The W3C – the standards body of surveillance capitalism – on privacy.

If you had any “privacy principles” to speak of, what would Adobe, Alibaba, Amazon, Baidu, Bloomberg, Google, Huawei, IAB, IBM, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, Samsung, Bilibili, SoftBank, Tencent, Yahoo!, Zoom, etc., be doing on your members list?

By now, you should realize that there is no chance — zero — that global warming will remain comfortably below 1.5°C. It’s not going to happen, even though back in 2015 in Paris, nearly every country in the world agreed to take all necessary actions to achieve that.

So we know 1.5 is dead at this point. But why is it dead?

Take a look at the chart below of 40 leading nations and how each of them have done so far in meeting their climate commitments.

Nobody, not one nation, is on track to do what they promised. All we ever get is more Business As Usual.

#Google is trying again to convince you, YES YOU, to contribute for free to Google Maps.
Please don't.
It is 100% #proprietary, Google has full control over the data you added and people can only access Google Maps over proprietary channels where Google dictates the rules. This gives them too much power.

Contribute to #OpenStreetMap instead, it's a project by the community, for the community.

I don't hate proprietary software per se, I hate proprietary software for the consequences it has on the society, because it helps implenting the #dystipian subtly #distopic #elitist #surveillance regimes that are enslaving people everywhere in the world. It doesn't matter if it looks like #capitalism, #communism or #socialism. When entities are considered more important than people very bad things always happens


How clueless do you have to be to write for a major mainstream tech publisher?

About this clueless:

https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/10/23593966/cloudflare-mastodon-server-wildebeest-instance-fediverse

Wildebeest is not “Mastodon”.

It’s Cloudflare’s own implementation of an ActivityPub server that’s entirely locked in to their own ecosystem.

Avoid.

"We live in #capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. #Resistance and #change often begin in #art, and very often in our art, the art of words."
- Ursula K. Le Guin
