#techoptimism — Public Fediverse posts

🌊✨ A massive thank you to @jerry and his fantastic blue-ocean.social server for introducing me to Bluesky! I've created a new account: @debby.blue-ocean.social 🚀💙

With a decentralized server, I'm excited to see how I can maintain my privacy while enjoying all the benefits Bluesky has to offer 🌐🔒. I'll be sure to keep you all updated on my journey and share my thoughts on this Twitter alternative!

The platform's emphasis on user autonomy is a breath of fresh air, and while it seems to have less open-source technology themes than Mastodon, the overall vibe is incredibly refreshing 🌈! I really appreciate the tech-nerdiness in the Fediverse, but working in tech, I think it's essential to keep in touch with people without programming knowledge to stay connected to the broader society 😅.

At first glance, Bluesky feels like the old Twitter but with a much more positive twist.

Here's to new beginnings and the future of decentralized social media! 🙌💬

Happy birthday to ARPANET, the forerunner of the modern internet! 53 years ago, the first message was sent over this pioneering network, paving the way for a world of interconnection and innovation.

As a tech enthusiast, I am constantly amazed by the ways the internet has transformed our lives, allowing us to communicate, learn and share ideas across boundaries and borders. From social media to e-commerce, from telemedicine to remote work, the internet has become an essential part of our daily routines, enabling us to connect with others and access a wealth of information at our fingertips.

Finally, someone - in this case Matthew Iglesias, has taken on the #TechBro “technology optimists” who naively believe that we can ‘tech’, ‘build’, and ‘birth’ out way out of our current problem spaces. They’re wrong and it’s rubbish of course. Impulsive, immature naïveté by folks who SHOULD know better. This kind of insane, happy optimism in the face of overpopulation, climate change, a falling birthrate, war and polarization is just arrogant folly. They argue all technology is inherently good, uh-huh. Here’s Iglesia’s worthy takedown https://www.slowboring.com?utm_source=navbar&utm_medium=web&r=3icfk #technolgy #TechnologyOptimism #TechOptimism #Naivete #SiliconValley

"We can mitigate extant inequalities by tweaking the tech we have, if we would only choose to do so. Instead, we wax poetic about, and spend gazillions on, trying to achieve the Singularity." - @arstechnica
