Thanks to Platinum Sponsors Google and Facebook, Shoshana Zuboff (who helped popularise the term surveillance capitalism) is launching her new book, ‘The Age of Surveillance Capitalism’ in Europe this evening at the Data Protection and Democracy conference in Brussels.

Dear Shoshana, can you name two of the largest surveillance capitalists in the world so we know who to protect ourselves from?

He leído algo sensacional.
La historia de un misionero cristiano que va apredicar el evangelio con una tribu amazónica, pero descubre que a los indígenas les resultan absurdas las ideas religiosas y cuestionan su fé. Al final el evangelizador se convierte en ateo.

Al despertar encuentro un alacrán en la cama, aunque jamás he tenido cama. Sin embargo, en plena noche tomo las llaves del auto y salgo a caminar por calles bañadas de sol. Cruzo las paredes del ágora, para sentarme en una silla sin patas. El viejo ciego y cojo me mira. Allá, la candidata presidencial indígena desprecia las elecciones y al estado. Me asombra la guerrilla pacifista, que destierra a su gente y les amenaza de muerte, mientras el progresismo busca justificaciones. Río de melancolía.

A nice talk about #fdroid , some awesome apps and a bit of advertising for #gdroid in the end. Entirely from the perspective of a user, not a developer. Thanks to the speaker @3rik

I was going to announce it a bit later and more properly, but Mastodon received a $70k grant from Samsung NEXT through OpenCollective. I intend to make it available to those who contribute to the project, and have already notified some of the most regular contributors. The way OpenCollective works is that anyone can submit an expense and all transactions are listed transparently. It also holds the money.

As for myself, I intend to continue using Patreon for my own wage/costs.
