Bogomil Shopov - Бого
Human. Artist. Hacker.
I care about free and open-source software(F/LOSS), cybersecurity, ethical design, privacy, and technology. 20+ experience in technology. 40+ in being human. I encourage people to become better humans with heavy metal and technologies. I also promote technologies to be considerate of humans. Let's see how it goes!
N.B " Бого" Is in Bulgarian, and it's read as Bogo.
Hacker. Artist. Human.
Session
Engineering is more than just coding and testing. It's also about sharing your knowledge with others. Most engineering leaders I follow use services that do not respect customer privacy. As an engineering FOSS community, we are responsible for showing everyone the way and helping them build their online presence using the tools and approaches that respect the values behind our movement.
I'll lead you through a journey of discovering tools, platforms, and ways of sharing your knowledge and content and positioning yourself as a leader in a way that focuses on privacy first.
Problems we currently face:
- Too much tracking: The platforms serve cookies, embed trackers, and identify us with device fingerprints.
- They are all centralized - we depend on one authority.
- Shady algorithms - your content is used differently based on who reads it.
- Ads, ads, ads - your content is used to generate revenue for somebody else.
Is there a way to fix that?
