Glad to see action being taken against this law.

It baffles me when platforms think “oh, but we can help you see more relevant ads” is a selling point. Also, “not sharing data outside Reddit” doesn’t help either—it’s still an invasion of privacy.

Look, I’m glad my university is aware of and responding to the digital divide, but I’d appreciate a more critical treatment of what we’re doing. This sounds almost like ad copy for Apple, and it’s falling into a lot of tired edtech tropes about how technology must necessarily improve learning.

Look, I don’t know much about Hungarian politics, but it seems to me that it would take a hell of a lot of self-confidence to brag about an ally of Viktor Orbán visiting BYU. This feels like wading into the culture wars in a way that the LDS Church usually tries to avoid.

I love this interview so much and for so many reasons. I haven’t been a member of Community of Christ long enough to have personal connection with Wallace B. Smith, but I have a lot of respect for him.

Amazon is too big, and while I’m not a policy expert, I welcome government efforts to keep it in check.

Il y a peu d’occasions de voyager en train chez moi, et je dois donc profiter de ce genre de vidéo pour vivre un peu l’expérience. Comme la SNCF et les CFF me manquent ! Je n’ai pas d’expérience avec la RENFE, mais je suis impressionné par ce que je vois ici.

Some interesting writing on a topic I’ve posted about a few times recently.

Roth’s perspective is valuable here. Scary stuff.

Appreciate Doctorow’s detailed (and expert) perspectve here.

So neat! Gotta figure this out for my Hugo site.

Such a cool thing to do. I haven’t read Fables in ages, but may revisit it out of respect for Willingham.

This is an interesting interview. I don’t think I’m sold on the defense—if anyone can afford to pay artists, the team behind Terraforming Mars can—but I do see how there’s more nuance here than my gut reaction to the headline. Still not pleased, though.

What a wild story.

Quelle belle idée !

Faudra que je visite la petite ceinture un jour !

Team Firefox foreverrrrrr

Don’t love the idea of a fickle billionnaire having this much influence in world affairs.

Appreciate Doctorow’s thinking here.

A secular state is good, but French laïcité consistently goes too far.

What a mess this whole thing has been.

I’d like to read the whole report before coming to definitive conclusions but wow, are there some important lessons in here for edtech—not least, that efficacy cannot be our only concern!

I’ll admit that I’ve been wary of Masnick’s hostility to KOSA, but Blackburn’s comments justify his stance. This ought to kill support for KOSA.

Well, this sucks.

Neat! This could make a good reading for my class on games and meaning.
