Interview in PC Magazine. I had a nice chat with Chris Hoffman about some of the choices we make at @Vivaldi, not least when it comes to AI, Crypto and data collection.

A traditional Juneteenth celebration was held at Galveston's Reedy Chapel, the historic church that's one of the places where enslaved Texans learned they had been freed on June 19, 1865.
In recognition of #Juneteenth today, we’re sharing scans of General Order No. 3, the document that informed enslaved people in Texas that they were free on June 19, 1865, carrying out the Federal Government’s final execution of emancipation. 📜
Read the text in scans based on the original handwritten records preserved by the U.S. National Archives and saved to the Internet Archive ⤵️

Prior to 1865, many Afro-Texans reclaimed their sovereignty and autonomy
-- well before the federal government acknowledged their basic humanity,
though there’s a dearth of centralized information about Black placemaking in Texas from this time.
This reclamation was called “marronage”
—a term borrowed from French for this act of antebellum self-emancipation.
The word most often refers specifically to runaway slaves, or “maroons,”
who broke free to set up isolated communities in places like East Texas, Louisiana, and throughout the Global South.

For the first time in my career, I work someplace that actually acknowledges Pride Month. Not only that, but there's a training course on the company LMS about Stonewall Inn and definitions of "gender", "sex", and even "intersex". 🦊
Wrote down some rambling thoughts on “AI”: as generational damage, on what repair might look like, and on asking what happens next. https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/all-tomorrows-parties/
