Today is the official launch of my new blog: @buildnotes
Build Notes is a more focused blog through my personal business, Stygian Tech designed to highlight how I think about the products I build and the space in which I operate
The Digital Renaissance will remain my home for my less refined and broader thoughts and opinions, but this will be my home for talking about my apps, why I build them, and the like

"In the latest escalation of their efforts to push back against opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Department of Homeland Security is issuing hundreds of subpoenas to the largest social media companies, including Google, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Discord and Reddit, seeking to learn the personal information behind accounts that have either criticized ICE or alerted the general public to the locations of ICE agents, according to reporting conducted by the New York Times.

By now, most people know in the broad strokes about their digital shadows - but they may not have realized that they have digital twins that affect the content they see for someone else's gain. Even collectively.
Is what you're seeing on those platforms what someone else wants you to see?

Anfang des Monats habe ich versucht den Einstieg ins Fediverse halbwegs knapp zusammenzufassen.
Letzte Woche ist die Übersetzung fertig geworden.
...und heute kam tatsächlich ein Pöbelkommentar rein. Über die Bluesky-Brücke. Und bewarb komisches Zeug, dass die Suche auf Heise Online nicht findet. 😆
Ich saga mal so:
Wer Flak abbekommt, ist verdammt nah am Ziel. 😉

I'm happy to say my praxis of being a butt to people posting about how much they hate Windoze, but they hate people telling them to move to Linux even more, has worked well.
So many of them have blocked me I haven't seen a whiny, lazy, please-pity-me-I'm-a-masochist Windoze post in weeks!
