"De-anonymising data is surprisingly easy: if you know Tony Blair’s date of birth (a matter of public record) and the two dates during his term in office in which he was treated for a heart condition (ditto), you can pick him out of any “anonymised” pool of NHS data in seconds, and then discover all those facts about his health that aren’t a matter of public record... Dr Ben Goldacre and his team at Oxford created OpenSAFELY, a “Trusted Research Environment” that allows researchers to write programs that analyse NHS data in situ. These programs would be dispatched to run against the data held by NHS trusts, and then the system would return the results to the researchers without ever letting them handle the data – which never left the trusts’ own servers." https://goodlawproject.org/cory-doctorow-health-data-it-isnt-just-palantir-or-bust/ #dataProtection #research #NHS #privacy PS #Palantir, ... is literally named after an evil, all-seeing magic talisman employed by the principal villain of Lord of the Rings (“Sauron, are we the baddies?”)

the problem with celebrating girl bosses is at the end of the day you are celebrating bosses. society oriented around hierarchy is not feminist because it requires inequality. let's think about this! the problem with patriarchy is not that some humans are born with dicks. the problem is structuring society around the unequal distribution of power. placing women within that architecture doesn't level it. but re-orienting around lateral movement building & collective organizing can! imo!

Anyone skeptical about the power of #unions and what they can do for workers (and remember; if you don't own the means of production, you are a worker) should check out Iceland with its 92.2% participation. Today three large unions, that collectively have around 1/5th of the nation as members, agreed to terms with industry representatives and the government for all kinds of workers benefits for the next four years. Unions work, as long as people join them. https://www.ruv.is/frettir/innlent/2024-03-07-langtimasamningur-til-fjogurra-ara-undirritadur-406805

You're allowed to post on your blog once every decade, and you don't even need to apologize for it. That's also part of having your own space. Personal sites aren't a competition, and productivity doesn't have to be a metric. (note to self)

China: “Remove all VPNs” Apple: “Sure thing” China: “…and podcast apps” Apple: “Can do boss!” China: “…and also hand over all iCloud data for our citizens” Apple: “I mean why wouldn’t we? Here you go!” EU: “Allow alternate app stores, and do it fairly” Apple: “Ahhh hell no! This is so unfair you guys are bullies! Malware! Privacy! We have standards! Unlike you we care about our users!”
