&quot;The new platform, W, will require identification and photo validation&quot; oh so it&#39;s basically Chat Control but disguised as a &#39;new social network&#39;. Got it. https://cybernews.com/tech/europe-social-media-w/

I have been procastinating installing my new phone because I really wanted to use the phone migration momentum to start my #digitalsovereignty journey. Took me all evening but I&#39;m proud to say I finally moved all my phone pics backup away from Google Photos by running Immich on own Hetzner cloud server with a Storage Box mounted over SSHFS 🥵 Next step: Moving my computer backup away from Google Drive to NextCloud! #doeidag

RE: https://todon.eu/@tek/116489975212684711 This is shocking, #rightscon is really important moment for civil society and human rights defenders to gather, and the space keeps shrinking and shrinking... Ever since Trump&#39;s slashing of USAID it&#39;s like all bets are off for great powers to annihilate the work of NGOs (it&#39;s speculated that China put pressure on Zambia, this year&#39;s host of the conference, because there were going to be Taiwanese delegates)

Getting back into blogging this year, and I’m starting with the online discourse RE: the disturbing CNN story on the “rape academy” and the misnumbered “62 million men” participating. There’s a tension between accuracy and activism that occurs when details of a story get distorted and mischaracterized in the trickling down of news. “What good does it do to demand factual purity from protesters who are faced with violence on a daily basis?” https://nathalievanraemdonck.com/2026/04/21/factcheckin...

Titillating talk by @couldrynick at @zemki on corporate capture of the human mind of AI. Interesting how defending the use of AI is seen by some as &quot;post-structuralism&quot; whereas resistance is framed as remainder humanism. I agree with Nick&#39;s plea to build conversations on the social contract that is emerging through our uses of AI, although I am left wondering what then is and isn&#39;t useful AI, or if our only option is to resort to abstinence and resistance.
