I had first vision for this after reading some chapters of "Permanent Record".

I wrote a post about us, the Internet people. All of our hacky piratey DIY fixing and code snippet *borrowing*. I'm an ex muso and I think a lot of us from that early gen x generation did the tech pivot from the mid 90s on so we all built the Internet, it's ours. The Fediverse is so much a part of that alt culture, and so much a part of where at least some of the Internet future is headed.

That's my #introduction, folks. Let's discuss stuff over a pint!
Tolik moje intro. Pivko? 🍻

Statische Web-Seiten, sind die gut oder doof und warum und weshalb sind die optimal für Vereine so wie Klein- & Mitelunternehmen? Es geht doch, so oder so, alles schon immer wie heute im Fratzenbuch, TikTok & Co. oder nicht? All die Promis sind ja auch dort erfolgreich und nicht hier im Fediverse! 🥸

I installed #Orbot by @torproject roughly two weeks ago on my phone to help people circumvent #censorship. In that short time I already helped almost 400 people reach the #internet. You can learn how it works and how to help (it's a click of a button) here: https://snowflake.torproject.org/

I've been planning to do this for a long time: Happy to support you on #Patreon now, @Mastodon ! The #internet is so much better with you in it. 🐘 🤗 💚

One often overlooked benefit of municipal broadband is keeping local dollars close to home and using the extra $$ to make community investments

Check out what Westfield MA is doing thanks to the success of its municipal telecom utility Whip City Fiber

The "profits" the network has made are now being used to build new track and athletic fields for the entire community. Click link below for our story

🆕 blog! “Virgin Media preparing to offer symmetrical upload speeds?”

Virgin Media - a UK-based fibre-optic ISP - recently sent me a survey about their potential product offerings. It was desperate to know if I wanted bundled streaming video (no), or Sky Sports (LOL no), or any other digital subscriptions (no, go away), or a landline (what, is this the 19…

@mozilla has just published a new short film about me, about CAT Lab, and our work on community science to improve our digital environments <3

I'm honored to receive the #Rise25 award from Mozilla and thrilled about the message it sends about the importance of everyone's everyday expertise for the future of the #internet

There will be #hunger and #war. We'll likely lose all of the #Internet and its #knowledge. Millions will die in the upcoming decades.

So far, our #politicians decided to carry on instead of doing the things #science found out to mitigate most of the impact. Choose your #vote deliberately! We were the last generation that had the chance of saving this #planet. 🌍

#introduction

We’ve been around for over 30 years but we’re new (Nov 2022) to Mastodon! 👋

A bit about the Internet Society:
1️⃣ We work to grow and strengthen the Internet while empowering people to take action.
2️⃣ We think the Internet should be open, globally connected, secure, and trustworthy—and we must defend it to keep it this way.
3️⃣ We believe that the Internet is for everyone

Never wrote & pinned an intro. So: I'm a prof at CUNY's Newmark #Journalism School, where I helped start programs in #Entrepreneurial & #Engagement Journalism & News Innovation & Leadership; working on a next in #Internet Leadership. Books coming out: THE GUTENBERG PARENTHESIS and OBJECT LESSONS: MAGAZINE from Bloomsbury next year. Soon to announce THE INTERNET WE DESERVE. Past: WHAT WOULD GOOGLE DO, PUBLIC PARTS, GEEKS BEARING GIFTS. Founded Entertainment Weekly, RIP. Cohost This Week in Google

I ordered a #refurbished #laptop with #windows 10 pre-installed.

What do you recommend?

With the #internet as the reference, I do not expect any major #linux install issues with the model ordered.

Oh? What's that? You'd like a #keynote announcement before you #register for #EverythingOpen?! Of course!

We're delighted to announce Geoff Huston AM as our first #keynote #speaker for #EverythingOpen.

Geoff is a luminary in #internet and #networking circles, and has guided the creation of #standards and #interoperability in this space.

In his keynote he will chronicle the unexpected ways the #internet has evolved - and what that means for practitioners.
