It's really been a privilege leading this project towards this amazing milestone, and helping a piece of software I've loved for over a decade take a significant step towards broadening and modernising itself.

Aucune image ne pourra mieux résumer l’invisibilisation du travail sous le capitalisme : on remplace des ouvriers qui prenaient des risques physiques par des gens qui n’ont strictement aucune probabilité de perdre quoi que ce soit et dont on ne sait pas au juste ce qu’ils produisent

Several years ago, we put a whole bunch of data from a project into Wikidata. Now, as a result, some people who we had no more info for aside from a name or could not disambiguate are actually identifiable. LOD FTW.

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

This thread does a better job of capturing why the cloud isn’t merely “renting a bunch of servers” than anything else I’ve seen recently.
📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).
