Podcasts about aral balkan

From the moment his father handed him an IBM PC with the simplest of instructions - "Play with it, don't be afraid" - Aral Balkan's worldview was forever changed. Our chat with this developer, professional speaker, consultant, and serial entrepreneur takes us on an enlightening journey through his life, shaped by his early immersion in technology's limitless potential. Aral's deep-seated passion for programming, his dedicated commitment to simplicity, and his advocacy for the internet as a tool for personal empowerment and democratized communication are nothing less than inspiring.Aral reflects on the evolution of the internet, once perceived as a decentralized entity, now understood as a client-server system molded partly by venture capitalists who recognized its potential. He emphasizes the need for coding education, applauding initiatives like Code Club and the involvement of Google, Raspberry Pi, and Coder Dojo in promoting coding. But our conversation doesn't stop there. Aral urges us to confront the systemic inequality in the digital space and the pressing need for simple articulation of the problem to spur action. He introduces us to the concept of small web and the empowering idea of owning and controlling one's own means of communication.Our dialogue extends to the importance of alternative funding methods for initiatives that serve society. Aral shares his views on the limitations of relying on political institutions for funding and the absolute necessity for communication tools to be accessible to all. We tackle the issue of arrogance in the open source community and its impact on software usability, and discuss 'kitten', a framework and server for building small websites, with its innovative security measures and potential as a learning tool. Join us for this essential conversation for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, empowerment, and democracy.

Fredrik har milda Jiraproblem efter semestern. Kristoffer har behörighet att ha sönder saker, men inte att laga dem. Båda faller djupare ner i tangentbordshobbyn. Fredrik vänjer sig vid sitt nya Piantor. Kristoffer diskuterar montering, lödning, konfigurationslösningar, dåliga kablar och den nya dramatiska tangentbordlayout han jobbar på under lediga stunder när ingen försöker välta hans kaffekopp eller gräva upp blommorna. Det är en jakt på en layout som inte bara är bra, utan som också känns bra. Sist men inte minst diskuterar vi Bram Moolenaars bortgång. Bram var drivande och tongivande bakom Vim, och samtidigt en person vi knappt varit medvetna om eftersom han hållit en så låg profil och inte haft stor konflikter med andra. En förebild, känns det som. Sist men inte minst: Kodsnack finns nu på Mastodon, på en egen instans. Ett stort tack till Cloudnet som sponsrar vår VPS! Har du kommentarer, frågor eller tips? Vi är @kodsnack, @thieta, @krig, och @bjoreman på Mastodon, har en sida på Facebook och epostas på info@kodsnack.se om du vill skriva längre. Vi läser allt som skickas.

Aral Balkan is co-founder of Small Technology Foundation, which is promoting "everyday tools for everyday people designed to increase human welfare, not corporate profits." Aral and his Small Technology co-founder Laura Kalbag have been advocating for regulation of surveillance capitalism, investment in ethical alternatives, and carrying out research and development on ethical alternatives. Aral joins host Steve Boland to discuss decentralized social communication tools for nonprofit organizations (and everyone else!). Aral talks about federated communications tools (the Fediverse) like Mastodon (microblogging like Twitter but without corporate ownership), PixelFed (more image focused like Instagram) and many other ideas. Aral discusses the problematic relationship between charities seeking to have real engagement with audiences and how corporate platforms interfere at best, or undermine those efforts. Federate tools for communication and the small web in general puts more control in the hands of users and removes algorithms from the communications outreach loop for charities. A program note: There was a microphone selection problem during this recording which has Steve sounding a bit muffled and far away. Aral sounds great, so please bear with the audio issue to get all the great information from Aral! More info at NextInNonprofits.com/podcast!

De fleste av oss, ihvertfall i Norge, bruker digital hverdagsteknologi både til arbeid og fritid. Men de verktøyene som en gang lovet oss en enklere og mer demokratisk verden, har vist seg å ha skyggesider i form av overvåkning, politisk polarisering og økonomiske monopoler. I denne episoden ser vi på hva vi kan gjøre for å slippe ut av overvåkningskapitalismens jerngrep. Vi snakker med IT-utvikler og samfunnsdebattant Bjørn Stærk, som utforsker alternativer til de store teknologiselskapene på bloggen Teknologi til å bli glad av. Og vi snakker med Aral Balkan, den ene halvparten av duoen Small Technology Foundation, som arbeider for å gi oss vanlige folk tilbake kontrollen over hverdagsteknologien vår.

