Interesting Things on the Internet: July 1st 2019
- On Github Sponsors. Actually a good explanation of how OpenCollective supports open source, and let's more of us support open source projects. I pay for my my Mastodon social account through OpenCollective.
- GDPR makes it easier to get your data, but that doesn’t mean you’ll understand it. Interesting to see people starting to get the data that companies hold on us. It'd be nice to arrange a hackday sometime so we can play around with those datasets and see if (a) we can better explain to people the risks around this, and (b) see if we can use the data to our advantage.
- How Oxford university shaped Brexit — and Britain’s next prime minister (might be trapped behind an FT paywall). An excellent, if dispiriting, explanation about how Eton and Oxford (and related educational institutions) prep the series of chancers who've risen to power here in the UK. We need to work out how to break this cycle.
