Dear fellow devs,
When you invest in a surveillance capitalist like Twitter & help them build their platform by making apps for them, using their APIs, etc., know that they’ll have your back. And by that I mean they’ll throw you under the bus the first chance they get.
We’ve all made the mistake at one time (heck, I made both a Twitter & Facebook app using their APIs and thought I was helping build the “open web” ‘cos I trusted Tim O’Reilly).
Just avoid it next time.
The below post from the @fsf keeps repeating multiple times in a group daily. Every day there are more copies of it in the grouping.
Any ideas why it's happening or how to stop it other than unsubbing the FSF?

I find a lot of my disagreements with fellow activists are about "X is *more important* than Y for winning our cause". Usually they aren't mutually exclusive, and to really win, we usually need X *and* Y. To get there, we need a diverse set of contributor types and to value all.
I'm in Strasbourg, lobbying hard. Updates soon, but was able to talk to Axel Voss, the main guy behind the current (bad) versions of #Art11 and #Art13. Doing my best to #SaveYourInternet.
Lessons from today:
- Pro-Art11/Art13 MEPs do not know how copyright law works (no surprises there, the copyright law is a mess!)
- Wikimedia Commons is a very good example of a service that could suffer very much.
- As during #ACTA, MEPs are not entirely against sitting down and discussing the issues.

This is fucking beautiful. A #pdx carpenter union member is at #OccupyICEpdx offering union positions to ICE agents willing to quit their jobs.

Made me think of the magical trace lute, an instrument, that when played will debug your network and untangle the interwebs for you

I've written a lot, in other places about how the modern web is a trashfire. I'm not going to re-hash all those ideas here, but I'll sum up:
- Massive downloads for no reason
- Arbitrary code execution
- Tracking you constantly (advertising)
- Increasingly silo'd
- Tracking you constantly (NSA Panopticon)
- Bad Laws (we'll discuss this at length.)
- EME/DRM in browsers
