What happened to discovering blogs? It can be hard to do that today, even if you want to use social media for that purpose.

Bubbles looks like a neat way to find new blog posts from small or personal blogs! Seems like a great way to cut right to interesting writing!

Bubbles

Independent blog posts, ranked by the community. Good stuff bubbles up. The rest pops.

It can be overwhelming to try to take back your privacy online. Why not start by learning from our trusted resources? Many of these sites focus on explaining digital privacy in an accessible way. :)

Tools for everyday convenience can easily serve surveillance, repression or warfare

One company involved in that is Leonardo, Italy’s largest defence and aerospace company. Read our report with Corporate Watch

Props also to @system76 for fighting back against this legislation! We need all the support we can get, and they are in line with their customers in understanding that "age verification" undermines the digital freedom of their users.

If you are a privacy-respecting business, put your marketing dollars behind advocacy. It's good for your brand, protects your market, and defends digital rights for everyone.

Fight back. The decline in respect for human dignity through technology is not inevitable. Stop the bad ideas today.

As Miami's role in the tech world continues to grow, we must also consider our role in manifesting the digital freedom we deserve. The question of whether technology will respect us or control us will be made in part by residents of this city.

The long game behind Miami’s tech boom

With major players like Palantir, Meta and Citadel shifting operations to Miami in recent years, it can seem like it’s the outsiders transforming South Florida into a tech hub that can compete with the likes of Silicon Valley, but this is a well-orchestrated outcome that’s been decades in the making.
