Due to the recent popularity of #Conversations_im, I've already earned more than enough money this month and have decided to make the app free this week. Use this opportunity to onboard friends who might otherwise have a hard time paying for the app

Conversations (Jabber / XMPP) - Apps on Google Play

Federated instant messaging for your mobile device (Jabber, XMPP, Snikket)

The goal is to make corporate data less profitable.

Even stuff as simple as setting your birthdate to 1970-01-01 everywhere, adding [TEST] or [DELETED] as your name or account notes anywhere you don't need them to know your name.

Using plugins like AdNauseam to poison ad trackers (and cost them marketing dollars).

Using VPNs set to different locations.

Signing into data broker sites to "correct" outdated info (they'll often let you do that with little-to-no proof of identity, but will require your passport or state ID in order to delete your info). Bonus points if you correct it to someone else's info on their site that's similar to yours.

Only fill in required fields when you sign up for anything, but only provide correct info if it matters for you to use the service, otherwise provide plausible, but incorrect, data.

If you use LLMs anywhere, use the free tier and always vote thumbs up for bad answers and down for good ones. It wastes their resources and drives up their costs while making their training data worse.

The money is there, or was..

El señor de en medio de la foto soy yo. Y si se hace zoom sobre mi cara se puede constatar que soy la persona más feliz del mundo al presenciar el despliegue de una de las políticas más bonitas en materia de movilidad, seguridad y autonomía peatonal infantil: el primer Entorno Escolar Seguro y Saludable del municipio de Parla.

El mecanismo es muy simple: una valla que abre y cierra. Y ya. A la hora de entrada y salida de peques del cole, la valla cierra la calle al tráfico y abre la calle a la infancia. Y durante ese tiempo vuelve la vida.

Este es el motivo por el que me metí en política.

Genial video (English) que explica muy gráficamente qué es la "enshittification". https://youtu.be/ii-D9LaitUw?si=AjV3H39I4n1fSgw0

Growing packaging? I’ve seen clever things before, but this is next level!! We seriously need to be investing in companies like this…

A la gente de Estados Unidos que decía que daba igual a quien votar no les ha ido muy bien. Pensaban que con Kamala iban a estar igual de mal. Y no votaron. Ahora están luchando por los derechos más básicos.
Ya empiezo a escuchar en España a gente con la misma idea. No se si ni son conscientes de lo mucho que nos jugamos y lo fácil que es retroceder.
