Hello Fediverse! 👋 I'm Kalvin, an IT student and disability & humane-tech activist from Malaysia. I'm passionate about digital sovereignty and self-host my own services using a YunoHost/Docker hybrid setup. I'm here to connect with the community as just one node in the network, advocating for a web that works for everyone.

It takes a lot of effort to communicate online. It is a skill that we did not evolve with. Intuitive human communication always has a well defined and a somewhat understood receiver/audience. I think LLM's are remarkable in helping us communicate online while being constructive. I passed 40 screenshots of a YouTube video to Claude to help me write a more constructive reply and it was remarkably helpful. #llm #humane #humanetech #digital #literacy
As we move deeper into the 2nd quarter of the 21st century, it does not remotely look like the tech utopia we were once promised.
The blueprint for humane and sustainable societies is still theoretical, still waiting for aspirational words to translate into actions, inventions, realizations...
The US and China have claimed their respective niches, the question is what the rest of the world (and in particular Europe) will do (if anything).

#HumaneTech community posted a more elaborate infocard on the need for #FOSS projects to 🪙 pay more attention to their #FSDL in ways that'll easily get their #ROI in terms of 💎 #commons value.
Just spending a little extra #FSDL time 🪙🪙 investment may often yield a great Return on Involvement. In other words they are no-brainers, really low-hanging fruits in common terminology.

Is AI just a "slot machine" for random content, or is it a digital prosthetic for the neurodivergent mind? My latest essay explores how I use AI as a shield to protect my dignity and survive in a world not built for me.

AI is a vital tool for disabled individuals like me, not a threat to authenticity. It eases the burden of masking, letting my true ideas shine. It defends my dignity in a system that values only 'human capital'—my digital paintbrush, still wielded by me.

[Opinion] Sovereignty was once exclusive to the powerful—governments, billionaires, and elites controlling the rules. Add "Social" and everything shifts.

[Summary] Why Mastodon and the Fediverse are essential for "Social Sovereignty." We must reclaim our digital identities from centralised corporate control.

For two years, the system misdiagnosed my Akathisia as "panic." The truth? A chatbot identified the drug overdose, forcing me to become my own advocate.

My manifesto challenges the capitalist pursuit of extrinsic value, which feels like a maze. True freedom lies in defining our worth through connection and authenticity, not money or continuous exponential growth.

This report challenges digital algorithms that label BPD as a 'villain' narrative. We demand compassion, viewing erratic behaviour not as calculated abuse, but as a desperate fight against internal pain and fear of abandonment.

[Repost] We were promised connection but got exploitation. The "electric tomb" is suffocating; we must choose self-sufficiency and genuine connection over systems built to mine our lives for profit.

[Repost] Holding up the "falling sky" is the human struggle to prevent the triumph of corruption. The "demanding lie" is the pressure to conform and stay silent. Resistance is mandatory.

Tristan Harris from https://www.humanetech.com/ on The Daily Show:
"We are building the most powerful, inscrutable, uncontrollable technology that we have ever invented, that's already demonstrating the rogue behaviours that we thought only existed in bad sci-fi movies. We're releasing it faster than we've deployed any other technology in history and under the maximum incentive to cut corners on safety. [...] This does not have to be our destiny."
