"The reason you begin tracking your data is that you have
some uncertainty about yourself that you believe the data
can illuminate. It’s about introspection, reflection, seeing
patterns, and arriving at realizations about who you are
and how you might change."
—Eric Boyd, self-tracker

About the capture of #PersonalData for #diningOut:

“Reservations have removed the spontaneity of New York in a big way,” says Stampa-Brown. He’s sitting on a bar stool at Bandits, the Greenwich Village cocktail bar he opened in 2021. “We wanted to be able to reinject fun into everything when we opened, but we had to have #reservations.” https://ny.eater.com/2023/2/1/23475584/how-resy-won-reservation-wars-opentable via @janiswong #DataPrivacy #intermediation

How Resy Won the Reservation Wars in New York City

The company entered the reservation game as a local competitor to OpenTable. A decade later, it’s shaping how New Yorkers eat at and end up in restaurants.

À chaque fois qu'un gouv annonce une nouvelle mesure qui concerne les mères séparées, il s'agit d'une bonne opération de propagande patriarcale (du type "KDO des élites à la veuve et l'orphelin") avec son lot de désinfos inside.

C'est aussi l'occase de rappeler l'angle mort des analyses produites par le boys-club des factcheckeurs qui ne s'intéressent guère aux désinfos qui profitent leurs privilèges de classe.

Intimacy Does Not Scale

... We’re having a public conversation in a very large room with really strange acoustics. Whispers carry 'round the world (and beyond), and resonate for years. And yes, this means others can listen, and engage. There are many people who seem to believe this is not the case. Unfortunately, that’s a belief strongly at odds with reality. Such misalignments often result in disappointment. ...

Intimacy Does Not Scale

Intimacy Does Not Scale So, on another social network, a familiar pattern emerged earlier today: Person A discussing a matter of personal relevance, with a specific interpretation. Person B, not an immediate party to the conversation, but linked through other participant C, voices an apparently reasonable alternate viewpoint. Person A attacks B, largely for challenging A's narrative. Person B counterattacks A, calling out the hostility. Several others join. (Please trust me that the details and specific conversation do not matter. The pattern is an archetype.) In the ensuing conversation, a friend, online discussion facilitator, my own instance's admin, and a long-time friend from Google+ days, suggests a technical solution: context tags, applied by post authors. TL;DR: I don't think technical fixes will work here. My first inclination on seeing several later posts in the thread was to note that some people operate in "conflict reduction" mode, others in "conflict amplification" ...
