Drastically increased my podcast listening time in the past months and managed, for the first time in 5 years, to empty the list of episodes I wanted to hear.
So if you have any good suggestions for #tech, #EthicalTech, #SocialImpact,... related #podcasts, in English, French or Spanish, I'm all ears.

Here’s the deal:
You pay for a streaming service.
But the artist only gets a sliver of that.
And it’s a tiny sliver. Like, a really tiny sliver.
Instead of supporting the artists, the model feeds massive corporations that don’t care about the music. It’s time to change that. The Pack is about streaming that actually supports the artists you love—directly, fairly and transparently.

For weeks I have been telling reporters that #Trump could have the power to switch off our tech in #Europe. It felt a bit alarmist until I just read that #Microsoft, on the behest of the #US gov, has suspended the email account of Karim Khan, the #ICC chief prosecutor.
One of the most important international courts and a legal bulwark against #genocide, crimes against humanity, and #warcrimes is threatened by #BigTech dependency.

I've been researching Fairphone and its connection to open-source initiatives like /e/OS. It's inspiring to see companies prioritizing ethical sourcing and repairability! We need more sustainable tech options. #Fairphone #eOS #sustainability #ethicaltech
#Watching The Internship (2013) reminds me how tectonically the narratives around corporate tech have changed in the last decade. I doubt you couldn sell an aspirational story about interning at Goggle now.
We did that. All of us. Working *together*.
Here’s something wild: musicians now make more money from crowdfunding than streaming.
Why? Because platforms like Spotify pay them so little, they have to ask fans for money just to get by (and so do we).
That’s not a business model. That’s exploitation.
Let’s build a system where musicians don’t have to beg to survive. Let’s make fair streaming a reality. https://crowdfunding.startsomegood.com/thepackmusiccoop

So I wrote a fairly long response to Eddy Burback's latest video.

Fresh off the press! I’ve just received the printed edition of 'Disinformation and Risk Society. What is at Stake with the Proliferation of Information Disorders', a collective effort to dissect the complexities of today’s information landscape. And guess what? The Fediverse takes center stage in my contribution! 
Key topics I explore:
The roots and evolution of decentralized online social networks (DOSNs). The Musk Effect—how Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover fueled a migration wave to Mastodon. The promise (and challenges) of community-driven moderation. How the Fediverse can empower ethical, independent journalism in an era of algorithmic chaos.
Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dbexg4-M
Note: The video I’m sharing was generated with AI. Join the conversation on how AI, HPC, and ethical innovation can power a sovereign and green hashtag#Europe.

The price of everything
I used to think "free" search was a no-brainer. Then I realized how much of my data, time and attention I was handing over. 
After having tested it for a week, I now use the paid search engine Kagi.com , and it's been a game-changer.
The level of digital tranquility that has followed is indescribable.
Finally, I feel like I'm in control of my online experience.

#TIL about one of the many potentially important standards reports that seem to have been pushed onto the backburner by the pandemic.;
"The report, Ethically Aligned Design, was released today by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It is the culmination of a year's work by 250 world leaders in technology, law, social science, business and government spanning six continents."
#IEEE, 2017

DID YOU KNOW that it takes 5000+ Spotify streams for an indie artist to afford a cup of coffee? 
That’s a lot of caffeine debt.

I had to let some of the screaming out in the form of a blog post. Partly to resurrect a site which has been dead for over a year, partly to start a series of posts ethical tech choices including a move to @publii. H/T to @coreysnipes for the Publii suggestion, and to everyone out here doing the good work that non-programmer like me get to benefit from!

We’re leaving Facebook permanently. Recent changes to Meta’s fact-checking policies and their overall approach no longer align with the open-source values we hold dear: transparency, collaboration, and community empowerment.

Which smartphone and Android combination would you choose if you, like me, valued both not giving money to big tech corpos AND ethically made products? Why?
Assume money is no issue and some apps that use/depend on Google services (such as banking apps) must be installed. #smartphone #Android #privacy #ethicalchoices #ethicaltech
