The DoJ's lawsuit against Google for illegal monopolization of digital advertising dropped last week. It's a 150-page document :allthethings: #digitaladvertising #dataprivacy #Google #techpolicy

🆕 Here's my first attempt to unpack what is probably one of the most complete antitrust cases in ad tech of the last decade. My focus? 👀 How three ad pricing manipulation schemes described in the suit hurt publishers: techpolicy.press/how-google-ma…

For the few of you following me on 🐦Twitter: it seems that my account is going to be silent as all my original Tweets are just cross posts from open social network Mastodon and this cross posting twitter api is going to be paid. ☹️

Twitter cutting off free access to its API will block research, kill fun bots.

I wrote this six years ago about Google's "family plans". It could quite easily apply to #Netflix and their recently announced changes.

I’ve written before about Solipsist design – those services which have been designed to work only for a very specific type of family. I was taking a look at Google’s “Family…

The higher you climb, the harder it gets. Yes, we're still #foldingAtHome – but we climb much slower now that we are about to reach the 2k mark: stats.foldingathome.org/team/2…

Will we make it? Currently, we climb between about 2..4 steps a day, but see above. Any folders out there joining us?

Partly screenshot of the Folding@Home team statistic page for Team codeberg.org – showing it is a "Top 10K Ranked Team" currently at rank 2,222

CASTING CALL: After our special Halloween crossover episode with Bitter Karella's Hugo-nominated twitter microfiction "The Midnight Pals", she and I got talking... and I can now reveal that we are making a WHOLE NOTHER AUDIO SERIES, "Submitted For the Approval of the Midnight Pals", a comedy-horror anthology in which classic horror authors, living and dead, gather around the campfire to tell their strange and scary tales. We're looking for four male-range voices for the parts of Stephen (King), Dean (Koontz), Clive (Barker) and Edgar Allan Poe. This is an unpaid, for-fun project, at least for the first season.

(There'll be further casting calls, including roles for all genders, for the guest casts of individual episodes, which we'll get to once we've filled out the main cast.)

Audition, or see further details, here: castingcall.club/projects/midn… (Content note: NSFW language in audition lines, especially for Clive)

We'd love to hear you!

I have - intentionally - installed a whole mess of #Matrix clients on various devices, and quite pleased with their interoperability, especially in terms of end-to-end encryption.

  • Element web client in Firefox
  • Gomuks terminal-based client on Linux (works on my aarch64 Pinebook Pro)
  • Nheko GUI client on Linux
  • Element on Android
  • FluffyChat on Android

I have not much to add apart from the fact they… just work 👍 Just to clarify my testing criteria: I’m using these devices for daily work so have little tolerance for inconvenient user interfaces or crashing, but I have lots of tolerance for aesthetics, emojis etc.
