Just a reminder to folks that I'm going to be talking with @freebliss tomorrow, July 31st at 1300 Eastern UTC-4.

This certainly isn't because I'm doing my show notes atm and doing research, but Simon's stuff is fantastic and I can't wait to show it off. Not just Simon's #developer #projects, but also Simon's #art.

Very excited to talk to Simon tomorrow! Everyone make sure to let me know any questions you have for Simon and/or stop by the Livestream! Catch the VOD or Fedicast afterwards!

Destroying Autocracy – July 24, 2025

Welcome to this week’s “Destroying Autocracy”.

It’s your source for curated news affecting democracy in the cyber arena with a focus on protecting it. That necessitates an opinionated Butlerian jihad against big tech as well as evangelizing for open-source and the Fediverse. Since big media’s journalism wing is flailing and failing in its core duty to democracy, this is also a collection of alternative reporting on the eternal battle between autocracy and democracy. We also cover the cybersecurity world. You can’t be free without safety and privacy.

DA comes out on Thursday and is updated through the end of day on Friday. Then we start over. So take your time in perusing it and check back in over the weekend.

FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And will often involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck ’em.

TechDirt writes:

Over the last year or so I’ve seen a disturbing tendency in tech/startup/VC worlds to buy into the neoreactionary view that for startups to be successful they need to get on board the Trump train.

Yes, there are the big name folks who everyone knows about and who didn’t really surprise anyone—Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, David Sacks, Elon Musk (pre-fallout)—but the more troubling trend has been watching younger entrepreneurs and VCs listen to their podcasts, read their posts and books, and slowly nod along to the idea that democracy is holding back innovation.

Good day all! I'm very excited for tomorrow's show with @thisismissem . Just a FYI, there's a chance it might not happen, and that's ok. We go with the flow and we reschedule when needed. Just send Emelia your best vibes and we'll play it by ear. :-)

Emelia works on Moderation and Trust & Safety tooling for the Fediverse. She is a contributor to #Mastodon & other projects. You've probably used code she's written. Worked on the Fedi in 2018.
