I find myself on position 6 of the #euinfluencer ranking for #mastodon and position 20 in the overall list. What I most cherish is to read and re-send well written content of others. Make no mistake: The micropolitics of posting on social media is only a very small part of my engagement for […]

The precedent the spineless leaders of #tech #meta #Alphabet #apple #microsoft set for America is terrible: They signal, wrongly, that even the most powerful must submit to authoritarian, antidemocratic #trump. This opportunism is unnecessary, damages business' credibility as good citizen and […]

OK I just can't, my ears are bleeding. The #gatekeeper has successfully filibustered me out of the (virtual) room with their marketing blah blah.
