Pour ceux qui en doutaient encore, il s'agit de la preuve que ces dispositifs sont des espions entièrement contrôlés par #EvilCorp : Google.

Me: ...and as Knuth used to say, every problem has a solution that's neat, fast and wrong.

Startuppers and VCs in chorus: hey, we can sell *that*!

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.”

I just read on a main newspaper that "algorithms and math are rarely the problem in Data Science. The problem is with data".
Noooo, really?
My roadmap for data driven dates 2013.
My speech "How to slowly and painfully sink any data-driven project": 2015.
In the same period I applied 5K+ times.

Wow, FileZilla’s bundled installer includes a malware downloader and the dev defends it horribly.

If using FileZilla, uninstall and find something else. Even if this issue is fixed, the morally ambiguous and defensive response is very concerning.

@charlyblack @InspectorCaracal @Gargron Avoid anything which centralizes attention within the network. Trending hashtags, global rankings or scores, things like that. They will all reproduce the bad aspects of Birdsite. People should find stuff through community engagement and algorithms aren't a good substitute.

@Gargron I fear this has the effect of amplifying 'popularity', and replicate the shitty birdsite social dynamics related to that... (each user should have the possibility to custom hide counts of following/followers to the whole fediverse imo, not a popular feature perhaps but a long-sighted one) @InspectorCaracal
