Last night in my stupor I revisted the idea that the owners of myspace live with themselves having lost some petabytes of consumer data from the genesis of web 2.0 and my god, that's praxis.

"An archaeology of #knowledgegraphs and their mutation from the liberatory aspirations of the #semanticweb gives us an underexplored lens to understand contemporary #informationsystems. I explore how the ideology of cloud systems steers 2 NIH & NSF projects intended to build info #infrastructures for the #publicgood to inevitable corporate capture, facilitating the development of a new kind of multilayered public/private #surveillance system."

Interested in socio-tech. issues, including #ethics #privacy, tech #policy

Hi everyone! I’m not good at talking about myself, but I’ve been here long enough that I should post my #introduction. So, I’m Kiran, I’m 24, and I live in #Melbourne, #Australia, on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. I have wanted to join the Fediverse for ages but got stuck at the ‘join a public server vs host your own’ question (I’ve known about this server for a few years, but I’ve never plunged in until now).

I’m interested in #computers and #technology, but I’ve never dedicated myself enough to spin up a server or anything. I did software dev in high school, but I struggled in that environment, so instead I’m pursuing #accounting, and I’m currently studying it at uni, along with #InformationSystems. In the meantime, I dabble in teaching myself #coding every now and again.

I’m #ActuallyAutistic and have #ADHD (fun combo), so I have a decent set of strong passions loosely held, but when asked about them I forget half and am reluctant to share the others, because if you don’t actively engage those passions, do they really exist? I may or may not also have self-esteem issues. Regardless, I’m hoping to find a community to share my interests with, but I might still be a bit nervous joining in here or there, so if you catch me lurking, it’s not malicious.

I’d finish by posting my #Melway collection (I have a copy of every issue ever released!) but alas, I don’t have a photo handy. I’ll get one and stick it up soon.
