Interesting new overview "What we in the open world are messing up in trying to compete with big tech" from Bert Hubert: berthub.eu/articles/posts… Hmmm, not sure about this part: "Your post-quantum crypto library does not need to be available as a service or have an attractive UI."

New Sunday Times profile in which I succeed, like a fencer in a 2hr marathon match, in fending off Qs abt my personal life & consistently turning focus back to my work & ideas. Contra the interviewer's claim, many ppl do know me! They're called friends, & you know who you are ❤️…

The Online Safety Act ransoms your privacy for free speech! By age gating vaguely defined ‘harmful’ content, UK users face censorship. It coerces people into coughing up their ID to unregulated age verification providers or scammers. Write to your MP ⬇️ action.openrightsgroup.org/tell-your-mp-o…

@b_arbaretier Agreed, and more in general, browser-based sandboxing will play a major role in future agent-based computer use. webvm.io is a great example, but we are working on other things as well. 🙂 (I'm the lead dev of WebVM and CTO of Leaning Technologies)