A system that the tech giants of Silicon Valley are using and abusing for their gain. We chat about lots of things such as what we can do about this, should we be worried - and what does the future look like as a result of these organisations gaining more and more control of not only the markets but us, as people - I really enjoyed speaking with Aral and loved the parts where he speaks about Design being treated like ‘Decoration’ in organisations who have abuse centred within their business models.

Sponsored by Linode Panelists Allen "Gunner" Gunn | Justin Dorfman | Pia Mancini | Richard Littauer Guest Tobie Langel Show Notes Welcome to Sustain! On today’s episode, we have special guest, Tobie Langel, the Founder of UnlockOpen, from Geneva, Switzerland. Tobie tells us all about UnlockOpen and what he does there. He tells us how he focuses on convincing companies that they need to contribute back to Open Source. Other topics we will talk about are DevOps culture, prototype JavaScript framework not being updated since 2015, which Tobie extensively explains what happened, as well as speaking about lessons to be learned and things we need to be aware of. There is so much great advice and stories shared on this episode. Download it now! [00:01:19] Tobie tells us about UnlockOpen and what he does. [00:02:30] Richard wants to know how do you get in the door as a consultant to try to talk to people about how they should use Open Source and how do you pitch that to people that don’t know what Open Source is? [00:08:04] Tobie discusses how he focuses on convincing companies that they need to contribute back to Open Source. Pia wonders if Tobie thinks we’re making progress towards cultural changes within the audience? [00:12:10] Allen asks Tobie if he’s advancing the notion of DevOps as a gateway drug for all of this open culture. Tobie mentions a book he’s reading called, Accelerate, that_ _talks about the benefits of DevOps culture to companies from a business perspective. [00:14:13] Justin wants to know where Tobie got his kind of background and he also wonders about project abandonment, and prototype JavaScript framework hasn’t been updated since 2015. So, what happened there and what lessons could be learned? [00:24:06] Tobie speaks about learning from history, about lessons to be learned, and things we have to be aware of. [00:26:06] Tobie mentions how he’s a huge fan of DHH and Basecamp and he gives some great advice that he’s learned on focusing on things that matter long term. Justin and Richard also have some positive advice and stories to share as well. [00:35:25] Richard makes an awesome statement here about being resilient. [00:36:20] Tobie tells us where we can find him to learn more about him. Spotlight [00:38:03] Justin’s spotlight is our first bonus podcast episode (#41) with Dave Gandy, and we discussed Font Awesome 6, the donut diet, commitments, and more. Check it out! ☺ [00:42:23] Allen’s spotlight is Open Tech Fund. [00:38:56] Richard’s spotlight is Aral Balkan, a cyborg rights activist. [00:39:17] Toby’s spotlight is a book by Nadia Eghbal called, Working in Public: The Making and Maintenance of Open Source Software. Quotes “It boils down to bottom line and top line. To some degree it’s more than that, obviously, culture, brand, making people feel happy to work in a company. All of those are critical for a company.” [00:10:45] “And we are at the point where we need to cross the chasm. So maybe move that from being something that is essentially something adopted by a few really performant companies at the helm of this effort and move that across to become more mainstream. [00:16:47] “And so the funny thing is I essentially learned JavaScript by reading the source code because there was no documentation and I started contributing to the library by writing documentation for it.” [00:17:44] “It took a lot of time for Sam to realize that he was burning out and just couldn’t spend the time that was needed to give more authority to other people on the project.” [00:21:58] “There was a lot of energy, and people are ready to do a lot of things for the rocket ship because you also benefit personally quite a bit when you’re investing your time in a rocket ship.” [00:25:19] “This goes right to the heart of what we’re trying to talk about here. And so I think one of the things that I’m really picking up from what you’re saying is that it’s better to dedicate yourself towards an ideology of working well in the open, of working with other people, of trying to consistently not just stay ahead of the curve, but work in a way that what you do will matter later.” [00:34:20] “At the same time you could carry that comparison even further kind of ad absurdum, like everything’s the same, because we all need to eat and we all get tired and we all get sleepy and we all get hungry, we’re all kind of anxious and we have to work with other people and what wears kind of annoying and it’s pretty tough.” Links Tobie Langel Twitter (https://twitter.com/tobie?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) UnlockOpen (https://unlockopen.com/) Sustain Podcast-Episode 41: The Donut Diet, Commitments. and More Awesomeness with Dave Gandy (https://fireside.fm/s/fxw-Bcan+HH3L5owT) Open Technology Fund (https://www.opentech.fund/) Aral Balkan (https://ar.al/) [Working in Public: The Making and Maintenance of Open Source Software by Nadia Eghbal](https://www.amazon.com/Working-Public-Making-Maintenance-Software/dp/0578675862/ref=sr12?dchild=1&keywords=working+in+public%3A+the+making&qid=1592942530&sr=8-2) [Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps:Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations by Nicole Forsgren, PhD](https://www.amazon.com/Accelerate-Software-Performing-Technology-Organizations/dp/1942788339/ref=sr12?dchild=1&keywords=accelerate&qid=1592942345&sr=8-2) Credits Produced by Justin Dorfman (https://www.justindorfman.com/) Edited by Paul M.

