"... companies like Uber typically want to grab and hold as much data as they can. When, in 1975, [Stafford] Beer argued that 'information is a national resource', he was ahead of his time in treating the question of ownership—just who gets to own the means of data production, not to mention the data?—as a political issue that cannot be reduced to its technological dimensions."

Had to finally unfollow @thenewoil. I’ve just been getting a flood of #Cloudflare links from that acct which is supposed to be #privacy focused. If #thenewoil would split and create a cloudflare-free account, I would follow that one.
"Google Chrome is spyware. End of story. If you want to regain privacy online, you NEED to pick a new browser. But there's so many choices, which one is best? Well, that's subjective, but in this video I'll highlight two of my favorite choices and compare them: Brave and Firefox." #thenewoil #firefox #brave #privacy

Show "The New Oil" podcast some love for hosting episodes on #funkwhale at open.audio:) @thenewoil

https://open.audio/channels/thenewoilpod/

Not only does this avoid Soundcloud (centralized... booo!) but you can also follow directly from Mastodon. If you have a podcast, consider giving open.audio a try ... it's free and it goes a long way to promote FOSS alternatives.

Short and sweet, and packed fully of useful information and tips. I highly recommend it!
