AI business plans make so many people feel like failures… because the LLM they are using were trained on the extractive corporate systems they are actively trying to escape!
You can’t build a new future with old maps x

I don’t want to depress you all but the entire media and political class will have moved on from this latest Trump racist outburst by tomorrow, Monday at the very latest. He gets away with it every time - because he is allowed to get away with it, and because he floods the zone.
Watching “Becoming” on a Friday night… that incredible surge of hope, decency, excitement and unity in the White House feels like several lifetimes ago… #michelleobama #becoming
"Social media brings out the worst of humanity and the worst of humanity is the existential threat." - Aza Raskin
We didn't learn from the "move fast & break things" social media experiment. Now we're repeating it with AI.

I get that! I didn't have that experience with Google but am sure that lock in is on its way - they all aim to lock us into their ecosystems so no laws or unethical behaviour can tempt leaving. Right now, I'm straddling both kSuite & Google Calendar because there was no viable alternative... yet...
I set up an account a few days ago - it’s got promise, looks great but not enough diverse voices there yet but it’s early days yet!
I've switched to Infomaniak kSuite - mail, calendar, meetings, docs, drive & transfers all in the one for less than Workspace. Biggest struggle for me so far is calendar - integrations for CalDAV are patchy so things that were simple in Google Calendar (like scheduler integration) are a struggle...
Hullo hullo! I joined a good while ago but then forgot to check back in 🙄
There I was thinking email would be the hardest part of migrating away from Google Workspace... its the freakin' calendar that is giving me all the headaches! Battling with CalDav issues is no fun... #caldav #ethicaltech #leavinggoogle

It’s such an alien concept to me after a life of striving to reach a finishing line that keeps moving further away and the compounding disappointment of that.
It feels really exciting too…
Is there anything as beautiful as nature? There is only one natural source of light in my office - this little Velux window. It is something bemoan most of the year because the room is so dark but on bright frosty days - it is a perfect viewing station for natures creative expression.

So you’re saying there’s a pattern…
In the 1960’s psychologist Howard Becker found that people labelled as ‘criminal’ after their first crime were far more likely to commit a crime again. This doesn’t bode well for a society obsessed with labelling both ourselves and others. #labelling #criminality #society
