Open post Kenneth Johnsen @kejster@mastodon.world · 5mo ago Replying to @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @tante@tldr.nettime.org I am slowly moving towards saying digital autonomy instead. Which is more applicable than sovereignty, as that term is more geared towards states/governments, whereas autonomy applies to people, groups, companies and authorities. @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @tante@tldr.nettime.org Same here. Autonomy is a much better term.
Open post Kenneth Johnsen @kejster@mastodon.world · 8mo ago Replying to @petealexharris@mastodon.scot I think the appearance of free software really broke the oligarch's brains. People are just giving away stuff that should be Shareholder Value? And we *can't* buy it off them and own it? People are just running a compiler whenever they like to make whatever they want without paying anyone? The push to adopt LLM-powered code generation tools is so frenzied and desperate partly because it's a perceived solution to claw back ownership of the means of production into the Right Hands. @petealexharris@mastodon.scot I sometimes wonder when they will convince governments that software will be “unsafe” unless it’s made with certain programming languages, cloud IDEs, and only running in certified clouds.

Open post Kenneth Johnsen @kejster@mastodon.world · 8mo ago Replying to @HailsandAles@metalhead.club You don’t get a medal for leaving Twitter in 2026. Just leave quietly and hope no one notices you were there. @HailsandAles@metalhead.club Why be on social media at all? Some of the comments to this post looks just as toxic as the stuff on twitter.
