L’Union européenne s’apprête à modifier la protection de notre vie privée en ligne en adoptant un nouveau règlement ePrivacy.
Le 26 octobre 2017, la Parlement européen a arrêté un premier texte.
I understand this reaction, but it’s also an unfair one: Deleting Facebook is privilege. The company has become so good at the many things it does that for lots of people, leaving the service would be a self-harming act. And they deserve better from it, too. Which is why the initial answer to Facebook’s failings shouldn’t be to flee Facebook. We need to demand a better Facebook.
Unlike broadcast television and radio, which are also free for the price of having to endure ads, on Facebook you can’t change the channel. If you leave Facebook—which is where your friends, scene, and community already is—you’re alone, because for many people, Facebook is becoming the internet and the internet is becoming Facebook.
Facebook, for all its problems, has become a necessary part of life for people, one that they can’t afford to shed, personally or professionally.
And in countries with lower internet adoption, Facebook is often people’s foray onto the whole internet. Facebook’s Free Basics program is operating in 63 countries and municipalities across Africa, Asia, and Latin America—and with that, people get free access to Facebook and a small handful of websites that partner with Facebook, though they can’t access other sites or email. For those users, Facebook is, in a sense, the whole internet.
Some high-income countries have lowered their guard and their immunization rates have dropped. In certain countries, confidence in vaccines has begun to fall.
In fact, France is the country with the lowest vaccine confidence level, according to the project The Vaccine Confidence 2016, carried out by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine for which 65,819 people were interviewed in 67 countries. 40% of French respondents (vs. an average of 12% worldwide) responded that they disagreed or strongly disagreed with the following statement: “Vaccines are safe”.

A demolition firm accidentally tore down the wrong house – before blaming an incorrect address listing on Google Maps.
Just a few hours after the 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti in January 2010, a group of collaborators from the OpenStreetMap community began collecting all sorts of topographical data about the country – roads, towns, hospitals, government buildings. Within forty-eight hours high-resolution satellite imagery taken after the earthquake became available, and within a month over 600 people had added information to OpenStreetMap of Haiti.
This online map quickly became the default basemap for a wide variety of responders – search and rescue teams, the United Nations, the World Bank, and humanitarian mapping organizations such as MapAction.

Since the beginning of 2017, Android phones have been collecting the addresses of nearby cellular towers—even when location services are disabled—and sending that data back to Google. The result is that Google, the unit of Alphabet behind Android, has access to data about individuals’ locations and their movements that go far beyond a reasonable consumer expectation of privacy.
The section of Google’s privacy policy that covers location sharing says the company will collect location information from devices that use its services, but does not indicate whether it will collect data from Android devices when location services are disabled
Google plans to implant a « Google Campus » in Kreuzberg, Berlin. We, as a decentralized network of people are committed to not letting our beloved city be taken over by these tax-evading criminals who are building a dystopian future.
Google is trying to open a 2500m² “campus” in Kreuzberg to attract, detect and buy profitable companies and ideas.
Sold as a “community” project, in reality it aims at attracting “entrepreneurs” who will increase Google’s profit.
This project will turn the neighborhood into a large-scale laboratory for the deployment of their new invasive technologies.
Instead of a nice friendly “campus” we see a Google farm for harvesting Kreuzberg’s brains and talents, or a Google mine in which ideas and data will be extracted out of Berlin.
« Si c’est gratuit, c’est vous le produit ! » En lançant le premier forfait de téléphonie mobile entièrement financé par la publicité, l’opérateur français Prixtel adapte un modèle économique bien installé et sans cesse en progression dans le paysage du Web : un modèle qui, au premier abord, semble gratuit.
« Si vous êtes le produit, alors ce n’est pas gratuit car l’utilisation du service n’est pas sans contrepartie : vous acceptez l’utilisation de vos données personnelles, vous acceptez des contrats d’utilisation léonins qui font de vous une main-d’oeuvre sans droit ni titre, vous acceptez d’être pisté, tracé, traqué pour que le client final, généralement une régie publicitaire, sache tout de vous pour mieux vous cibler…
Le réseau social est à nouveau montré du doigt après la découverte de l’utilisation de données personnelles de plusieurs millions d’utilisateurs, par une entreprise d’analyse liée à la campagne présidentielle de Donald Trump.
