been thinking about the low societal rumblings from ideas like: #smallweb / #slowtech / #offline / #solarpunk / #digitalminimalism / etc and i would like to declare that i officially request we bring back cybercafes.

i dont just mean some hipster nod to them, but rather specifically that they serve as *the only* place you can surf the web and check your mail. no other access to the internet, period.

Sur mon blog, une petite réflexion/ explication sur sur les choix d'une communication numérique réduite malgré les impératifs économiques...

(ainsi que sur le paradoxe qui consiste à passer beaucoup trop de temps à chercher des outils qui, peut-être, me feront gagner du temps !)

Mit drei Kindern lernt man schnell: alles ist Priorisierung.

Auch Open Source.

There’s a lot of noise about “innovation” and “AI” right now.
But the real question is quieter.

It’s not just where your data sleeps.
It’s who can legally wake it without asking.

Geography sets the stage.
Law writes the script.

Control of data isn’t a hobby.
It’s a survival trait.

Good morning from a windy Isle of Man lighthouse 🌬️🌊
The sea is loud, the clouds are in a hurry, and the coffee is doing its best work.
A reminder, on days like this, that not everything needs optimising.
Some things just need standing firm and staying lit.

There’s a lot of talk about “innovation” and “AI” lately. I’m curious where people actually stand on control of their own data?
