@hacks4pancakes "Life After Elon" now on the History Channel

Sad news from UNC Chapel Hill Computer Science — Fred P. Brooks, the founder and long-time chair of the department (and a major influence on my professional outlook) passed away a few hours ago.

I think the fundamental problem with Twitter going forward now is that there's no way I can visualize where user trust, brand trust, and advertiser trust could be fully restored. There will always be that nagging fear that Elon will get up on the wrong side of the bed any day and do something bizarre that damages the Twitter ecosystem. Platform trust once lost is very difficult to regain even with sensible management.

Russia is suddenly realizing that they depend completely on Western technologies.

You also notice it as more people set up automatic cross-posting from Twitter to here. Wow, the tone mismatch! You wouldn't expect it to be so stark.

#GDPR today berichtet:
"Nach Angaben der norwegischen Polizei überwacht die #Hayya-App den Standort der Nutzer. Die #Ehteraz-App kann unterdessen dazu verwendet werden, persönliche Informationen von den Mobiltelefonen der Nutzer abzurufen. Trotzdem sagte die norwegische Datenschutzbehörde, sie könne nicht genau feststellen, was diese Apps tatsächlich tun oder wofür die persönlichen Daten der Nutzer möglicherweise verwendet werden." #Katar #Fifa2022
