If you get an email from a big company saying you're a match for a job, and then asks you to log in using Facebook, you're staring down the barrel of a scam. pickr.com.au/news/2025/scammer #howto #news #online #internetsecurity #mcafee #phishing #scams

My recent #bike #race #digitalization experience:

Except if you have no mobile #internet, times are not published at all...

I had to bother the organizers to know if I qualified past the first round. That didn't go smoothly. I guess the extra effort for the analogues might be still a worthwhile tradeoff, considering how terminally #online humanity is now.

TECC :archlinux:

#Online headlines focus more on clicks than clear information, #study shows. Researchers say #digitalnews is changing, with headlines written to grab attention instead of just informing readers. 🤨

📝„Over the past 20 years, online news headlines have become longer, more negative, and increasingly focused on click-through rates—regardless of journalistic quality. This is the conclusion reached by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, who analyzed around 40 million headlines from English-language news outlets across the last two decades. Their study has been published in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications."

I’m really happy to have been asked to join the new FediForum Advisory Board that is helping to guide and steer the future of the event.

We are proud to announce the first-ever FediForum advisory board. We are very glad to have such an incredible group of committed and experienced Open Social Web pioneers and advocates come together to advise FediForum and help move the Open Social Web forward.

FediForum has been an important part of the development of the Fediverse over the past couple of years. It has provided a space for projects to share their latest releases and features, and also enabled the serendipitous sharing of needs and ideas. The Projects page on the FediForum site documents a few of the collaborations that have come out of the event already.

I particularly remember how Ben Pate came to share what he was building (Emissary), how several creators in the music space came together during the same event to discuss their hopes for new social channels to connect with their audiences, and how that evolved into both Bandwagon, and The Indie Beat FM. I’ve loved being a part of these kinds of conversations!

An unconference can be difficult to navigate to some people, but it can also enable exactly these kinds of unexpected, delightful fusions of shared interest and technical know-how. At the same time, there’s also a lot of value in more organised, formal events with agendas known in advance. My own belief is that there’s space for both formats to support the Fediverse community, and I hope to see these happen in the coming years. In the meantime, you’ll see some adjustments to the format of FediForum itself, in response to feedback heard at recent town halls.

I’ve helped to run various unconference format events in person in the past; I’m also a public speaker; and, I have been a community organiser myself. I know how complicated it can be to make events like FediForum happen! I’m grateful to have the opportunity to help keep this important shared space open, available, and valuable for the future. I’m also delighted about the wonderful group of people that are on the advisory board – we have a shared passion for the Fediverse, and more importantly, we care about the humans that are part of it.

Looking forward to seeing folks again at FediForum, June 5-7.
