Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

The idea of a benevolent dictator to get past the nonsense is appealing for those who can’t think more than a step or two ahead and consider what happens next. — @mmasnick

I think it’s crazy that Alan Dye had no experience with UI design before being thrust into a position of power over platform design, affecting millions of apps at a global scale. He has a responsibility to the industry. Platform design should be way more comprehensive and far less restrictive than this.

Edit: H/T to Minutes to Midnight blog for providing a link to this article: A Responsibility to the Industry.

"it makes absolutely no sense that Alan Dye has the power he has, because he simply has no taste. But what’s worse is that he wields that power so clumsily, so carelessly. And because it goes unchallenged, unchecked by someone higher than him, the entire industry suffers the consequences."

Powerful piece about Liquid Ass and the person pushing it at Apple. I had no idea it had gotten so bad, but I’m still holding with my decision to avoid upgrading, and to keep digging on my tunnel out of the walled garden. #Apple has lost its way. https://lmnt.me/blog/a-responsibility-to-the-industry.html

A few times recently, I've made point that software design reflects the business and economic models behind it. And, importantly, that Free Software should stop copying designs that came from proprietary software because it's both failing to capitalise on the benefits of Free Software and also putting itself on a weaker footing.

This is an excellent article about the lack of respect for UI design in Tim Cook's Apple. But underlying it is an unspoken assumption:

That the goal of an app is to make you not spend time in a competitor's app.

This is a requirement for proprietary software and it's fine for an article about the iOS ecosystem to take it as axiomatic. But it absolutely is not a requirement for any Free Software program. And, to end users, the lack of individual visual identity from different vendors is a benefit, because it means that the tight coupling of visual clues and behaviour makes it easier to transfer learnings from one app to another. This is a place where Free Software could provide a clear benefit, but in fact ends up doing the opposite.

Memoirs of the CP/M creator released:

“Our father, Gary Kildall, was one of the founders of the personal computer industry, but you probably don’t know his name. Those who have heard of him may recall the myth that he ‘missed’ the opportunity to become Bill Gates by going flying instead of meeting with IBM. Unfortunately, this tall tale paints Gary as a ‘could-have-been,’ ignores his deep contributions, and overshadows his role as an inventor of key technologies that define how computer platforms run today.

Gary viewed computers as learning tools rather than profit engines. His career choices reflect a different definition of success, where innovation means sharing ideas, letting passion drive your work and making source code available for others to build upon. His work ethic during the 1970s resembles that of the open-source community today."

…contrary to fears that productivity and the provision of services would suffer, nothing could be further from the truth. Extensive research has shown that they have remained the same or even improved, sometimes just by removing longer coffee breaks or prioritising work better.

“Even God Cannot Hear Us Here”: What I Witnessed Inside an ICE Women’s Prison

Tufts University doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk opens up for the first time about her shocking arrest and 45 days in a South Louisiana processing facility. She recalls the generous and compassionate women who helped her through this harrowing ordeal.

> To my surprise, I discovered handwritten notes scattered throughout the book, dated and written by various detainees over time. These messages were filled with reminders of hope, strength, and the assurance that this, too, shall pass.

“They shared how cold they were in the wintertime, with no extra blankets, jackets, or proper shoes being provided. They shared stories of witnessing violence.

The next chapter of my experience in prison began in that moment. Over the next six and a half weeks, I found myself immersed daily in the love, beauty, resilience, and compassion of these women."

"Demeaning people because they use non-federated platforms is the dumbest marketing ploy I have ever seen. By which I mean: It is anti-marketing. You are alienating your audience.

Quit talking about how bad other places are and focus on how awesome the fediverse is."
