post from The new age of privacy
I've got less than zero sympathy for companies like Facebook which argue they will be hurt by greater user privacy provisions. If your business model depends on building surveillance infrastructure and aggregating as much information as possible about peoples' private lives, your …

post from Building decentralized social media
Back when I was running Elgg, I'd meet someone every few weeks who wanted to build a competitor to Facebook. Inevitably, they would propose to do this by copying all of Facebook's features verbatim, but (for example) without an ad ecosystem or with a different algorithm for …

post #2020
December 31, 2019. I preen in front of my mirror, dressed in an elegant 1920s-style faux-vintage loaner from a friend, then add the finishing touches—costume jewelry, a feathered headband, glitzy earrings. A friend swings by with her dog to pick me up, and we head to the suburbs …

post from IndieWeb, Revisited
