• Read: New UK tech regulator to limit power of Google and Facebook

  • The framing of this is all wrong. It's all about innovation, competition, consumer choice, growth. It should be about [[liberation]], [[user freedom]], [[agency]] and [[sustainability]]. Just sounds like it'll be a weak opt-in 'code' that even if followed just moves the deckchairs around while the ship is sinking.

• Came across [[Felt]]. Worker-owned coop building "free and open source tools for building customizable self-governing communities". Do wonder it could be better/more quickly achieved by using/contributing to existing software.

  • It's a customizable open source software platform, a community and business, a co-op of worker-owners, and hopefully one day a platform co-op (communities owning themselves? absurd) — all with a purpose that puts people first. If we do it right, Felt is tech that feels good.

• Playing some more with [[getting knowledge maps in to my weeknotes]]. This time, running org-roam-graph in the weeknotes file. I like this as a quick starter - it shows me the images based on what I've noted and linked, and serves as a good visual aid - these work well for me. It I wanted to spruce it up after the fact, I could.

  • Slight problem at the mo being that org-roam's file-level graphing doesn't exclude the nodes in your exclude matcher. I started a thread to ask about that. [[Problem with org-roam's file-level graphing]].