Koronavirüs salgını boyunca, devletler ve şirketler salgın yönetimi ve hastalığın takibi için uygulamalar geliştirdiler. Ancak gözetleme sistemlerinin salgın ile birlikte daha çok kullanılması ve insanlar tarafından kabul edilir hale gelmesi, tartışmaları da beraberinde getirdi. Yeni gözetleme teknolojilerini, salgın ile birlikte artan takip uygulamalarını, salgından sonra gözetleme sistemlerinin nereye gidebileceğini Small Technology Foundation’ın eş kurucusu Aral Balkan ile konuştuk. Balkan, gözetleme sistemleri için “Bu sistemlerin çoğu yaratıldı, daha da öteye gitmeye çalışıyorlar” diyor.

UXAUS2019 Day 1 Big Tech, with its billion-dollar unicorns, has robbed us of the potential of the Internet. Fueled by the extreme shortsightedness and greed of venture capital and startups, the utopic vision of a decentralised and democratic commons has morphed into the dystopic autocracy of Silicon Valley panopticons that we call surveillance capitalism. This status quo violates our human rights, threatens our democracies, and casts doubt on the integrity of personhood itself. Aral Balkan is a designer and programmer who has been making things with computers for the past 35 years. He's spent the last five of those working on the problem of technologically regulating the abuses of surveillance capitalism as well as designing freedom-respecting alternatives to it. In this talk, he presents his latest thinking on how we can create alternatives to surveillance capitalism that cannot be co-opted. His suggestion is simple: Think small.

Because even if you're outside of Europe, when you find yourself handling personal data of a European citizen (even if you're based outside the EU), you have to comply with the strict GDPR rules. GDPR?The General Data Protection Regulation is a very strict privacy protocol installed by the European Commision, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. It will prohibit companies from asking for data they don’t need, and from storing and using private data in a non-compliant way. The fines for non-compliance are substantial. Even if you’re not in Europe, you could theoretically get a penalty for not complying. But even if you don't, not playing by the rules will cost you your European B2B customers. Is the end of data harvesting near? And what does this mean for content and UX? That's what we discuss in this month's podcast.COOKIE CONSENT WAS JUST A TASTER, GET READY FOR THE MAIN COURSE.   EXTRA BACKGROUND ON THE GDPRTHE 6 principles of privacyLawfulness, fairness and transparency Private data should only be used by organisations in a lawful and fair way. It should be crystal clear to the user how their personal data will be processed. Purpose limitationsOrganisations are only allowed to use the consensually obtained data for the goals they communicated at the time of the transaction. They can no longer take a database and use it for purposes other or unrelated to what was communicated to the user.Data minimisationOrganisations can only ask for the information that is essential for their service. Profiling or marketing are (most of the time) not essential for servicing the client.AccuracyInformation has to be straightforwardly interpreted and not out of date. It should be rectifiable by the user. Storage limitationsPersonal data can only be stored for a few years, and only in a secure file or document, on a secure server that is physically in Europe. Integrity and confidentialityPrivate data should be stored and processed in a way that the data is protected from loss, destruction or damage.Consent is king, transparency is queen The magic word in the new GDPR regulations is ‘consent’. As an organisation, you need to get consent of the user, or 'data subject' in GDPR terms, that is...Informed: they need to know what they’re consenting to.Freely given: you can’t force someone to give their data to use your service.Specific: they are only agreeing to what you are specifically saying they are agreeing to.Unambiguous: just like in other cases where you need consent: consent is a clear yes, not the absence of a no.Privacy by design and Privacy by defaultPrivacy by Design is about the whole engeneering process of a service. It takes privacy into account at every step. We also describe this as value sensitive design, in which human values are taken into account, in a well-defined maner throughout the whole process. Privacy by Default: all the privacy settings are set to optimal privacy. You will be asked for consent when prompted for personal details. Also, only the bare minimum will be asked for. Privacy by Default can be seen as a subset of Privacy by design.Meet our 5 experts Aral Balkan - Ind.ie Aral Balkan is a cyborg rights activist, one third of ethical software company Ind.ie and part of the DiEM initiative.

