A while ago, someone got really angry at me for calling BS on a claim that satellites cause ozone depletion. Crazy, right? But it led me down a rabbit hole, which I’ll summarize here. This should probably be a YouTube video, but I don’t do those, so I hope you’ll…

Viime viikolla kirjoitin aiheesta suvereeni sosiaalinen media. Ajattelin tänään käydä kollektiivisesti läpi Blueskyssä, fedissä ja LinkedInissä saamiani kommentteja. Saateteksteissä saatoin hieman suhaista ampiaispesiä, minkä vuoksi reaktiot eri alustoilla olivat jokseenkin ennustettavissa. Ennen kuin reagoit tähän — lue myös edellinen. “Ikkuna meni jo kiinni, kaikki siirtyi [tänne/sinne]” Riippumatta siitä, minkä katsoo [tänne]…

Viime viikkoina jo vuoden odottamani suomalaisten some-toimijoiden muutto ulos entisestä Twitteristä on viimein alkanut. Hämmästyksekseni muutto kuitenkin on suuntautunut kohti palvelua, jolla: ei ole kykyä eikä nähtävissä olevaa halua moderoida suomenkielistä keskustelua tai ilmeisesti erityisemmin halua moderoida keskustelua lainkaan mistä puuttuu keskeisiä sosiaaliselta medialta vuonna 2023 odotettuja ominaisuuksia (kuten vaikkapa…

Have you heard of passkeys yet? Probably you haven’t — they haven’t been around for very long. But if you care about authentication, security, or are in any way involved with identifying users for an app or website, perhaps you should. To make it very short, Passkeys are a new…

I’ve written here before (part 1: build-out, part-2: 10x upgrade) about the network I’ve built and manage for a 40-apartment building here in Helsinki. This week I embarked on a configuration upgrade I probably should have implemented ages ago, but which only now got priority. …

Again, something I originally posted as a thread on my experimental self-hosted fedi server last week, but that’s in a bit of a state right now, so I wanted to put this where it could be found easier. Since I originally wrote this, a couple of additional items have come…

This is a copy of a thread I posted on Mastodon. For background, a rage thread is developing around the rumored launch by Meta of an app that is said to be interoperable with Mastodon, and a bunch of its current users aren’t happy of the prospect. Today, fedi has…

I’m kind of preoccupied today by the current events in Ukraine, but I figured to write down my thoughts on last night’s (my time) WWDC announcements anyway. Starting with the “one more thing”, of course. Vision Pro The first of first impressions posts have come out, and the people who have got…

I recently saw some new thinking from Alex Osterwalder, who’s best known for introducing the Business Model Canvas in his book Business Model Generation. In this presentation he argues that on the uncertain new development side of what he calls the Explore-Exploint continuum, OKR (objectives and key results) is not…
