James G ☛ Tools for the next decade of the web
I want to build software that empowers people and doesn’t make them feel pressured. I want to build software that solves specific problems. I want to use software that fits in this category, too.
I also want to use software that helps embrace community. I have been delighted by how many interesting conversations I have had with bloggers. I wonder how I can best find new bloggers to follow? I don’t know the answer to this question – blogrolls, webrings, etc. being useful, but only part of the puzzle in my mind.

Mozilla ☛ Raising the bar: Why differential privacy is at the core of Anonym’s approach [Ed: Another totally absurd PR stunt from Mozilla, which violates privacy, says "we believe that differential privacy offers improved privacy to users while allowing analysis on ad performance". Mozilla is basically committing suicide.]
Continuing our series on Anonym’s technology, this post focuses on Anonym’s use of differential privacy. Differential privacy is a cornerstone of Anonym’s approach to building confidential and effective data solutions. In this post, we’ll explain why we integrate differential privacy (DP) into all our systems and share how we tailor our implementation to meet the unique demands of advertising use cases.

LibreOffice is a privacy-oriented office suite that runs on your own computer and doesn’t include Hey Hi (AI) features out-of-the-box. But we know that many users are interested in combining Hey Hi (AI) tools with the suite, so we talked to John Balis who is working on a (fully optional!) LibreOffice extension called localwriter.
