Should not be adding any more slides to this talk but I just made an exception to mention @FuckOffGoogle – a great example of what I’m calling “social regulation” (contrast with legislative regulation and technological regulation) of surveillance capitalists.

We start winning this war when they start becoming socially unacceptable. So it was with Big Tobacco, so it shall be with Big Data and Big Tech.

So do tell them to “fuck off” whenever you get the chance – time for being polite is over.

Moritz Metz came by KOBA this week to ask my perspective on the German maker-scene for Deutschlandfunk Kultur. The question whether making and DIY are new... or just internet-worked versions of age-old traditions. And why is CNC milling "making" but flatbed knitting not? And what about all these materials we're making with!? I want to know more about where these are coming from and how to deal with them when I'm done with them.

Forget Zuckerberg: the tech giants don’t have to own the future

reading this, i noticed i was hoping for even more hopeful examples to be coming from the tech dev world..... but then started thinking maybe it's more up to us users to be better supporters of what we deem to be brighter alternatives. that we people supporting the technologies we believe in is where the hope lies...
and of course here on Mastodon this is where that is happening....
