Draws on Ivan Illich’s concept of ‘convivial tools’ that enhance human creativity rather than capture it.https://klamathtech.diy/links/ai-real-problems/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/ai-real-problems/A running index of documented real-world harms from AI systems — not speculation about future risks, but concrete cases of bias, discrimination, misinformation, environmental damage, labor exploitation, and rights violations happening now. A useful counter to the hype cycle.https://klamathtech.diy/links/care-principles/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/care-principles/The CARE Principles — Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics — are a governance framework developed by Indigenous data scholars to center Indigenous peoples in all decisions about their data. A complement and counterweight to the FAIR data principles that dominate academic and government data practice.https://klamathtech.diy/links/databack-recognize-reclaim/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/databack-recognize-reclaim/An introduction to the #DataBack movement — what it means for Indigenous communities to reclaim authority over data about their lands, cultures, and peoples. Situates data sovereignty within the broader LandBack and CashBack frameworks and explains why control of data is inseparable from political and cultural self-determination.https://klamathtech.diy/links/eff-age-verification/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/eff-age-verification/The EFF’s ongoing coverage and analysis of age verification legislation — tracking bills across states and Congress, explaining the surveillance and free speech implications, and documenting legal challenges. A reliable reference for understanding the landscape of these laws and the harms they cause.https://klamathtech.diy/links/have-i-been-flocked/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/have-i-been-flocked/Search whether your license plate has been captured in Flock Safety’s automated license plate reader (ALPR) database — over 208 million documented searches.

Practical guides, standards, and community resources.https://klamathtech.diy/links/never-again-tech/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/never-again-tech/A public pledge by technology workers to refuse to build databases of people by race, religion, or national origin; refuse to build tools for mass surveillance; and resist government use of their skills to target people for discriminatory programs. Thousands of signatories from companies including Google, Microsoft, and Amazon.https://klamathtech.diy/links/road-to-techno-colonialism/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/road-to-techno-colonialism/Traces how tech corporations replicate the patterns of colonial extraction — entering new markets, crowding out local alternatives, creating dependency, and extracting value back to distant centers — while framing this as development and connectivity. Useful grounding for understanding why digital infrastructure is never politically neutral.https://klamathtech.diy/links/feminist-server/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/feminist-server/What would it mean to build digital infrastructure that embodies feminist values — not just in content policy but in governance, ownership, and who the infrastructure serves? Examines feminist server collectives as an alternative model to corporate platforms and explores what accountable, community-governed technology looks like in practice.https://klamathtech.diy/links/age-verification-attribution-of-speech/Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000contact@klamathtech.diy (ҜŁΔΜΔŦĦ Ŧ€ĆĦ ĆØŁŁ€ĆŦƗV€)https://klamathtech.diy/links/age-verification-attribution-of-speech/Age verification laws ostensibly protect children but actually build identity attribution infrastructure — systems that automatically link digital accounts to real identities. Once in place, that infrastructure will be turned toward political speech and dissent. The child safety framing is the door; surveillance is what walks through it.
