I am confused by people posting openly on the Web and thinking they are not performing an act in public.

Search is useful and necessary. Hashtags are not enough.

Each post on Mastodon is a mini blog post on the Web that should be indexed using the same rules and tools as everything else on the Web.

Mutuals-only would be a useful feature to add, private accounts already exist, and noindex meta data already exists to ask search engines to exclude you.

I just froze my credit report on all 3 US credit reporting agencies and—dear gourds—that was a difficult 2 hours of my life as a US American-Swede living abroad.

They do not like access from outside the US and they also do not like VPNs. It is a continuation of the US policy that the only Americans who want to live abroad are terrorists or tax evaders.

An estimated 10 million US Americans live abroad. That is more than the population of 40 US states.

Computers used to scream out in pain when we connected them to the Internet.

This was a clue and we just didn't listen.

Copyright is cultural crime.

De La Soul’s music is only now coming to streaming services in March 2023 because of sample clearance issues and label disputes that had reduced the artists’ royalties to 10%.

🚨BREAKING: Following noyb litigation, @meta (Facebook and Instagram) has been prohibited from using personal data for advertisement.
The #GDPR decision signals a major blow to Meta's business model in Europe, as Meta faces a € 390 Mio fine.

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.

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.

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?

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. ✊

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!
