  7. @gael @e_mydata @murena I'm a big fan. I use eOS every day many hours on my Fairphone. I gladly contribute via Patreon. I recommend eOS everywhere and to everyone.

    But you can't use PayPal for payments and X slapped on to the Patreon page. Makes me sick to my stomach. Please switch those options. They are US big tech and stand for everything I try to avoid by using eOS. It feels like being punched in the gut that you're using that.

  17. When Blaise Metreweli, the newly appointed Chief of MI6, addressed the nation in her inaugural speech, she did not simply outline the threats of espionage or cyberwarfare. Instead, she mapped a new, unsettling terrain—one where the gravitational center of global power is shifting away from nation-states and toward the sprawling dominions of technology corporations and the individuals who helm them.

  22. Detesting the Myth of “Biology is Destiny”

    Although society has often expected stereotypical paths to result from every interaction, numerous communities across the United States, Canada, and possibly other countries and regions are developing violations of these societal stereotypes, expectations, and scripted rules in every possible way. Within the United States, all six of the New England states and certain portions of New England are no longer discriminating based on numerous characteristics that may or may not be identified as […]

  31. "Recently, the notion of artificial intelligence for development (AI4D) has been mobilized by various actors in the global South and North. We identify five analytical categories to help us understand the different and often contested perspectives on AI4D. They are (a) a developmentalist framework that emphasizes discourses around modernity and progress through a technoliberal lens of ‘catching up’; (b) an economic development framework taken up by African states, private sector and civil society, highlighting a positive and more future-looking outlook on AI's potential for development; (c) an international policy framework tied to globally agreed on policies such as the Sustainable Development Goals; (d) a colonial and extractivist framework that articulates how AI4D reinforces old processes of oppression in new ways; and (e) decolonial AI discourses grounded in Latin American, African and Indigenous approaches. Our critical review of literature on AI4D and related expressions shows that while the notion applies broadly to the global South, the majority of publications use the term in reference to AI development on the African continent. This commentary enriches our understanding of the plurality of meanings, where they come from, what they do, and what they leave unaddressed."
