I have been watching the Interledger Summit 2022 session recordings incrementally over the last few weeks.

Unexpected delightful surprise was @todd presenting how @purism (the privacy-centric open source laptop and smart phone) stubbed out an entire two-sided app store marketplace based on Interledger and its related in-progress projects.

2023 is going to be breakout year for open payments.

@lachezar As a former Fitbit employee who later moved to Stockholm, I was amused SEB supported Fitbit Pay 4 years before it supported Apple Pay.

In 2020, I read “The Daily Stoic” by Ryan Holiday. I started and ended each day with a stoic meditation. I found it helpful. I’ve decided to reread it in 2023.

@okpierre Blame Mastodon not supporting quote tweets. 🤷‍♂️

Another fantastic #DataVisualization #SocialScience work by John Burn-Murdoch at FT:

"Millennials are shattering the oldest rule in politics: Western conservatives are at risk from generations of voters who are no longer moving to the right as they age"

There's a housing crisis in many cities. But cars can park free. Why not claim public street-space for those who need it? If you disguise your shelter as a polluting, duly-licensed private vehicle, like artist Michael Rakowitz did...
...the authorities should be fine with it.

If a website owner has no presence in the US, does someone from Louisiana have the ability to sue a company for not complying with its ridiculous law?

@kkomaitis With any other Supreme Court in the last 30 years, I would look forward to this being aggressively overturned as a violation of the First Amendment. But Trump's court is only selectively originalist.

If Meta allows Trump back on its platform, it will be time to do to Instagram what we did to Twitter: move it to the fediverse. ✊

@ScottHelme @troyhunt @jaffathecake Ah, I do not. Thanks for the tip.

But I do hope browsers do a better job *not* reporting user environment violations of CSP in the future.

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.

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