My morning flight got cancelled and I got moved to a flight that arrives after HWC ends. š
I get in to SF Wednesday late afternoon so it's possible I will be there!

I hate the "own your data" meme in the decentralized social web. A friend of mine pointed out how useless the phrase is a few years ago and I agree. "Ownership" sounds an awful lot like digital "property", which is nonsense when moving from physical to digital stuff because copying doesn't destroy the original. The path you go down there is the path to artificial constraints like DRM. Yikes!
We should be talking about user autonomy instead. That's a much better meme.
Interesting, but destroying the original or having only one copy isn't really relevant to me, so I fail to see the argument here. I use it as a shorthand for keeping your data in a place you control, while being able to move it elsewhere if you choose. It's just a nice shorthand. If you have a suggestion for a better three-word phrase I'm all ears but "user autonomy" sounds like robots. -

Geeking out about the decentralized web as well as various indieweb concepts. Gonna try making a tiny profile website for myself to try implementing stuff like Webmentions for cross-website social interactions. aaronparecki.com/2018/06/3ā¦