L’affaire Cambridge Analytica tourne autour d’une application, nommée « thisisyourdigitallife » (littéralement « cestvotrevienumérique ») et accessible via le réseau social, jusqu’à sa suppression en 2015.
Derrière cette façade, présentée comme « une application de recherche utilisée par les psychologues », un système bien plus complexe. Non seulement les 270 000 personnes ayant utilisé l’application ont fourni des informations volontairement sur eux-mêmes, mais ils en ont aussi fourni d’autres de manière bien moins consciente (l’application avait accès aux contenus qu’ils avaient « aimé » sur le réseau social ou à leur ville actuelle).
Pire, ils ont aussi permis à l’application d’accéder aux données des contacts de ces personnes sur Facebook. Un effet boule de neige qui rend difficile d’évaluer l’ampleur de cette collecte : entre 30 millions (pour le New York Times) et 50 millions (selon le Guardian) de personnes. Des données récupérées par une première société (SCL) puis une seconde (Cambridge Analytica).
Password management should be simple and follow Unix philosophy. With pass, each password lives inside of a gpg encrypted file whose filename is the title of the website or resource that requires the password. These encrypted files may be organized into meaningful folder hierarchies, copied from computer to computer, and, in general, manipulated using standard command line file management utilities.
pass makes managing these individual password files extremely easy. All passwords live in ~/.password-store, and pass provides some nice commands for adding, editing, generating, and retrieving passwords. It is a very short and simple shell script. It’s capable of temporarily putting passwords on your clipboard and tracking password changes using git.
The command-line option –gen-key is used to create a new primary keypair.
Seguimos pensando, además, que el único ingreso legítimo puede venir del empleo. Pero ya hoy, un 20% de la sociedad vive de renta. Y otro 20% vive de servicios sociales, incluidos los niños, con sus necesidades. Los empleos que se crearán mayoritariamente no se corresponderán con la modalidad del contrato a tiempo completo y de por vida, el equivalente a la familia tradicional de papá y mamá con dos niños como dos soles. No estoy diciendo que no se genere ninguno. Tal vez en el futuro el 40% del mercado laboral corresponda a esa tipología, pero ya no será el modelo. Me encantaría que nuestros políticos hicieran una reflexión más allá, que dijeran: “Vamos a garantizar ingresos para todo el mundo y además, reconoceremos la contribución de cada ciudadano a la sociedad”.
Existen ya hoy universidades que conceden créditos a estudiantes que mejoran los contenidos de Wikipedia en el aspecto médico. Porque la mayoría de la gente, antes de ir al médico, consulta Wikipedia sobre numerosas dolencias. Así que el valor para la comunidad médica de que los contenidos de lo que la gente encuentre allí sean de calidad es muy elevado. ¿Por qué no se podría retribuir a los ciudadanos que ayudan a mejorar nuestras infraestructuras ciudadanas? Los poderes públicos tienen, si quieren, capacidad de anticipación. Pueden apoyar a los ciudadanos ayudándolos a tener infraestructuras civiles. Un año de Wikipedia cuesta 40 millones de euros. Salvar a los bancos, mucho más que 40.000 millones. Financiaríamos un montón de wikipedias. Las infraestructuras ciudadanas son más baratas que las estaciones inútiles de trenes de alta velocidad.
Ya conocemos los límites del producto interior bruto (PIB). Acompañamos a nuestra madre a alguna parte, y el PIB aguanta plano. Pero contratas a alguien para que lo haga, y el PIB sube. ¿Qué estamos midiendo? Pueden ponerse en marcha líneas nuevas mientras existen las viejas.
Empecemos a escribir una nueva constitución. Una constitución de nueva generación. Hay nuevos derechos fundamentales que no están recogidos: la propiedad de los datos, el derecho a la producción de energía, el derecho a la privacidad, el derecho a conocer cómo están programados los algoritmos que determinan la propia vida.
¿Hasta qué punto la tecnología ayuda a transformar una ciudad?
