The Mercer family appears in #EpsteinFiles client lists. The patriarch, Robert Mercer, is known for contributions to computer science and algorithmic trading at Renaissance Tech. His family bankrolled Citizens United, Steve Bannon, Milo, Cambridge Analytica, Trump’s first campaign, and countless other arch-conservative organizations. https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01398965.pdf

Why would any country, business, or organization want to engage with the USA if we practice teenage hacker grade IT now as national policy?

The Cambridge Analytica scandal taught us that where on earth your data “lives” really matters. That same notion is ultimately what animated the Supreme Court TikTok decision today.

‘“I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done.” The manifesto mentions UnitedHealthcare by name, noting the size of the company and how much money it makes, and also broadly condemns health-care companies for placing profits over care, the official said.’

Recently, I had the occasion to stare at this collection of Roman emperor coins at the Glyptotek in Copenhagen for quite a while. There’s beer money. And then there’s beer money.

I went to Denmark this week and showed folks how Musk was using Snapchat microtargeted ads on Gaza to divide and deter in battleground states via 404 coverage and they were horrified while I also reassured them that the GDPR is a shield from this kind of toxic data abuse. It’s like building climate crisis resilience infrastructure.

I really miss the real twitter of the past right now, that fleeting moment when we had a trusted central network. But I also acknowledge that we had to build new more resilient networks resistant to hostile takeover even if the tradeoff was fragmentation. But that tradeoff was so costly to us all and we can’t forget it.

these were deep qualitative interviews/not quantitative analysis; it was accepted into the most competitive/prestigious tech conference on the planet; perhaps read the paper prior to posting critiques?

New research paper on the experiences of serving as Mastodon admins to be presented at ACM SIGCHI conference next month, based on 16 admin interviews (including me) #MastoAdmin #fedi #CHI https://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:9e9ea5d1-f02b-4f65-8f83-9a72e9e46213

For the first time in my experience, Bluesky went down. Everyone is still on one big ass server and so the benefits of decentralization are yet to be felt.

Someone should start a DNA data co-op and buy 23andme as a way to protect the vulnerable genetic corpus up for sale to the highest bidder.

NGL: Worried Netanyahu attacks Iran’s oil facilities at least partly in an attempt to surge energy prices as the “October surprise” to swing the US election to his preferred candidate.

Mozilla’s #Mastodon instance only had 270 active users even though backed by a big budget with an admin drawing a generous six figure salary (based on the original job description I noticed). The Mammoth app will fall back on Mastohost, which is what my instance runs on.

Judy Woodruff on PBS #DNC commentary says Trump is actively working Netanyahu against Blinken’s efforts to cease fire to keep the victory out of Biden/Harris’s hands (just like killing Lankford’s border deal). Fucked up.
