Elon Musk suspended Linette Lopez from Twitter after years of critical reporting on his companies.

In a new piece, she lays out Elon Musk’s playbook of exploiting workers while building a cult following. These tactics aren’t new. Musk has always been this way, regardless of what former boosters like Kara Swisher want you to believe. They were just happy to ignore it for access while journalists like Lopez did the work.

Excellent conversation on the #TeamHuman #podcast between @Rushkoff and @molly0xfff - two voices of clarity on tech, tech solutionism and "web3" (and much more). Worth a listen! teamhuman.fm/episodes/232-moll… #tech #web3 #techpolicy



Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

4 years using and championing the #fediverse full time and I've never written a #introductions toot. Well, or I have and can't find it.

I'm a #blind guy from 🇬🇧 with a passion for #technology and #programming, particularly #lowLevel #systemsProgramming in #C, #C++, #Rust, etc.

I've been a huge #freeSoftware / #openSource advocate for the majority of my life. I run #Linux and I love open, #decentralised technologies like #ActivityPub, #Matrix, #bitTorrent etc.

In my view, technology is built to make our lives easier, and in many ways, it isn't these days. It is truly my opinion that the only way #tech can be sustainable is if it's built using #FOSS, and does not give ultimate control to any 1 entity, individual or corporate. If technology is to help the people, it must be built *for* the people.

Currently working on odilia.app, various projects with the rest of the Lower Elements gang at lowerelements.club, and a Computing Science BSC at the #University of #stirling





I'm going to #boost this a bit, to at least broaden its reach. Likes/favorites don't play into an algorithm here (thank goodness) and don't help visibility, and not all servers are federated (and some federated feeds are firehoses anyway).

@bookstodon, if you're tired of having to throw out still perfectly working #tech that suffers #PlannedObsolescence only because the closed-system software bricks them, check out this #petition.

Same to artists everywhere, @Curator.

🤔 ICYMI from April, a good (long-form!) essay about how #addiction to #tech (in general, but also #smartphones and #socialMedia in particular) is affecting human #attention spans in a negative way.

💡 Raises an interesting idea about it causing or reinforcing cultural "learned helplessness" that crosses over into many other areas of modern tech-facilitated life. (Something @lightweight has long discussed.)

🔖 Take a read this weekend and tell us what you think?

I'd like to find a community of other people in #tech, maybe people who are interested in talking about things like #cloud alternatives, #cryptography, or #softwaredev processes (like #agile, I guess), #programming. I haven't found too much of that on here. Point me at the good discussions and knowledge sharing, if you know where it is!

Look, software isn't everything, and I'm sure I'll get into some other stuff on here, but the above is what I haven't found yet.

Excuse the mess. Configuring new hardware. Soon to be hosting pixelfed.nz & mastodon.nz 😁

I'm a software developer in the AEC industry, typically working to automate engineering workflows in CAD software (revit etc.). I studied Mathematics, so naturally I love functional programming (and luckily get to use F# for most of my work!).

In my free time I enjoy walking, photography, custom keyboards, and any other hobbies my ADHD brain latches onto.

My #introduction:

I did two years of engineering school and two years of journalism. I'm a geek who loves to tell a story.

I make #comics, #illustrations & #paintings. I do a lot of #memoir work, kids books (#kidlit), and speculative #fantasy.

I've spent about 15 years in the world of #infosec (thank you, day job!) and I do a lot of writing and podcasting in this field. I'm not an expert but I am a nerd for #tech and #privacy.

Links are all in my profile if you want to learn more. I'm not gonna spam you.

This is not my first time on Mastodon but I'm trying to consolidate a bunch of my older profiles right here.