Si en una ciudad inventamos un proceso y lo documentamos en un vídeo, éste puede servir para otros lugares. Igual puede ayudar a ahorrar la inversión de diez días de formación. Es una ventaja. El tiempo de la tecnología puede acortarse. En cambio, el tiempo social no te lo ahorra nadie. El tiempo para la transformación de una plaza o de un barrio es un tiempo social, tarda lo que se tarde en hacer esa mayonesa. Exige acción local.

Let’s be clear up front about something: Just being on GitHub in a public repo does not make your code open source. Copyright in nearly all countries attaches automatically when a work is fixed in a medium, without need for any action by the author. For any code that has not been licensed by the author, it is only the author who can exercise the rights associated with copyright ownership. Unlicensed code—no matter how publicly accessible—is a ticking time bomb for anyone who is unwise enough to use it.
Unlicensed code is unsafe code, period.
When you write open source code, you know that it not only has to work, it has to work in situations you never dreamed of and may not have planned for. Maybe you only had one very narrow use case for your code and invoked it in exactly the same way every time.
The true heart of open source isn’t the code at all: it’s the community.
announce that you’re thinking of creating a new project. Talk about your design goals and how you plan to achieve them. Request input, listen to similar (but maybe not identical) use cases, and build that information into your process as you write code.
This process doesn’t end with the initial announcement. If you want your project to be adopted and used by other people, you need to develop it that way too. This isn’t a barrier to entry; it’s just a pattern to use.
Open source work sharpens your skills in ways you never realized were dull—from writing cleaner, more maintainable code to learning how to communicate well and work as a team.
Hacer los moldes con PLA es posible y la cosa resiste pero … es muy probable que tengamos que destrozar el molde para sacar el jabón. Lo cual hace que no sea un gran invento.
Por suerte existe PLA elástico. Aún no lo he probado (tengo encargado un rollo de PLA elástico que aún no me ha llegado).

The Open Data Inventory (ODIN) assesses the coverage and openness of official statistics to help identify gaps, promote open data policies, improve access, and encourage dialogue between national statistical offices (NSOs) and data users. ODIN 2017 includes 180 countries, including most all OECD countries. Two-year comparisons are for all countries with two years of data between 2015-2017. Scores can be compared across topics and countries.
The Open Data Institute works with companies and governments to build an open, trustworthy data ecosystem, where people can make better decisions using data and manage its harmful impacts.
Our toolbox is a collection of free tools that help with data publishing. Many of them work together to create an integrated ecosystem for open data.
ParticipateDB is a collaborative catalogue that tracks the tools and services that make up this exciting and fast emerging digital engagement spaces. Project examples provide insights into the many ways these technologies are being applied in practice. And the resource section collects third-party information for additional context, from product white papers to academic case studies and more.
Nothing to Hide (Oct. 2016), by Marc Meillassoux and Mihaela Gladovic, questions the growing, puzzling and passive public acceptance of massive corporate and governmental incursions into individual and group privacy and rights through the « I have nothing to hide » argument.
Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software?
We want legislation requiring that publicly financed software developed for the public sector be made publicly available under a Free and Open Source Software licence. If it is public money, it should be public code as well.
Code paid by the people should be available to the people!
a plausible urban future based on cities acting as important sites for ‘data extractivism’ – the conversion of data harvested from individuals into artificial intelligence technologies, allowing companies such as Alphabet, Google’s parent company, to act as providers of sophisticated and comprehensive services. The cities themselves, the project insisted, would get a share of revenue from the data.
…the Telegram API allows you to work with their data only. In other words, it’s impossible to store your data on a separate server or a database. The API will let you create an app that interacts with the Telegram messaging app, but this app won’t be able to live a life of its own.
A simple plugin that will add a “subtitle” field to any WordPress menu.
If a list has a custom field for a GPG Public Key set then subscribers can upload their GPG public key to receive encrypted messages from the list.
