My talk from Open Source Summit on Wide Review (of standards / specifications) is now live! https://youtu.be/jmRrj48CRE0 This talk goes into some detail on why #WideReview is important, how it works in W3C (and in @tag), and how it contributes to a better future, particularly when including #Ethical and #HumanrRights considerations. #OSSummit#OpenSourceSummit

...The 4. pillar of our success: building an #ethical business.
When we first published Tutanota in 2014 shortly after the Snowden leaks and under the impression that end-to-end encryption is mostly needed to defend citizens from eavesdropping of state actors
This is still the case

Reddit is going public via the IPO route. Last year, the CEO got $193 million, but moderators are not paid and expected to work free past IPO. Only some moderators and active users in the USA can apply for Reddit's initial public offering to buy stock at a special price. Most Reddit users are motivated by fake karma points and likes. Also, they banned all unofficial Reddit mobile clients. Meanwhile, the CEO profits while everyone provides free labor.
@nixCraft I never spent money on #Reddit gold coins or avatar tweaks. I only saw it as a way for them to further line their pockets with cash with zero value-add to the user.
On the surface, it's a #free forum site with communities for just about every topic imaginable. Under the surface, the users ARE the product. Every other conglomerate-owned #socialmedia platform does this.
However, this one feels different, especially where other platforms have tripped and fallen over major #greed driven changes which also have major #ethical ramifications. The lessons learned from these other platforms were seemingly ignored and valuable case studies were overlooked, again.
When the #api drama unfolded last summer surrounding 3rd party apps, Musk was well underway destroying #Twitter. More missed opportunities on how NOT to run a social media platform.
Reddit already admitted another blackout will hurt them. This will do the same.
I'm planning my escape from iCloud. Any recommendations for storage that dont mine data or use it for machine learning? Affordable is also great! #iCloud#ethical#cloudstorage#privacy#blockstorage? Please boost to give me more response as I think there are more mastodonians with the same question.
