Admins of the fediverse are already overloaded. They're about to be a lot more so.

I just bumped my monthly donation to @CobaltVelvet from $10 to $40 a month. Heck, Elon wants to start charging $20/month for blue ticks and my experience here is worth at least twice that.

If you like your instance, support your admin. They need it. And talk about it: people are known to be more likely to give money voluntarily if they find out their peers are.

And fellow octodon users, let's see if we can get @CobaltVelvet some real actual support. If you aren't donating, please donate!

The goal of consumer tech development used to be pretty simple: design and build something of value to people, giving them a reason to buy it. A new refrigerator is shiny, cuts down on my energy bills, makes cool-looking ice cubes. So I buy it. Done. A Roomba promises to vacuum the cat hair from under my sofa while I take a nap. Sold!

But this vision of tech is increasingly outdated. It’s not enough for a refrigerator to keep food cold; today’s version offers cameras and sensors that can monitor how and what I’m eating, while the Roomba can now send a map of my house to Amazon.

The issue here goes far beyond the obvious privacy risks. It’s a sea change in the entire model for innovation and the incentives that drive it. Why settle for a single profit-taking transaction for the company when you can instead design a product that will extract a monetizable data stream from every buyer, returning revenue to the company for years? Once you’ve captured that data stream, you’ll protect it, even to the disadvantage of your customer. After all, if you buy up enough of the market, you can well afford to endure your customers’ anger and frustration. Just ask Mark Zuckerberg.

Join the Black Arts Centre at the Gallery for an afternoon of evocative performance and film.

The program features works by exhibiting artist Ogheneofegor Obuwoma alongside a performance by Chipo Chipaziwa. Obuwoma's and Chipaziwa's works highlight themes of Black identity, spirituality, and female agency. The screening will be followed by a conversation between the Black Arts Centre curator Olumoroti (Moroti) Soji-George and the two artists.
