Calling smartphone equipped teenagers 'digital natives' is a mistake because a smartphone makes you a consumer rather than a native of anything.

If you want a child to become a digital native give them an actual computer instead of a corporate controlled and curated consumer device.

This makes sense to me.

Beautiful that these random graveyards become areas of great biodiversity just by their nature of being undisturbed areas of reflection or solitude. Some even provide conditions for endangered plant species to thrive. Lovely to think of these quiet places dedicated to past lives blooming with wonderful and rare new ones.

Hack Sémantique/Mental #423

Les spéculateurs zélés des crypto-monnaies appelent leurs actifs/obsessions "crypto".

C'est trompeur, car "#crypto" signifie généralement "#cryptographie", une science utile ! Cela porte à confusion, en associant la cryptographie au jeu spéculatif de quelques privilégiés.

Pour équilibrer cela, j'ai décidé de ne qualifier les "crypto-monnaies" que de "monnaies", afin de souligner leur nature monétaire/financière.

Les mots sont importants.

Make a to-do list if you're feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes it helps to break things down into smaller pieces.

When researchers find a flaw in the way #Signal #Signalapp circumvents censorship in Iran (leading to identify its users), their issue get deleted from Signal's Microsoft Github and they get banned from Signal's repository...

..but only because they allegedly violated a "code of conduct" by being "disrespectful"!

Morality is safe! Iranians, maybe not... As long as we don't hear about it, there is no problem, right?

#Mastodon hypothesis of the day:

Why not *follow somebody randomly* today? Somebody we wouldn't have otherwised followed (empty profile, somebody re-tooting, or actual random content on some timeline...)

(We are indeed free to unfollow that person sometimes later..)

But why not giving them a chance? It's nice to them but also thisn't the *active gesture* of following what makes the #Fediverse denser, more connected, and maybe more interesting for everyone?

Limited access to legal counsel and a laptop with glued-down keys to prepare defense. No winter clothes. Up to 23 and half hours per day in isolation. That's how the UK is treating a publisher wanted by the US for revealing evidence of war crimes. #JournalistsSpeakUpForAssange
