@npub1lrv…tth9 An underreported aspect of that WaPo story is what happened next - I'm not making this up - Apple ripped off the WaPo video for its next ad campaign:

@npub1xdd…e9jk totally agree. I run a volunteer radio show covering the threat of Big Tech and the possibility of indie tech. The show is called Techtonic - find it at https://techtonic.fm - broadcast (and podcast) via @WFMU .
Speaking of Low Tech Magazine, I interviewed the founder, Kris De Decker, on Techtonic recently:

@npub1hyk…3p33 really like this Privacy First proposal. one small item - maybe you're thinking of BIPA, the Illinois biometrics law (rather than Ohio)? mentioned here -

I like how @npub1typ…c8hh describes what's changed in search UX:
"For their first 25 years of existence, Internet search engines functioned as librarians. Their goal was to point us to a resource that we could ourselves ingest and learn from.
"But now, Ellandorff observes, search is becoming more like a doctor [meaning, it just gives an answer without pointers to further context]."
