    - @lightweight Would be great to focus on this topic in the next monthy meetup... maybe even organise something?
    - @digitalprivacy Just checking if you're also interested in setting up an install event down in your area?

    NZ-wide Linux install event maybe first weekend of October?

  7. It was great to go back on RNZ Saturday Morning to chat with Susie Ferguson about what it might look like to start decoupling from US tech as Trump’s tariffs wake us up to the problems that comes with being so dependent on it.

  8. 🚨🇳🇿 Join me in Auckland on April 10 where I’ll be talking about countering the Trump threat and escaping the dominance Silicon Valley has over our lives.

    Now more than ever, we need digital sovereignty — and we’ll need to work together to build it.

  9. "If they [online platforms] can do [recognising and flagging of] trademarks so quickly, why can't they do bad footage? But I guess the quick answer ... is how does AI distinguish between a lot of the gaming footage that's put up, and real footage?"

  10. I really dislike interacting with the walled garden of #LinkedIn, but it seems to have become an unfortunate requirement for finding work these days.

    Online spaces for interaction should be based on building community and friendship; not a power grab by gigantic corporations like #microsoft profiting from sucking the joy out of updating your friends on how life’s going.

    So if my LinkedIn post about joining the team at #Multitudes was a requirement….

  12. "... that's the beauty of seagliders when you talk about electric aviation. People are a bit wary of flying 10-20,000 feet in the air with electric batteries. Whereas in our case we're only 10m above the water, and we're always above a runway. So in the absolute worst case, you can just glide back onto the water, send out a signal for a pickup."

    #Matrix is a federation protocol, like the ActivityPub standard that connects the fediverse. Existing matrix apps can be used for E2EE chats, but for now they're used mainly for federated chat rooms, both public and private.

    There's an Aotearoa/ NZ Community/Space (like a Discord "server") hosted by some of the same folks from the mastodon.nz team. It includes a bunch of open invite rooms, including NZ Technology Discussion:
