Start considering moving your communities out of Discord now. Don’t wait for the enshittiffication to arrive, the clock is ticking. No one will listen to me, but let’s talk again later. https://www.reuters.com/business/chat-platform-discord-confidentially-file-us-ipo-bloomberg-news-reports-2026-01-06/

Commerzbank (one of the largest German banks) just banned GrapheneOS:

There is literally zero reason why banking apps shouldn't work on GrapheneOS, and yet so many European financial institutions prefer to rely on the security assurances of megacorporations controlled by a foreign country.

At least I hope that the current geopolitical madness will contribute to stopping this plague.

Given the choice between publicly shaming bad behaviour vs. preempting bad behaviour with a laundry list of expectations, I generally prefer the former. (n.b. This is not about Codes of Conduct.)

That said, Cory Doctorow's "good questions" guidelines in this talk are both spot-on and concise :)

1. A good question has one part, not two
2. A good question is not more of a comment than a question
3. A good question is (almost without exception) not about AI
