Nextcloud's federation: for a better digitally sovereign future!
At the core of Nextcloud's mission: We don't want to live in a world where 5 #BigTech companies control all communication and collaboration.
We all deserve something better!
I like the key finding: "Consolidation of power in Big Tech companies creates over-reliance on single points of failure. Diversity creates strength: the internet should not be confined to narrow pathways and walled gardens."
#bigtech REALLY needs to be limited. The question is - how?
La campaña de exterminio iniciada por las FDI desde el pasado 7 de octubre de 2023 ha contado con el apoyo de Amazon, Microsoft y Google, con servicios que hacen posible el uso de la inteligencia artificial en los ataques a Gaza y a Líbano.

(Upd: link to a post in Fediverse with tech details fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/…)

It turns out Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on `*.google.com` access to private APIs, including your current CPU usageYou can test it out by pasting the following into your Chrome DevTools console on any Google page:
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(

{ method: "cpu.getInfo" },

🇬🇧 New Rules for #BigTech? The EU's Digital Services Act (#DSA) does not protect you from the surveillance capitalist business model, including highly problematic timeline algorithms and platform censorship.

Industry-friendly EU Digital Services Act leaves big tech business model intact
As of today, the largest internet corporations such as Amazon, Meta (Facebook, Instagram), TikTok, X/Twitter, Youtube and the Google search engine must comply with the new EU Digital Services Act.Patrick Breyer

If you want to force Big Tech to support local journalism, fine, but find another way. Don't destroy the link, which is basically tantamount to destroying the web.

Serious Question: who cares about #mastodon user counts? and why? – outside #SiliconValley #BigTech #VC #Media #Attention #Surveillance #SurveillanceCapitalism interests?
While this law is incorrectly smeared as a gift to #BigTech, it is most needed by small services that can't possibly afford to monitor everything their users say:

Hello! You've Been Referred Here Because You're Wrong About Section 230 Of The Communications Decency Act

If you don’t know what I mean when I say “surveillance capitalism” or “people farming”, here’s a quick overview I did for the BBC a little while ago:
