While everyone if busy procrastinating with PKM apps like Notion or Obisidian, there is this really cool Swiss app called Anytype – anytype.io – It's great for procrastination, too. But it's Swiss and your files are actually yours.

Some tools and apps i've grown to admire: talk.brave.com – Videoconferencing for up to 4 free users without logins. Share a link and you're in. You can even share your screen and there is no timelimit on sessions. (Feels like pre-enshittified internet)

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are trans athletes in youth sports.

Fun fact: Als Google Mitte der Nullerjahre den Grund kaufte (Weizen- und Maisfelder), glaubte die Gemeinde Kronstorf, Google wolle hier einen Europastandort ansiedeln. (Man richtete sogar einen zweisprachigen Kindergarten ein.) Google ließ die Gemeinde in diesem Glauben.

ICYMI: Peter Thiel is building an AI system to attack and discredit journalists who criticize Big Tech, and downrate them for protecting their sources. Yet another emergency for the open society and democracy.

Peter Thiel's AI-powered truth 'tribunal' aims to make the media 'accountable'

TECH baron Peter Thiel thinks artificial intelligence should hold the media to account.

Yes, you solltest.

Man muss auch mal daran denken, welche Ängste diese Männer durchmachen. 1967 fühlt sich ein Ordner genötigt, mit Gewaltzu verhindern, dass Kathrine Switzer den für Frauen verbotenen Boston Marathon mitläuft 🤯

"Over the last few years, American tech oligarchs have become the greatest argument against their own existence. The sheer scale of their erratic behavior and political interference proves that extreme wealth concentration is a structural threat to society." -Joni Askola

this is a friendly reminder that we‘re still in the honeymoon phase of large language models, pre enshittification.

So there is this AI reenactment TV Series of the American civil war. I'm very curious how this will appeal to a mainstream audience. Is our culture ready to be slopified?

I know I'm very late to the party, macOS Tahoe is a few minor upgrades for the price of massively reduced battery life and sluggish performance. We'll see what happens at WWDC in June. Would be nice to drop that liquid glass nonsense.

I don't want to be rude, but: Dear #Adobe #InDesign. You were born in 1999. For 26 years, I've been waiting for a simple method to the content of two frames – like two images on a page. The solution after all these years? Duplicate both, then copy content and paste into frame – twice.

My first rodeo developing with – and around – #Shopify. Always saw it being recommended to beginners. You get a lot of basics OOTB. But that’s where the convenience stops and the #saas trap springs: A whole ecosystem of half-baked apps that help you avoid the (insanely priced) PLUS Plan.

The next victim of SaaS enshittification: I can no longer recommend whereby.com – It was once a great free tool for easily accessible, small video conferences that didn’t require a login and worked on all devices. Now the meeting for free accounts is limited to 30 minute calls.

The most daming claim in this statement IMO: Within 15 minutes of DOGE accounts being created… Attackers in Russia tried logging in using those new creds. Correct usernames and passwords. 2 options here. The DOGE device was hacked. And I don't think I need to explain the 2nd.
