Collecting

I use this website to collect, and eventually syndicate, my thoughts and interesting links.

  2. Don’t mistake platforms for people

    I responded to a post on LinkedIn asking for advice for making the experience more endurable. While I was writing it a few of pennies dropped about social networks. 1. Don’t mistake the platform for the people on it. 2. If we earnestly play the algorithm game and let it determine discovery, we’ll always be short-changed. 3. Perhaps a more direct approach with people might be better?

  3. Custom OS experiment

    After listening to various podcasts featuring @pluralistic@mamot.fr and his last few DEFCON talks, I’ve very temped to install the de-Googled OS https://e.foundation/ on my Fairphone to prove to myself and others that there is an alternative the status quo.

  7. Drastic measures

    I assume the desire for engagement metrics meant the simple method of sharing a podcast mp3 file via an rss feed was no longer viable. Well shenanigans to that! I’ve just thought of a ludicrous way to break podcast content out of its walled-garden so I can reliably point to a mp3 file.
