💾 We often think of online platforms like YouTube and Flickr as permanent homes for our photos and videos. They're not.

On the Future Knowledge #podcast special series #VanishingCulture, Luca Messarra explains why relying on commercial platforms puts both our personal and shared cultural memory at risk.

In deference to US Independence Day, I was thinking about books with a counterfactual historical take – speculative history. I wrote about it.

Hi Fedifriends,

I am writing to you to ask for a favor.

I'm lining up some guests to have conversations with on Vibe Coded #Podcast who bring an invigorating perspective on fedi, big tech, online/offline social movements, etc.

Who would you recommend I reach out to? My own list is growing but I'm sure there are other people I absolutely should connect with. ☺️

TIA ✌️

I’ve shared a piece of fiction writing meta content and the rôle of LLMs in my writing workflow, in particular, a punch list to track idea instantiation. I don’t, however, discuss my fondness for diacritical marks, especially those with no phonetic function.

One more followup. Something many of you know already but in case some of you don't: #DuaLipa founded possibly the most potent #podcast for #books currently in the #literature #literary world. Partly because of her reach as a #popIcon but also because, as many #authors she has interviewed say, she delivers thoughtful deep dives. Dua Lipa is really admirable

Dovrei citare ogni episodio, ogni singola parola, congiunzioni comprese, perchè credo di non avere mai trovato qualcosa che non condivido in questo podcast capolavoro!

Grazie Walter, davvero!
Quando ti ascolto, mi sento un po' meno solo 🤗

"Come in questo caso, l'illecita raccolta di fotogrammi dai video di sicurezza, l'illecito c'è a prescindere.

Detto questo, facciamo un altro passo: non è che siccome c'è la videosorveglianza il primo pirla che passa se la guarda e raccoglie le figurine. Esiste un elenco di persone, ed è molto ristretto, che hanno la possibilità, in casi molto particolari, di accedere ai video di sorveglianza.

E nei posti governati da gente con un cervello, la procedura richiede sempre almeno due persone: tipicamente, un tecnico e un manager, per riesaminare i video. Quindi OK i tramvieri laidi, ma chi gli ha dato accesso ai video ha fatto ancora di peggio, perché gli incaricati della gestione dei video di sicurezza hanno gli stessi obblighi di riservatezza e confidenzialità degli amministratori di sistema, e infatti sono spesso le stesse persone.

Io direi che, oltre ai laidi, deve saltare pure la testa di qualcuno nell'area tecnica e qualche manager.

Certo, in Italia perfino gli amministratori di sistema delle banche si mettono a ficcare il naso nei conti correnti della gente, figuriamoci in un'azienda di trasporti pubblici.

Ma non è un problema. Le leggi esistono, si prende questa gente, si predono i loro superiori che hanno l'obbligo di sorveglianza, si prende la gente che ha fatto gli audit e garantito la compliance, si prendono quelli che hanno approvato un sistema di videosorveglianza dove gli accessi ai video non vengono loggati, o se vengono loggati non vengono auditati e li si accompagna tutti, gentilmente, alla porta.

A CALCI IN CULO.

Perché mi sono anche rotto il cazzo di questa privacy di carta dove per fare una foto della festa di Natale ufficio ci sono moduli in triplo originale, e poi il primo coglione con la password di amministratore fa il cazzo che gli pare."
