Empathy is not a soft extra. It is a warning system.
It tells us where a process is failing before the dashboard does, where people are being lost between forms, platforms, policies, and polite automated replies.

We already live inside software.
The Code Beneath the Floorboards is our new series on the digital systems shaping schools, work, public services, democracy, and daily life.
First post: Open Source Is Not Just for Nerds - because open technology is about autonomy, trust, repair, and power.

This week’s newsletter starts with our Civic Innovation Fellows showcase.
Ayela Janjua and Jillian Melough represent the kind of future we are building toward: people who show up, learn how systems work, and put that knowledge in service of their communities.
That work feels urgent as AI tools increasingly shape civic life.

This week in NYC’s #CivicTech: safer streets, public broadband, AI literacy, and civic accountability.
The Stop Super Speeders Act landed in the final state budget. NYC is expanding free Neighborhood Internet in the Bronx and Upper Manhattan. And 22 community organizations are preparing to teach intro-to-AI classes across the city.
Plus: public spending oversight, student data privacy, new civic tools, and 13 jobs.

Gut so, warum auch sollte jeder Erfindung dem Verwertungszwang unterliegen? Mit KI sind so viel sinnvollere Dinge möglich als Geld zu verdienen.

I agree with opposing #BigTech capture. But from an #EU perspective, rejecting any #EUTech effort often just hands all power to the #US and a few other countries.
How do you rationalize that tradeoff?
Is there a point where some sacrifice is needed so Europe can regain agency, while better #SmallTech / #PublicInterestTech solutions are still being built?

The shutdown ends, but the deeper problem remains: critical public services still run on fragile, aging systems that cannot pause for politics. Responsible modernization means resilient, transparent infrastructure built to protect people, not just budgets. How do we bring open, ethical, well-governed AI into government without repeating past mistakes? #PublicInterestTech #ResponsibleAI #FOSS

so glad to see this: the south african govt has set up a digital services team. they are talking about focusing on service design, not infrastructure (one of my main complaints about digital public infra is that people get lost in the 'what' of the work rather than the 'who' and 'why')
