By way of an overdue #introduction; I'm rather a simple soul, I mainly enjoy tinkering with #computers, strumming #guitars and a wee bit of #spaniel sitting. I'm now taking some tentative first steps into #gardening too, just to fall in with the #retired stereotype I suppose. I'm also reading the #internet and I'm currently about halfway through it. I detest #BigTech, the #algorithm, #AI and #SurveillanceCapitalism. I love the #Fediverse because it reminds me of the olde worlde internet. I try to post/boost a little bit of everything and anything, including #art, #science, #botany, #transport, #animals, #architecture and #humour, without getting too mired in #politics, although it's not easy to avoid politics when you care about #nature and the #environment. I'm happy to interact with everyone/anyone irrespective of creed, colour, nationality or gender/sexual preferences. In the nicest sense of the word, I really don't give a fuck what you are. I consider myself to be a floating voter of centre/left leaning persuasion. I support the notion of managed #degrowth and #social responsibility. I would rather discuss the common ground we share and aim to respect our differences. I try to avoid fuckwits wherever I encounter them. That'll do for now although I dare say I'll edit this over time. Thanks for reading and peace out☮️

Belgium is the next European country to take communication between public workers into its own hands. No more WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger, it's Beam from now on. *Beam has been developed by the state-backed company Belgian Secure Communications (BSC). It will eventually be used by around 750,000 public sector employees and military personnel.* https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2026/03/18/new-app-provides-secure-messaging-service-for-public-sector-empl/ #DigitalAutonomy #BigTech #SecureCommunication #Matrix 1/2

So MYOB is teaming up with Microsoft in the great AI accounting arms race. Worth remembering: Microsoft already has its own competing stack (Dynamics etc), so this isn’t charity — it’s about pulling MYOB deeper into its ecosystem. History suggests that getting into bed with Microsoft rarely ends well for the smaller partner (just ask Nokia…). Feels less like a partnership and more like a slow absorption play. #ausbiz #accounting #ai #bigtech #microsoft https://www.smartcompany.com.au/technology/accounting-ai-arms-race-heats-up-myob-microsoft-partnership/

We had to purchase a new minivan recently, went with a Kia hybrid, and guess what it connects to the Internet! I haven't activated it because I don't want it tracking me, however is it tracking me anyway?

Activate it, and file a right to opt out
Don't activate it, and still file an opt out

Protocol overseeing no one.

That's the core idea behind privacy-first crypto like #PIVX. No central authority. No gatekeepers. No one watching over your transactions. 🙈

In a world where surveillance is becoming the norm, true decentralization means taking control back.