En lo rural se puede vivir bien porque la cercanía entre las personas, aunque trae algunas incomodidades y control sobre la gente, permite una corriente de solidaridad, ayuda mutua y compañía; Un hacer las cosas conjuntamente que, si es bien encauzada, permite un trabajo comunitario que posibilita un desarrollo participativo e ilusionante, en el que todas las personas en pie de igualdad puedan crecer y desarrollarse.
Las personas jóvenes necesitan de espacios propios que puedan servirles de escuela de autogestión, en toda la extensión de la palabra, desde su ocio, a su vida, su profesión y su desarrollo personal, con derecho a acceder en el medio en el que viven a las tecnologías y los recursos sociales y culturales en la misma medida que otros jóvenes de la ciudad.
La Oficina [Open Data Barcelona], que es parte del Plan de Transformación Digital del Ayuntamiento que dirige la Comisionada de Tecnología e Innovación Digital, Francesca Bria, pretende el gobierno público de los datos en un trabajo en tres líneas: captación y almacenamiento, analítica y predicción, y comunicación y difusión. Es decir, el organismo captará información por sus propios medios y sensores pero también los pedirá a compañías que operan en el entorno urbano (telefónicas, energéticas y otras), los analizará y empleará para hacer con mejor tino sus políticas y los podrá a disposición de la ciudadanía, la universidad o quien los requiera.
Una oficina para « remunicipalizar la información » y convertir los datos en lo que son, un bien común.
[Sidewalk Labs] …el modelo urbanístico de Google no está tan lejos del de Blackstone (recuerdo: uno de los grandes imperios inmobiliarios del mundo) pero suma a éste la apropiación de la información, su gestión y su uso. Es decir, ya no sólo se trata de privatizar el espacio público, sino los datos que se generan en él (y en los espacios privados de cada familia y empresa que habite el barrio).
Some models have overhanging parts, which means that parts of the model float mid-air when you would print the model. In this case, you must print a support structure under the model to prevent the plastic from falling down. This can be achieved by enabling generate support.
Nacida del trabajo de entidades, medios de comunicación y colectivos integrantes de la coalición Defender a quien Defiende, es también una herramienta de visibilización y análisis de las vulneraciones de los derechos humanos cometidas por cuerpos policiales y agentes de seguridad privada en el Estado español, especialmente en contextos de protesta social (derechos de reunión y manifestación prioritariamente).
…a mechanism that installs updates automatically so you don’t have to worry about it. Obviously, this is meant for personal servers operated by hobbyists where convenience is more important than availability. In a professional environment, you would test new packages first because seemingly innocent changes may break complex applications.
Kodi (formerly known as XBMC) is an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub.
It allows users to play and view most videos, music, podcasts, and other digital media files from local and network storage media and the internet.
Founded in 2014, OSMC lets you play back media from your local network, attached storage and the Internet. OSMC is the leading media center in terms of feature set and community and is based on the Kodi project.
OSMC is a Kodi centric distribution.
The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project is a data-visualization, data analysis, and storytelling collective documenting the dispossession of San Francisco Bay Area residents upon gentrifying landscapes.
D’Ignazio says this issue is compounded by the fact that women and people of color are underrepresented in data science and technical fields in general, a trend that is worsening. She also highlights skewed quantity and quality of data that is collected about various groups of people. For instance, there are very detailed datasets on gross domestic product and prostate function, but very poor datasets on hate crimes and the composition breast milk.
Darme cuenta que lo que me regalan las grandes coorporaciones no es tanto como les gusta hacernos creer, bajo su eslogan de gratis. Sacan mucho mas de mis datos que yo de sus servicios.
Acomodar mis practicas a mi discurso. Porque la soberanía tecnologica como los feminsismos no se basan solo en teorias si no NUESTRAS PRACTICAS.
Dejar de acumular servicios, como una depredarora capitalista. Y usar solo los que cuido y pago.
Repasar lo aprendido y usar la red optimizando recursos y no a lo capitalista ( consumista, acumuladora) solo porque es gratis.
Amazon Go, the « human-free » grocery store from Amazon.com, watches your every move with hundreds of cameras and sensors. And ties everything to an account with your smart phone and credit card. This is absolutely terrifying on multiple levels. Let me walk you through why and the related services that make this abomination possible.