If I’m concerned about privacy, my guest today is probably ten times more so. Aral is an activist, a designer and a software developer. He’s one of the founders of Indie, a tiny social enterprise working for social justice in the digital age. He’s also the man behind the Ethical Design Manifesto. We talk about Aral’s view on the evolution of computing, current business models of cloud services and venture capital. We cover the Ethical Design Manifesto and its implications on the software we build.

"Being a citizen is crafting the society you live," in says Aral Balkan, Founder of Ind.ie and a champion of democracy and design. In this podcast, the 5th from Civic Radio, Aral Balkan talks about how we communicate with each other, the tools and programmes we use to do this (and the perhaps hidden costs we give in exchange) and how we might build systems that better support the interests of the people who use them. Likening Twitter to a shopping mall, rather than a public park, he questions the way we confuse private spheres, run by Silicon Valley corporations, with public spheres  and calls for more social organisations, independent of venture capital that build things that add to the commons.        

Has the world of commerce encroached irrevocably on our civic spaces, and how much do we care? How much is civic exclusion growing because of what participation demands or expects of us? Civic Radio is on the road, seeking out the people and organisations that are exploring these topics in different ways. In this episode we meet Aral Balkan od Ind.ie Civic Radio is part of the Civic Shop and is published by Tech for Good TV

Carl and Richard chat with Aral Balkan about mobile application design. The conversation starts with a discussion of Aral's keynote at NDC and the design thinking that went into it - avoid cognitive dissidence, clutter, etc. Aral then dives into the dangers of hybrid apps: how combining HTML 5 and native wrappers does not make cross-platform development free. And finally the show wraps up with a great discussion on design as a whole. Just the show you need if you're debating how to build your mobile applications!

The Internet sits at the head of a long table of technologies that have revolutionised our world. Built on top of the base Internet stack, the World Wide Web has further democratised access to information, opened hitherto closed doors to human self-expression and communication, and laid the foundations of a semantically-rich and interconnected body of knowledge the likes of which have never been seen before.

Most apps suck. Making an app that doesn’t suck is hard work and requires uncompromising focus. We call apps that don’t suck "usable". However, in the Age of User Experience, making apps that are merely usable is no longer good enough. So how can you go beyond making usable apps to creating exceptional experiences that evoke powerful emotions in users? In this inspirational session, Aral will offer you an impassioned glimpse into his approach of authoring apps that people find joyful and fun; apps that people fall in love with. Delight, story, empathy, character, voice, beauty, fun, and play are just some of the topics that will be covered and illustrated with examples from Aral’s decade-long experience in authoring web, Flash, desktop, and mobile apps, including his latest top-selling iPhone app, Feathers. Aral Balkan is an independent interaction designer and developer with over a decade of experience in creating web, Flash, desktop, and mobile applications. His latest iPhone app, Feathers, was featured by Apple as "New and Notable" and reached #1 in the What’s Hot list in the US. It is often cited as an example of beautiful, emotional design. Aral aims to build beautiful, empathic apps that create joy and delight. He shares his experiences, frustrations, and joys via his blog, tweets, and the numerous keynotes and talks he gives around the world every year.
