Hello Mastondon-ers and -erettes.
Social media is a lot of work as is and this is yet another thing to maintain. I won't for the forseeable future really post a lot. I look at my mentions every few days though.
"They warned us, and we didn’t listen. Now an empire of data protection has been built around the crumbling edifice of control."
Woodrow Hartzog on the flawed idea of privacy as control.
People studied #Blockchain for development projects... and found nothing but PR material. No actual documentation or lessons learned. Just slideware.
Für ZEIT Online habe ich die 6 zentralen Irrtümer über die Digitalsphäre noch mal auf deutsch Zusammengefasst und durch eine Forderung am Ende ergänzt.
Nächsten Mittwoch bin ich im Bundestag als Experte zum Thema Blockchain (ich bin einfach zu erkennen: Ich bin der, der kein Blockchain Consulting zu verkaufen versucht). Es gibt einen Livestream.

I wrote about the 6 core falsehoods many people in tech and tech criticism believe in

I wonder if I should just turn off the Twitter Bridge here. Opinions?

If you had to recommend someone watch 5 TV series to really get a feel for you and your tastes what 5 would you pick?

Nein, Ahed Tamimi ist keine Friedensaktivistin. Und wer Martin Léjeune interviewt, ihn die Hamas unwidersprochen eine legitime Widerstandsgruppe nennen lässt, sich erst spät davon distanziert & nun hiermit um die Ecke kommt, dem geht’s nicht um Journalismus. https://twitter.com/tilojung/status/1036911771246886914

Malcolm Gladwell began his career as a pay-to-play Big Tobacco shill, and from there built a career pr'ing for PHARMA, banking, "broken windows" policing, and other wealthy reactionary interests.
Obviously he sees nothing wrong with fluffing Bannon https://shameproject.com/profile/malcolm-gladwell-2/

"Es gab keinen Mob, keine Hetzjagd und keine Pogrome."
Auf dem rechten Auge blind, verblendet und kein Rückgrat. Die Botschaft an die Opfer lautet: Ihr seid nicht sicher, wir werden euch nicht schützen! Die Nazis dürfen euch weiterhin jagen. Bitter!

That (absolutely vital) twig of freedom of speech that you justifiably cherish lives on the end of a huge branch and trunk of constraint. If you want a proper argument to this effect, instead of caffeinated tweets from me, read @jtlevy on this topic.

You spent a solid millennium slowly building an institution that is imperfectly but still pretty good at having productive, substantive arguments. And guess what! It functions mostly via safe spaces with extremely strong ground rules about what's up for discussion.
RT @kjhealy@twitter.com
Depressed by the number of academics on here who insist the sacred value of Free Speech demands putting up with all manner of flood-the-zone-with-shit / nothing-can-be-presupposed nonsense that they wouldn't tolerate for thirty seconds at a brownbag Q&A in their own department.

I'm trying to explain to my students why it's important to do the readings, or you'll have an understanding of ideas that are out of context. From today's slides:
I'm not sure if "check out my podcast" or "see my TED talk" are bigger warning signs in a Twitter bio.

Zum Stand des Solidaritätsgrades in diesem Land sei daran erinnert, dass die Leute inzwischen Notarztwägen aufhalten, aus Angst, zu spät zu einer Arbeit zu kommen, die sie krank macht.

Google Play Music schlägt mir permanent deutschen Pop vor und ich weiß auch nicht, was man da tun kann? Google anzünden?
