Identity, like many things, is a social construct, not part of some natural order. As a dual national, I&#39;m acutely aware that when and how I assert an identity credential, or characteristic, depends on context. Therefore, digital systems that help us assert these identities must be responsive to people’s contextual needs and under their control. Otherwise, we’re just building more surveillance tools. 2025-07-17T09:41:36Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswuaxx9u7d9ktz27ndw245ew3yujctgw0eh452dr3kmeyt44wthpqzyzkqsxpuqlq626pqwngkcnvf2u7290a9s95vrjtyjvdpnjmqd853zrh7eku Me: &#34;Email marketing doesn&#39;t work.&#34;<br/><br/>Also me, after a local pub sends me an email featuring an image of a really nice looking cocktail: &#34;Hmmmm we really should go back to that place.&#34; 2025-05-26T08:08:59Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsytsrmkl8rc3hl2cgd3hghjfapdmneg8p7850jradvnude08m6ntqzyzkqsxpuqlq626pqwngkcnvf2u7290a9s95vrjtyjvdpnjmqd853zq03ul3 Third party cookies need to go. <a href="https://w3ctag.github.io/web-without-3p-cookies/">https://w3ctag.github.io/web-without-3p-cookies/</a> 2025-04-28T15:25:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvtk7caqh52nljhyc33kr5z458zmsjzn9wlxm3pq8e88plyr4qthqzyzkqsxpuqlq626pqwngkcnvf2u7290a9s95vrjtyjvdpnjmqd853z95wm3x Lord save me from &#34;how did we do?&#34; emails?
