by
Today we’re going to look at some of the ideas found in The Promise of Access by Daniel Greene.

The Global North’s Erroneous Infatuation with it’s Superiority
by
The Global North has many erroneous views, but one that’s been sticking with me lately is it’s superiority view of business models. We have the false view that we are the leaders in all fields all the time and that anything not invented in the Global North, often limited entirely to the US, is not…

Techno-bros Want Us to Trust This Idea
by
I first grabbed Read Write Own from my local library because the subtitle sounded interesting. I’m ready for a new era on the internet, the current one of companies controlling everything and extracting the maximum they can from people sucks and I’m tired of it.

That letter saying Substack should leave Nazis alone was started by Substack Founder Hamish Mackenzie
by
I thought I was done talking about Substack and Nazis, but nope. It seems the letter that asked Substack to prefer free speech over moderation was started by the Substack founder Hamish Mackenzie. So Mackenzie started the letter, then hides behind it as a reason not to moderate Nazi hate speech. It would seem that…

Personal Knowledge Graphs
by
This is a fairly academic look at taking notes and what a personal knowledge graph is. The format of the book is a series of essays, that at times are helpful, but also spend entire chapters on defunct operating systems like Haiku. Yes Haiku runs still, but you’re never going to use it so telling…
