You know who has written about how our concentrated tech monocultures create fragile systems that predictably collapse at large scales? Yup, that's right, it's @mariafarrell and I (stuck in Seattle), that's who. noemamag.com/we-need-to-rew…

Five years ago when the Chrome team announced the Privacy Sandbox, I called a "delaying tactic." Not getting rid of cookies as the first step was never going to work. Today they announced that they won't be deprecating third-party cookies. That's five years wasted. tweets.berjon.com/1164583701973483525

I looked at the question of how to make the internet public interest technology. It took me through transnational infrastructure, standards, governance, industrial policy, and a cast of thinkers & next-gen projects. It's complicated, but I have hope! berjon.com/public-interes…

Starting next month I will be living in Brussels, Belgium! 🇧🇪 If you're there, know good people who are, want to meet when you're visiting, hit me up! My exact arrival is still unspecified, but will be "in August". I'm excited to see folks there and for what we can accomplish!

Excited to see Noēma publishing this from @mariafarrell and I (with a much bigger contribution from Maria). The internet, and us with it, suffers under extraction & monoculture. We can revitalise it by applying lessons from conservation ecology. noemamag.com/we-need-to-rew…
