“Music streaming platforms are in a unique position within the greater platform economy: they have troves of data related to our emotional states, moods, & feelings. It’s a matter of unprecedented access to our interior lives, which is buffered by the flimsy illusion of privacy.”
Spotify knows its most valuable asset to multinational corporations: its troves of data about our emotions. My latest for @thebafflermag

Consumers don't always want to buy new -- millions just want to fix their stuff and keep it working. #righttorepair needs to be an integral part of the future of e-waste.
The e-waste stream is expected to turn into a torrent as the world upgrades to 5G bit.ly/2QfAuqa?utm_source=tw…

#righttorepair is a litmus test of ownership. If you can't fix it -- something is wrong with your rights.

More than 160 million new laptops are made every year, causing the same amount of greenhouse gas pollution as the entire airline industry. Don’t buy new, buy better.

Congratulations to Katie Bouman to whom we owe the first photograph of a black hole ever. Not seeing her name circulate nearly enough in the press.
Amazing work. And here’s to more women in science (getting their credit and being remembered in history) 💥🔥☄️

Remember:
1. The oceans are being killed.
2. Forests will soon be gone.
3. Fertile soil is disappearing.
4. Megafauna risk extermination.
5. Insects are vanishing.
6. Climate chaos is inevitable.
7. Extinction is now.
8. Plastic is in our blood.
None of this is front page news.

If you're not building in controls for this (as far as I know, nobody is), you should reconsider shipping any home device until you have them.
My wife works in a womens shelter. Disabling IoT is a checklist item they give women fleeing abusive relationships- because they are increasingly used to harrase and abuse at a distance (surveillance, messing with lights, temperature etc.). @internetofshit

Zero waste is impossible without #righttorepair. Circular economy efforts are equally impossible without widespread access to repair.
We need #righttorepair in order to get to #zerowaste , amIright @RepairCoalition and @nProctor ? And thank you to Rep. Claire Cronin and @Brady_Works for being the chief sponsors.

The same OEMS that make devices to spy on you in order to sell your data are also fighting against #righttorepair all while claiming they care about your security, Balderdash.

Wow. #Denmark is using the power of the ocean as a renewable source of electricity. Wave power.
We have solutions to the #climate crisis. We're just missing the political will to implement them.

I asked a recycler about the latest gizmos at #CES2019. He said, “Everything I look at brings up the question "well how the hell are we going to recycle this crap now.”

Batterygate forced Apple to admit that the battery inside your smartphone is a consumable, not the iPhone itself. And now, Apple is forced to make another admission—their profit-first business model isn't impervious to inevitabilities of repair.
