"What have I learnt?" asks Niklaus #Wirth.
"#Programs must not be regarded as #code for #computers, but as #literature for #humans"
I hope that one day people will really understand and embrace Wirth's legacy.
We will have a better cybernetic world then.

Nice series on #Oberon
I really like Fexl ( https://github.com/chkoreff/Fexl ) but I'm not sure it's quite what I want. Not quite data-friendly enough? It's doing very good things with syntax though - I love the ; for list pivot. Very very useful - it makes all the difference between "parenthesis spaghetti" and "actually readable code". PicoLisp can do something similar.
PicoLisp, Retro Forth, Fexl, Dialog, and maybe Red seem like a handful of languages that "get" the idea of radical simplicity. But there's room for more.

The audience award of this year's #BigBrotherAwards goes to … #Doctolib for their appointment scheduling portal for medical doctors which leaks personal information to third parties, breaking patient–doctor confidentiality.
Full laudation: https://bigbrotherawards.de/en/2021/health-doctolib
It is closely followed by #Google who received the award in the new #WhatMakesMeReallyAngry category for recently exposed large-scale manipulations of the Internet #adtech market, for starving creators and the media, and for dispossessing our digital personalities.

“The appropriate technology movement is attributed to E.F. Schumacher, a German-British economist … During the 1970s, he became widely known for his heterodox economic ideas that lambasted the mainstream emphasis on profit over human needs. In his best-known, 1973 book, Small is Beautiful: A Study of Economics as if People Mattered”
His book was titled WHAT? 🥰
Must read it. So sad to learn he died the year after I was born.
Just discovered #AdAway (VPN mode).
Strongly advised.

Trump usava il ministero della giustizia per spiare su parlamentari rivali (e si sono fatti consegnare dati da Apple)
Nixon, al confronto, era un chierichetto.

Cos'è successo con l'app #Io di #PagoPA?
Il #GarantePrivacy dispone “in via d’urgenza” il blocco provvisorio di alcune funzioni dell’app in quanto alcuni dati degli utenti vengono trasferiti al di fuori dell’Unione europea (India, Australia e USA)

The science denial industry has deep roots - tobacco-cancer denial, lead paint/gas denial and other ancestral forms of commercial denial gave birth to modern forms of denial: anti-vax, anti-mask, "stop the steal" and, of course, climate denial.

The denial industry has a well-developed and constantly evolving playbook.

(By genre I mean musical kind... like pop I guess... did I say I'm out of touch with modern music?)
I'm old, boring and out of touch with contemporary music but my daughters are going crazy for a young French singer, #ErzaMuqoli: can anybody suggest me similar artists (in genre and age) so that I can help them to expand their playlist (they do not and will not use #Spotify as their father hates surveillance capitalism and prefer human suggestion systems, aka friends and #fediverse).
Any language is welcome (English included) but I'd prefer to expose them to less mainstream (aka non-US) perspectives.
Any suggestion?
