Looks like Nolto found a future - just in a different field.
I reiterate my point on "this needs appropriate amounts of capital to execute as federated professional social network". Especially if it's supposed to not instantly fall into the extraction-business-model-trap / surveillance-capitalism-trap.

I have a short news reel about this on my loops.
Answer? You're correct, people are becoming lurkers.

@adafruit I love the The Opt-Out Cap https://www.macpierce.com/the-optout-cap toward the bottom of the article. It seems to be much more effective than dazzle makeup.
Proton Sheets is out and, at first glance, it looks pretty rich. I haven’t thrown anything “interesting” at it yet though.
Their Docs offering is, IMHO, still a bit basic but I expect it will come along.
Even if these don’t eventually get the same polish that O365 and G-Drive have the privacy angle more than makes up for that for me. It’s not as if I’m doing desktop publishing ;-)

'Microsoft has only disabled a small subset of services to a single unit in the Israeli military. “The vast majority of Microsoft’s contract with the Israeli military remains intact.”'
Don't stop talking about Gaza.

> "Der Handel mit derart detaillierten Handy-Standortdaten ist nach Einschätzung von Fachleuten nicht mit der #DSGVO vereinbar. Zudem haben Bundestagsabgeordnete wie @KonstantinNotz (Grüne) oder Roderich Kiesewetter (CDU) bereits vergangenes Jahr vor einer Gefahr für die #NationaleSicherheit gewarnt."
> "konnten wir [...] sogar Angehörige von Geheimdiensten und Regierungen vom Arbeitsplatz bis hin zu ihren Privatwohnungen tracken."
Vor einem Jahr erhielten wir einen Datensatz mit Milliarden Handy-Standortdaten aus Deutschland, vermittelt über einen Berliner Datenmarktplatz. Politiker*innen warnten vor einer Gefahr für die nationale Sicherheit. Neue Recherchen zeigen, wie der Marktplatz dem Geschäft weiter eine Plattform bietet.
Is #MassSurveillance something of the new #digital giant tech like #gafami or #BATX? Well, no. It is before all linked to nation-wide #administration. Large and precise #surveying goes back to the 1930's. The use of this public #data by the private sector for #marketing goes back to the 1940's. Computer made it easier and digital #cookies as well as #socialmedia boosted these trends into a huge #SurveilanceCapitalism .
Thanks to @taylorlorenz for this great video!
"DOGE is going nowhere. And the real point of DOGE is not to save American taxpayers money. It’s a fundamental re-writing of the social contract, the relationship of US citizens to the state, and the state to private enterprise. "
