#StravaEnshitification: "I suspect we’ll see a lot of companies just shut off the #API entirely, and perhaps that’s Strava’s goal. Though, I fail to see how that benefits paying #Strava subscribers, and thus Strava’s bottom line. Strava seems to be working very hard to kill off the #community of tens of thousands of apps that arguably made it so popular."

"I would like to use #Bluesky. They’ve done a bunch of seriously interesting technical work on moderation and ranking that I truly admire, and I’ve got lots of friends there who really enjoy it. But I’m not on Bluesky and I don’t have any plans to join it anytime soon. I wrote about this in 2023: I will never again devote my energies to building up an audience on a platform whose management can sever my relationship to that audience at will." @npub1fdrp...lvhs

"Tens of millions of #Trump voters support his program, yes, but the voters who pushed him over the edge into victory were essentially casting protest votes. The #Democrats have done everything they could to associate themselves with the ruling order: moving their politics to the right, shifting support away from supposed “leftists” within their ranks, demobilizing protest movements. It turns out that this was a losing wager at a time when people are hungry for change."

In many ways, the Democrats are responsible for Donald Trump’s return to power. Let's explore why.

"I just wanted to ask: Do you remember the first time you felt like #theWeb was magic? #Neopets was the first such discovery for me, but it was far from the last. Soon after, I would discover free web hosting services like #GeoCities, where I was allowed to do a lot more than was allowed in the Neopets sandboxed page editor. Then I discovered that I could edit #Wikipedia. Twelve years old, I saw “the encyclopedia that anyone could edit”, and I was like, "I’m anyone!""

"The #TechCoup: How to Save Democracy from Silicon Valley". "The book explains how the tech industry has effectively captured #government, assuming many of the functions traditionally held by governments, but without the oversight inherent in democratic governance. This includes areas like national security, domestic functions, and even the maintenance of #democracy itself."

"Once the use of #RSS feeds had become common, someone had the idea that audio files could be attached to them, and #DaveWiner implemented the idea with a nice geeky touch – attaching a song by the Grateful Dead. Initially the new technology was called audio blogging, but eventually a British journalist came up with the term #podcasting and it stuck."

"#TheInternet did not make us hate; we brought our bias, bigotry, and prejudice with us online. That’s why even well-intentioned regulation will fail to fix hate speech & misinformation and may instead imperil the freedom of speech the internet affords to all. Once we understand the internet for what it is—a human network—we can reclaim it… and turn our attention where it belongs: to fostering #community, #conversation, & #creativity online. "
