My favorite terrible outcome of the browser wars is the BLINK tag, which Netscape introduced as a nonstandard HTML extension in a bid to tempt web authors to optimize their sites for Netscape instead of Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

1/
The tag lingered long after the browser wars ended. I went through a period around 2013 where I used it (and its many variations, like the "marquee" argument a lot). Eventually (and not coincidentally, I believe), Firefox nuked it.

So I was delighted to wake up this morning and discover that @edent is making good use of quarantine time to commission a lenticular BLINK tag sticker from a Chinese manufacturer.

A Dutch court has sided with a woman who sued her mother to force her to remove pictures of her grandchildren from social media, finding that the images violated the #GDPR.

bbc.com/news/technolog…

1/
The mum said that she had repeatedly asked the grandmother to remove the pictures. The court found that the "purely personal" exception to the GDPR does not apply when large commercial platforms like Facebook and Pintrest are involved.

2/
If the grandmother doesn't remove the photos, she'll be fined €50/day to a max of €1000. If she posts more images in the future, these, too, will incur €50/day fines.

The problem with the gig economy isn't that it makes it easy for workers, customers and businesses to find each other: it's that the platforms are parasitic grifts who ruin everyone, lose money, and get flogged off to suckers during the IPO.

There's a better way: "platform co-operativism," in which workers clone the apps - a trivial task - and then turn them into nonpredatory, worker-owned businesses that support the real economy instead of annihilating it to enrich Saudi oil families.

The biggest co-op success story is Spain's Mondragon Co-Op. They've teamed up with NYU's New School (which has a major platform co-op project) and the Institute for the Cooperative Digital Economy to offer courses in platform co-op entrepreneurship.
