commission applies it - will only lead to a #fragmented Internet! The #fairshare debate is a case in point! euractiv.com/section/digital/n

Stockholm COVID-19 wastewater numbers are worst they have been since the omicron outbreak. No one seems to care.

At my dentist in Stockholm and I swear this whole waiting room is coughing. I’m masked, but no one else is.

“Putin stole childhood from our children.” —Volodymyr Zelenskyy to David Letterman

Powerful interview with humanity and comedy, even in war. (The NATO joke… zomg)

@tom One example: I have fine powered speakers (not "smart") built into the bathroom ceiling. I can connect any source to them and would prefer to not to run speaker wire across my home to connect to a new central system.

I use report-uri.com/ for Content Security Policy (CSP) reports on my personal website.

Erroneous reports caused by browser extensions flood any usefulness of having reporting.

Examples:
• style-src-elem inline violation on URL that contains no inline CSS
• frame-ancestors violation on a URL that contains no iframes and cite source-file of "safari-web-extension://…"

Is there anything being done by browsers to fix this? Should I just give up on reporting?

@tom $700 a pop for connecting regular speakers is 🤑. I'm looking more for a $99 dongle.

"The key word is joy. It can be fun. Just full stop. Just because it makes you smile. Count your smiles. How much fun are you having? How many mornings do you wake up with a grin on your face?" -- @Nova

This is so awesome.

If you invested in Web 3 one year ago, today it’s worth Web 0.87.

The state of multi-room audio is 💩.

Sonos & Heos are expensive and don’t offer every type of speaker connectivity situation common in existing homes.

AirPlay 2 is good option, but vendor locks to Apple ecosystem. Source device cannot get too far away from target device, just like Bluetooth. Spotify does not support AirPlay 2 multi-room.

There is a huge opportunity for relegated home audio players and a powerful outsider like Spotify to define an open industry standard and rally.

People Hate the Idea of Car-Free Cities—Until They Live in One

Removing cars from urban areas means lower carbon emissions, less air pollution, and fewer road traffic accidents. So why are residents so resistant?

@Raspberry_Pi Very not cool. Tech should liberate people, not surveil them.

When people travel to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small.

Few people think that they can radically change the future by doing something small in the present.

This is the only real time travel paradox.

End of year annual donations renewed for organizations fighting for tech that liberates instead of oppresses us.

Electronic Frontier Foundation / eff.org/

European Digital Rights / @edri

Fight for the Future / @team

Free Software Foundation Europe / @fsfe

Internet Security Research Group / Let’s Encrypt letsencrypt.org/

Mozilla / mozilla.org/

NOYB / @noybeu

I hope all of these organizations join the fediverse by the end of 2023.

A year from now, I hope…

• for the pandemic to be over—for real, not the “collectively pretend it’s over” mode society currently is in

• to operate a “ramen profitable” business of my own

• to have gained at least 5 kg muscle

• to have had my mental healthcare needs met

• to have finished my home remodel
