We need alternatives that work:
1. #Technologists: #Smartphones need #customizable #alternatives like PCs with #Linux or #BSDs. NOW is the time to double down on it.
2. #Governments: If you really care about your #sovereignty, we need #regulations and strict #laws against this abuse, and the #corporate stranglehold of the #component_market.
3. #Consumers: Vote with your wallet! Prioritize your #freedom over short-term #savings. This is a time-tested strategy.

To all #technologists / #techies: This won't be limited to #Android. They WILL insist on the same standard of #security on all #devices. Are you ready to settle for just #Windows, #MacOS and #Chromebook?
These #corporations have splendidly demonstrated that they're primarily #authoritarians and #fascists who wield #technology as their main weapon. Who does that leave as their opponents? You have to inform the rest of the #population. Your #voice matters! Make it count!

The #Trump administration is launching the #UnitedStates #TechForce to recruit 1,000 #technologists for #twoyearstints in #governmentagencies. The programme, which aims to modernise #government and win the global #AIrace, will involve private sector companies allowing employees to take temporary government roles. https://www.nextgov.com/people/2025/12/trump-admin-launches-us-tech-force-recruit-temporary-workers-after-shedding-thousands-year/410159/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

A letter to the American People:
https://18f.org/"18F was doing exactly the type of work that #DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated.
When former #Tesla engineer Thomas Shedd took the position of #TTS director... he acknowledged that the group is the “gold standard” of civic #technologists... He repeatedly emphasized the importance of the work, and the value of the talent that the teams bring to #government"

Skilled technologists are being forced out of government
18F and USDS are gutted by DOGE
https://donmoynihan.substack.com/p/skilled-technologists-are-being-forced"Musk is not just destroying core #government functions, he is also destroying the actual #tech capacity of govt. Because there are, in fact, skilled #technologists who work in govt. They are not enough of them, & they lacked power to make big changes. They worked mostly in the US Digital Service and 18F... And now they are mostly gone."

"The defining political question of the 20th century was: “What should be governed by the state, and what should be governed by the market?”
The defining political question of the first half of the 21st century is: “How much of our lives should be governed by technology, and under what terms?”
In the last century, economists drove public policy. In this century, it will be #technologists."

This is AMAZING #technology - especially if it helps folks comunicate: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/tongue-controlled-touchscreens-hit-market-year-rcna133270?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
Personally, it also reinforces the belief that #technologists sit around reading @GreatDismal and trying to make what he comes up with a reality. This feels like tech straight out of #ThePeripheral!

«Most of us think of a #Luddite as someone who is anti-technology or fearful of it, but as LA Times tech columnist Brian Merchant points out in his new book Blood in the Machine: The Origins of the #Rebellion Against #BigTech, they were #technologists themselves who simply questioned the ways it was being used against them.»

@terrygrundy @breadandcircuses
Great to see science news recognizing the manipulation of a global #ClimateChange political conference as being "science news".
Easy to forget that most of the globe's scientists want climate change stopped.
How might a #GeneralStrike of #Scientists and #Technologists steer government action on climate change?
I see scientists numbered at ~9 million globally.
A far higher number of technologists?
Technologists are essential to climate change continuing. -

The #UnitedNations stands at the forefront of promoting a more sustainable and inclusive future.
In line with this commitment, we co-created a playbook for #technologists at the UN and beyond that will help identify strategies to be more inclusive, aware of bias, and to mitigate negative unintended consequences.

It reflects a sense of urgency among #antitrust enforcers that, w/o action, #SiliconValley giants will transplant their established #MarketDominance into the #NextGeneration of #technology, potentially stifling #innovation in futuristic fields such as #AI.
#Technologists say the arrival of advanced #generative AI signals an inflection point: a chance for new players rise to the top, or for the established victors to extend their lead.

Can We Stop Runaway #AI? https://archive.is/AHYCQ
#Technologists warn about the #dangers of the so-called #singularity. But can anything actually be done to prevent it? ...there’s a good chance that current A.I. technology will develop into artificial general intelligence, or #AGI —a higher form of A.I. capable of thinking at a human level in many or most regards. A smaller group argues that A.G.I.’s power could escalate exponentially. #AI #AGI and #superintelligence -

CW: Long thread/7
Or maybe that's too harsh. After all, #TechPolicy is a game that everyone can play - and more importantly, it's a game everyone *should* play. The contours of #TechRegulation and implementation touch rub up against nearly every aspect of our lives, and part of the reason it's such a mess is that the field has been gatekept to shit, turned into a three-way fight between #technologists, #PolicyWonks and #economists.

tnx, @Kurt for drawing attention to Reid Blackman’s guest essay on ‘#privacy at all costs” in #NYT.
What to make of this?
"Small groups of #technologists are developing and deploying applications of their technologies for explicitly #ideological reasons, with those ideologies baked into the technologies. To use those technologies is to use a tool that comes with an #ethical or #political bent."Can someone inform Blackman that rent seeking is ideological too?
