BetaBuilders is BetaNYC’s new monthly giving community for people who want to help sustain that work.
Monthly gifts start at $5 and help support programs reaching thousands of New Yorkers.

We do not usually notice who owns the tools until the day we try to leave them.
Our new article in The Code Beneath the Floorboards is live.
It explores digital dependence, vendor lock-in, data control, open technology, and why every system we rely on should come with an exit door.

A question I get from students that I don't have a great answer to anymore:
Is there a place where people are discussing building sustainable/public interest/civic projects? As in talking about the challenges they face/sharing tips/recommendations, freely promoting their work to others to get extra eyes on WIP?
About one ask away from starting a discourse for this, but curious if anyone out there has a better answer.

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.

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')

🔹 What could public interest social media look like? 🔹
We explored this question at a workshop hosted by the @Digital Public Goods Alliance at the @Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Oslo.
Mainstream platforms' algorithms amplify polarization to maximize attention and screen time. In, platforms like ours are built around topics – not personalities.
Big thanks to everyone for the rich exchange @bolajiayodeji @robin (more tags in the comments)!!
