It goes without saying that London is not “under Sharia law.” However, the statement itself is (also obviously) a xenophobic dog whistle in the first place. To their credit, BBC did a good piece picking this apart www.bbc.com/news/article... and putting it in context.

Apropos of nothing....

I'm still not particularly happy about passkeys and figured I might want to share my thoughts on why. lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/9/2/pas...

Images from our day trip to Deal in Kent. It’s on the high speed line from London. Spooky castles, visibility to France, the ocean, lovely food, nice people, sustainable energy (massive wind farm on the horizon, not pictured), anti-fascist graffiti… what’s not to like? ⛱️

I’ve been verified as an adult on BlueSky, based on a selfie pic. Not sure how I feel about this.

We need a European Sovereign Tech Fund github.blog/open-source/... "Open source software is critical infrastructure, but it’s underfunded. With a new feasibility study, GitHub’s developer policy team is building a coalition of policymakers and industry to close the maintenance funding gap."

We're looking for talented individuals to join our team as we accelerate our exciting work on the Solid project. We want a proactive and organised Community Manager to support and expand a global open-source community focused on decentralised web technologies. buff.ly/ezQrYNT

Well. I'm glad to have this cleared up. bbc.com/news/article... RIP Ozzy. 🤘

Increasingly feel like #BBCVerify is the most important thing that BBC is doing right now. www.bbc.com/news/live/c3...

Elon Musk does not get a redemption arc. He's done.

Acknowledging, but not celebrating US Independence Day today. It's so unfortunate that my country of origin has been hijacked by fascists. I will mark today with donations to @aclu.org, @ppfa.org and @trevorproject.bsky.social.

In Geneva for the “Global Digital Collaboration” conference on digital wallets and identities.

While on OOO, looks like I was nominated to be the new co-chair of the W3C TAG. Excited (& a little stunned) to be stepping into the role @torgo.com is leaving behind! ☺️🫡 github.com/w3ctag/meeti...

Today, I'm starting my term in the W3C Advisory Board. www.torgo.com/blog/2025/06..., and I have also officially stepped down from TAG.

Found absolutely the right pin to wear to this conference on fostering “wallets, credentials and trusted infrastructure for the benefit of all humans”. globaldigitalcollaboration.org #gc25

Made it to Denver for Open Source Summit. Denver airport passport control was super chill and quick. Direct flight was definitely the way to go. Also turns out Denver Airport has very convenient airport rail.

A quick reminder about the history. www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

No to war.

On my way to Denver for @linuxfoundation Open Source Summit and @openssf community day.

'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?' Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

Wikipedia wanted to use AI summaries at the top of article pages. Editors said please please don't www.404media.co/wikipedia-pa...

This is theater. It’s so irrelevant and absurd for BBC to be reporting on this crap on their front page when people are dying and being unlawfully abducted and thrown into gulags because of the actions of these evil men.

This means that for free speech to exist, you need a thriving media. You need pluralism in search and social algorithms. You need the means to protect yourself from those who would speak over you and drive you out of public view.

The Trump / Musk breakup is so boring and was so predictable. They are both terrible people who are responsible for enormous harm, and both deserve to rot in prison. Can we fast forward to that bit?

I'm pleased to report that I’ve been elected to the W3C Advisory Board! As a result, I’ll be stepping down from co-chairing the TAG after 12 years. Grateful for the journey; now on to helping shape the future of W3C governance and strategy – for all web denizens. www.torgo.com/blog/2025/06...

What I want from BlueSky: a setting to auto hide any post that contains an AI generated image or video.

Ukraine attacks bombers. Russia attacks playgrounds.

Customer service that is obviously generated by ChatGPT needs to die in a fire.

We have some news to share with you. 🥄 Today we took legal action to challenge our termination, filing an appeal with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. We did this because we believe the elimination of 18F violated safeguards that exist to protect a nonpartisan civil service.

Good morning, London. ☕️
