Agree, we shouldn’t exist in carefully curated echo chambers.

Yet, every one of us must be intentional in an attention economy that rewards and monetizes clicks over substance.

The GD POTUS and his regime are in the midst of a media autocratic takeover.

We must #OptOut, including the TN Holler.

"Opt" and "out" are two words so hard to put together.

#github #ai #optout

Note for those that use Ebay that don't like submitting all your data to AI there is a relatively new user setting that you have to turn off. I don't know when it was added, but it does default to allowing them to use your data for AI purposes and you must opt-out if you don't agree. #AI #optout

„unless you opt out“ - genau so sieht es die DSGVO eben ausdrücklich NICHT vor.

100% about alternatives. We can't do it as individual "ethical consumption" strategies. I started the Opt Out blog and Tech Reclaimer to work together on public and community driven or respecting alternatives to reconstruct the public sphere, pivoting from the consumer mindset. #optout #reclaimtech

The choice you make applies to publicly funded care in England only.

It is a FAKE #optout!

Opt-out should be for #PRIVATE #COMPANIES, not state!

easier attendee participation: Adrian Segar caramelizes crème brûlée at a private dinner in Spain

How can we design for easier attendee participation? By modeling participation, creating a safe event environment, and making participation optional.

If Vampires are real, we are all screwed.

Since we live in a society that presumes it is okay to show up unsolicited and be annoying unless one opts out, vampires and other creatures of the night can presume they're invited... Thus rendering one powerless against them.

Digital Resistance Tip #1: One system at a time! @cyberlyra explains how starting small by doing one thing at time will make your opt out efforts more successful.

@profgalloway.com More of us have tb willing to get uncomfortable & ratchet up the economic pressure/🎯 the Market. #OptOut of the pervasive tech that is now being used against us; jump to less harmful, exploitative alternatives…together! Srsly, be less reliant on our smart phones/devices.

@actblueorg.bsky.social do you know how many of us you alienate by constant bombardment of messages appealing for campaign donations? That is friends and family zone only. AHow can we #optout to save our sanity?

The We have more power than we think. This regime is being propped up by big tech & corporations. Start with ones who give $ to ICE. Divest. Dump. Unsubscribe. Disengage. Boycott. Delete. #Optout. We cannot allow this to be our/our kids future. Their system does not work if we do not participate!

The Most Radical Act of Resistance in a Authoritarian Technocracy is Non Participation‼️ Big Tech & Corps propping this regime only respond to the market. Divest. Dump. Unsubscribe. Delete. #OptOut. Doesn’t have to be 4ever, just long enough for them to cry mercy. It is the shortest path to change.

👏🏻 great news - unreal we are even having these conversations (blatant “f” and “r” ism). Must find ways to reach ppl we don’t agree with - so tough 🥵. We are the same, but different fears. We (🇺🇸) don’t have to be great, we have to DO GOOD‼️

Srsly - Scott is proposing what I have been telling ppl for over a year (via the #OptOut movement). I’m glad someone with a platform can spread that message tho - I was unable to.
