@dajbelshaw I just read your weeknote, really cool that you are working on these very small and minimalist websites!

Are you already familiar with https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/about.html? You might like their philosophy :)

I'm really looking forward to tonight's Campus Talks about Cyber Security :)

Live at 19:30 CEST:

Also, I'm looking for a suitable PeerTube instance to publish my contributions to Campus Talks, a column on data visualisation called 'Show me the Data!'. Feel free to send suggestions :)

"I believe we should focus on how to live with nature, rather than determining where nature lives. And that’s where spatial planning can play a role."

Today - news: Cisco researchers find security leaks in smart airfrier, allowing remote code execution.

Oh yes, Cisco told the manufacturer, Cosori, about the leaks on december 21st. But it isn't fixed, so they now made the details public. Happy hacking 😅!

A new open access publication by Carissa Véliz: Moral zombies: why algorithms are not moral agents.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00146-021-01189-x

"When algorithms cause moral havoc, as they often do, we must look to the human beings who designed, programmed, commissioned, implemented, and were supposed to supervise them to assign the appropriate blame. For all their complexity and flair, algorithms are nothing but tools, and moral agents are fully responsible for the tools they create and use."

This climate ad project is great!

NGOs urge EU legislators to ban unlawful tracking in online advertising. Great idea to mitigate #socialcooling!

“This is a terrific opportunity to install privacy by default in the online world. (...) We have the opportunity to create an internet that better serves users by stopping built in data harvesting and tracing methods. It’s important that the European Parliament realises it can stand up for people, and not defend the interests of the big tech platforms.”
