    An insightful series of posts offering equal amounts of encouragement & directional arrows for getting started. #humanetech

  2. Privacy isn't just about not being spied on.

    Your mind is a private sovereign space. Having it invaded and manipulated by things you didn't ask for is an invasion of that privacy, and arguably much more serious than what people typically consider privacy-invasion.

    Being able to completely control what goes into your mind through your eyes and ears should be the basic standard for any software you choose to use or any media you view.

  3. Indieweb Social states its "a home for those who build, study, promote - or are just fascinated by - #openweb, #indieweb, #federated & #humanetech practices & tech"

    I'll add to that. It's also a place for 80s style nerds like @tchambers

  7. So, a Linux distro community recommended that I go to Reddit to get support for that Linux distro. I just want to go to a Reddit-like platform again because it hurts me and I have trauma. It is not person-centred. This means the users are anonymous, and they take advantage of what they find—other users being trolls—to justify their trolling behaviour.

  8. #TIL about the #IntegrityInstitute;

    "We’re a community-powered think tank transforming how social platforms impact society through public interest research, cross-sector collaboration, and community engagement."

    integrityinstitute.org/about-us

    Seems to be a cross between @iftas and the Center for Humane Technology. In that their focus is improving trust & safety on the "social Internet", and like #HumaneTech, many of them are former (or current) platform workers.

  9. Very disappointed to see the Center for Humane Technology taking the "rogue AI" nonsense seriously;

    Reality check; existing #MOLE Training tech is not dangerous because it's intelligent. It's harmful because it isn't, and never will be, but is being sold as-a-service on the promise that it is. It's harmful primarily because its deployment helps to further concentrate techno-political power.

  13. As we move deeper into the 2nd quarter of the 21st century, it does not remotely look like the tech utopia we were once promised.

    The blueprint for humane and sustainable societies is still theoretical, still waiting for aspirational words to translate into actions, inventions, realizations...

    The US and China have claimed their respective niches, the question is what the rest of the world (and in particular Europe) will do (if anything).

  14. @EUCommission @nlnet @NGIZero @PrototypeFund @sovtechfund

    #HumaneTech community posted a more elaborate infocard on the need for #FOSS projects to 🪙 pay more attention to their #FSDL in ways that'll easily get their #ROI in terms of 💎 #commons value.

    Just spending a little extra #FSDL time 🪙🪙 investment may often yield a great Return on Involvement. In other words they are no-brainers, really low-hanging fruits in common terminology.

  15. AI is a vital tool for disabled individuals like me, not a threat to authenticity. It eases the burden of masking, letting my true ideas shine. It defends my dignity in a system that values only 'human capital'—my digital paintbrush, still wielded by me.

  16. This report challenges digital algorithms that label BPD as a 'villain' narrative. We demand compassion, viewing erratic behaviour not as calculated abuse, but as a desperate fight against internal pain and fear of abandonment.
