Hmm. NY Times popup saying "support independent journalism."
I... do not think of the NY Times as being "independent journalism" which implies smaller, outside the mainstream. The NYT is the most mainstream of mainstream news orgs.

Any thought to the actual human part of it has gone out the window. But it doesn't need to be that way.
The key, to us, though was putting words to this concept β resonance β that almost everyone we've shared it with immediately recognized and understood, in order to get people thinking, talking about, and taking a more thoughtful approach.
We're hoping this is the beginning of a conversation, of a process, that gets more people to realize that the technology should work for us, not for a few giant companies. If you also feel this resonates with you, consider signing, and joining that conversation:

It feels a little weird to talk about a manifesto while saying that our intent here is humble/modest, but we try to be clear in the manifesto that this should be the start of a larger conversation, and that no one has all the answers.
Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that.
Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us.

We announced/released this at @wired.com@bsky.brid.gy's Big Interview event yesterday with @katie-drummond.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy and @stevenlevy.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy interviewing myself and @komorama.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy on stage.

Discord is doing a "wrapped" kinda thing now. Apparently I'm in the top 10% of Discord message senders? But it has a page talking about the person I share the most time with and suggested a message for me to send them, which would be... extremely inappropriate as it's someone who works for me.
