Reclaiming RSS

“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”

EasyDNS has an interesting position on GDPR compliance for businesses not based in the EU:

"All prior history of internet governance would have us taking the position that being a Canadian company we are going to operate by Canadian law, and not by European law."

Facebook put fake red dots to suggest you'd have new messages to rush you into agreeing to their tracking. It's time for companies to start value their users' right to privacy. That's why we ❤️ Mastodon. It has quickly become our preferred social media platform. Fighting for privacy is what we at Tutanota do every day: tutanota.com/#team

Facebook puts fake red notification dots to make you believe you have missed something in order to have you accept the new Terms and Conditions faster.

Whoever designed & implemented this needs to seriously reconsider their life choices.

It's interesting to me that "emoticon" and "emoji" look so similar but are etymologically unrelated.

"emoticon" - "emotion" + "icon"

"emoji" - 絵 ("e", meaning "picture" or "art") + 文字 ("moji", meaning "(written) character" or "kana")

@ apps that ask you to create an account for something that doesn't require an account: Why

@ apps that don't let you delete that account after deciding you don't want to use them: WHY

today: pajamas - shower - pajamas

How would you live differently if you had nothing to prove to anybody?
