  21. Storing Photos on Someone Else’s Computer

    Wojtek Powiertowski wrote a pair of interesting blog posts on backing up photos and checking photos for bitrot. Both posts are interesting and include valuable tips for protecting digital photo collections They reminded me of another potential photo issue. Back before I knew better, I stored my Nikon D40 photos in the cloud, which is better known as someone else's computer. Back in high school, I came across Picasa and used that. Picasa was killed by Google, so my photos were then on Google […]

  22. Convenience is often a trade-off for real ownership.
    When a service has the ability to reset your credentials, it also has power over your access.

    NeuroPassword eliminates this reliance – no master key, no backdoors, no recovery by third parties.

    Your credentials are solely yours. Try it. 👇

  23. Self-hosting is not about saving money. It's about ownership.

    Google can shut down a product tomorrow (and has, dozens of times). Your self-hosted instance only goes away when YOU decide.

    The money savings are real, but control is the actual value.

  24. Re; The Indie Web Is Not Defined by Its Enemies

    I read an excellent response blog post by Khürt Williams titled The Indie Web Is Not Defined by Its Enemies. In the post, Mr. Williams eloquently makes the case for defining the indie web by what it is for instead of what it is against. The indie web is stronger when it is defined by what it does: people owning their publishing, people controlling their data, people connecting through open standards and handcrafted links. That identity does not require a villain. It stands on its […]

  27. 🛑 TikTok: The Worst of the Big Socials?

    Yes, TikTok's Licence is Worse.

    TikTok's rules are the same as Meta's: You own the Copyright, but TikTok owns the Licence to use, copy, and change your content forever, with no pay.

    🤯 Data Access: TikTok's data collection is famous for being extremely broad. They track details like your:

    Device model
    Battery state
    Keystroke patterns (how you type/tap)

    AI Training: They use this massive data haul (your videos, your watch time, your clicks) to train their powerful, unrivalled AI algorithm. They are feeding the machine their best data.

    National Security: The ownership structure is under constant fire from governments, which adds a high-stakes, political risk to your data.

    TikTok is the most aggressive data collector out of Meta & LinkedIn.

    SURE: You get fame, but you give away more power than anywhere else.

    🤔 Is the chance of virality worth giving up control over your typing patterns?

  28. 💼 LinkedIn: Same Licence, Different Vibe

    Is LinkedIn different from Meta? Not legally.

    You own the Copyright (your idea). LinkedIn owns the Licence (permission to use it).

    ⚖️ The Short Version:
    LinkedIn can legally use your post for ads, promotion, or to improve its site without paying you.

    🚨 AI Training: LinkedIn is now using your profile, posts, and resumes to train its AI models. They opt you in by default.

    The Difference: On LinkedIn, you post career data for matching. This gives the licence a professional purpose. But the AI grab is the same as Meta's.

    If the Fediverse has tech issues, Big Social has big ownership issues that cost you your IP. Choose wisely.

    🤔 Does knowing you must opt-out of LinkedIn's AI change what you share for your career?

  29. 📸 Your Photos, Their Rules?
    On Big Social: Who REALLY Owns Your Posts?

    You post a great photo on Facebook or Instagram. Who owns it?

    ⚖️ The Simple Truth: You own the Copyright. (The idea is yours.)
    BUT
    Meta owns the Licence. (They have permission to use it.)

    🤯 What The Licence Means

    The licence you agree to gives Meta the right to use your content for anything they want, forever, without paying you.

    🤖 AI Training: Meta uses your photos and posts (even old ones!) to teach their AI models. You are feeding their big computer for free.

    🚫 No Stopping: Meta can share or change your photo. Even if you delete it, Meta might keep using it if they need it later.

    The Fediverse has small tech problems. Big Social has big ownership problems.

    Stop feeding the machine that takes your value.

    🤔 Real talk: Hearing about Meta using your content for AI—does that make the Fediverse look much safer?

  30. @eyeinthesky yep, you got it tho my focus is 100% on the User's IP Ownership Role.

    You rightly flag the technical limitations of ActivityPub, but those limitations do not equate to a transfer of intellectual property (IP).

    The User owns the IP: Every post, every original thought, every photo remains the user’s copyright. The user grants the instance owner a licence (permission) to host and display the content. They don't give away the deed.

    The Server has the custody: The server is the custodian—it holds the data. If the server goes down or bans you, the content is technically inaccessible to others, but the user still holds the original ownership rights to that IP.

    The problem is the tool's failure to respect IP, not the user's lack of ownership.

    FOR SURE: We need portability that treats our IP like the valuable asset it is.

  32. Mastodon Post:

    Piracy is on the rise, with 216 billion visits in 2024, driven by frustration over costs, content loss, and unreliable streaming. Consumers are demanding ownership and permanence.

    At Streevo, we're creating a device to give people control over their digital libraries—no subscriptions, no erasures, just true ownership.

  33. I've been thinking about creators and distributors. picture a woodworker who crafts a perfectly balanced, minimalist chair. a furniture store loves it and starts selling it. but, to "match their brand", the store paints every chair bright green

    customers see a green chair. they don't know the store painted it. they just assume the original artisan loves making bright green chairs. the creator's original intent and aesthetic are completely lost in translation, and their reputation is now tied to a choice made by someone else

    this happens so often in FOSS. upstream developers create the "wooden chair", and downstream distros often paint it "green". there's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it creates a gap where users blame the artisan for the paint job. it makes you think about where creative ownership truly lies

  34. Call your customers criminals, and that's exactly what they'll become.

    Was the streaming industry's price hikes, content cuts, and crack down on password sharing worth it? 🤔

  35. Streaming platforms betrayed us. They deleted shows we loved. Criminalized sharing. And now, they're calling it “content strategy.”

    Piracy may feel like rebellion—but it's not preservation. It's not ownership.

    We believe art deserves better.

  36. EU lawmakers are actually listening to the 'Stop Killing Games' movement after 1.45 million signatures! 🎮 No more 'poof, your game is gone' just because a dev feels like it. It's about time we challenged the idea of digital content evaporating. What's next, your carefully crafted code disappearing from GitHub? 😅

  37. I just came across Louis Rossmann new video that highlights a significant issue for Android users.
    Google's latest move is a game-changer—or should we say, a game-breaker? Your $1000 phone now needs Google's permission to install apps. This isn't about security; it's about control. Like the DMCA issue—this is just another example of corporations dictating what we can do with our own devices. It's time to stand up for our right to tinker and true digital ownership.

  38. 📈 Piracy is rising fast—and it's not just nostalgia.

    🔹 15+ billion piracy site visits in 2023
    🔹 Software piracy remains ~37%
    🔹 Music piracy jumped 13% in a year
    🔹 Streaming piracy up 36% since 2020

    Why the increase?

    Subscription fatigue

    Rising costs across SaaS and entertainment

    Fragmented content (too many platforms)

    DRM is punishing legit users

    Loss of ownership in digital goods

    People aren’t just stealing—they’re pushing back.

    When paid options are worse than pirated ones, the system is broken. Time to rethink value, access, and trust.
