Today’s links:

  • Microsoft's new 'Data Dignity' team could help users control their personal data - This seems like a good direction to go in, but will it be just some buzzword factory, or will they actually do some valuable work that can be used in the real world - How about just starting with boring old websites and data and do the crazy mixed reality blockchain ai apocalypse Gerard Lanier stuff till later?www.zdnet.com #

  • How TikTok Holds Our Attention - Overall I liked this piece, it starts off a bit slow and then gets good when the author details their experience in being on TikTok, it does go on a bit long and takes a few turns into some of the darker sides of the platform, but it's a good read with some interesting insight into one of these 'modern' video social media platformswww.newyorker.com #

  • Adobe Fresco iPad Drawing App Now Available - The product video makes this look pretty amazing, anyone that has ever enjoyed drawing at any stage in their life is likely to quite like thiswww.pcmag.com #
