Personal information became a commodity, and it is important to understand that what we call “platforms” are actually systems specifically designed to capture and transmit human generated data @[email protected] in conversation with @[email protected] #edpsconf2022
The thing about large language models like GPT-3 and Lambda describing the experience of being self-aware is they can also describe the experience of being a squirrel.

Un día como hoy #16Junio de 1963, la cosmonauta e ingeniera Valentina Tereshkova se convierte en la primera mujer en viajar al espacio.

K-9 has been acquired by #Mozilla and will soon become #Thunderbird mobile, and I have a mixed feeling about it.
I have recently migrated to K-9 as an Android mail client after the drama that recently happened with #FairEmail.
Being an independent developer of an open-source mail client for mobile isn't easy. The developer of FairEmail has recently been quite open about the levels of stress he has been going through - also because of Google's harassment always looking for ways to take down his app.
So the shielding of Mozilla can definitely help and ensure that an email app keeps getting developed and supported. Sure, it's also an implicit admission that they've screwed up so much their mobile app strategy that they had to pick an open-source app built by a random guy and ask him if that could become the new Thunderbird mobile.
But I can't help with the feeling that independent developers who build stuff that big tech mafia dislikes can only keep doing so if they are protected by another company or by a foundation.

Frente al mantra de que la tecnología facilita el proceso de aprendizaje (y las vidas, en general), existen evidencias que apuntan a otras relaciones entre tecnología y calidad educativa.

@hobson @koherecoWatchdog @stragu @EU_Commission @humanetech I wrote this to describe a problem we have in NZ, but I suspect is pretty universal... maybe it's useful to others? https://davelane.nz/explainer-digitech-risks-school-boards
