We've signed an open letter by @fightforthefuture.org calling on Meta to keep encryption on Instagram available. 🔒

Why? Lots of activists use social media - and in times like these they need #privacy more than ever!

If Meta does not change its mind, your DMs will be open starting on May 8! 💡 Switch to #Instagram alternatives now: https://tuta.com/blog/instagram-alternative

Viva Vocal Ensemble (led by @caseymoir ) will perform at Fylkingen as a part of Svensk MusikvÄr this saturday (21st).

They will perform 3 pieces, all by Casey. One of the pieces was commisoned to the "designing voices" festival last september and very well received!

Voluntary entrance for people that feel like they are running a bit low on cash!

The Visible Voice

Fem röster möts i ljud, gest och rumslighet, och skapar multisensoriska upplevelser dÀr röst, öra, öga och kropp blir ett. Viva Vocal Ensemble tar publiken med pÄ en resa genom experimentell musik och ovÀntade klanger. Konserten Àger rum pÄ Fylkingen, scenen dÀr konstnÀrer och publik mötts i över 90 Är av lek, utforskande och nya uttryck.

And they respond like I'm the one being unreasonable
Reading https://thatshubham.com/blog/news-audit ( HT @pluralistic ) and I'm astounded.
I had heard of web ad auctions.
I had heard of edge computing.
I did not realize they were pushing their ad auction calculations onto your device!
Knowing this, I think ad blockers are too polite a response. Are there any browser plugins that send them something like a decompression bomb? Or maybe that interferes in the ranking so the cheapest bid is returned as the winner? My device is the one deciding, after all!
