Pierwsze zdanie: LinkedIn is emerging as a place for regular people to share about their lives—and not just professionally.

Hot tech topics of 2023: Our team looked into the biggest digital stories this year (so far) — from AI and VR to social media.

Of particular note is the growing interest in the #Fediverse and platforms like Mastodon. It's heartening to see decentralized social media getting more attention. This isn't about hype; it's about the value of decentralized, community-driven social platforms as alternatives to walled gardens. Thoughts?

The platform #X shouldn’t do #SaudiArabia’s dirty work

Saudi Arabia this summer sentenced a man to death based solely on his #SocialMedia activity — including his tweets & retweets on #Twitter, now known as X. #MuhammadalGhamdi, a retired schoolteacher, had only 10 followers, but the regime used his harmless posts as evidence against him. Worse, there’s reason to worry that the #platform has made the job of #repression even easier.

Then you're incompetent, #TikTok. Watch your substrings. There are 118 contexts on AllAcronyms.com alone for “#WGA," including “Windows Genuine Activation" and “Western Governors' Association.” If you're going to ban a term, make the string DISTINCT.

It's not like you have much goodwill left to burn.

Without #SocialMedia, past and present, I wouldn't have met some pretty decent musicians.
I'm grateful for this.

That said... neither would I have worked on some things I'm not overly proud of, gratuitously fallen out with people or have numerous conversations endlessly hanging on my last post, mail or message...
...because, I assume, people don't yet 'want' something.
I'm not grateful for this.

#SocialMedia #Twitter #Musk: "In one of his most entertaining and revealing bits of original reporting, Isaacson fills in the backstory behind a series of technical glitches that plagued Twitter in late 2022 and early 2023, and it does not disappoint.

Steamrolling past Twitter employees’ warnings, Musk insisted on immediately moving thousands of the company’s computer servers from a Sacramento data center to another facility to save money. When they balked, insisting it would take months to do safely, Musk dragooned a carful of friends and family into canceling their Christmas plans to drive to Sacramento, where he personally disconnected one of the servers with the help of a security guard’s pocket knife. He then called in a team of employees to start loading the rest onto a semi truck and some moving vans.

On many occasions over the years, Musk has horrified deputies with these sorts of stunts, only to be vindicated when they pay off handsomely. But in this case it turned out the employees, whom he had threatened to fire for their timidity, had been right. The move caused cascading glitches in Twitter’s software, including the ones that afflicted a highly anticipated live audio event with presidential candidate Ron DeSantis the following May."
