In this episode, Jared gives a detailed rundown of all of the big commercial internet services he’s replaced with open source, self-hosted software that he controls himself. Why would anyone want to do this? Three words: privacy, security, and network health. Just as biologists know that an ecosystem with a large amount of organism diversity is more resilient to environmental pressures, the internet is more resilient to negative forces when software and content is distributed and spread across the network (instead of consolidated under the thumb of a few big corporations or governments). Save the open web by switching to your own “personal cloud.”

The first 1 hour long episode of The Jared White Show ever! From computer meltdowns to Dongletown, from dreaming of WWDC 2019 goodies to pontificating on the coming iOS app invasion for the Mac, this is one Apple extravaganza you won’t want to miss. Oh so much good stuff inside, so pour yourself a cuppa and let’s get started.

In today’s episode, Jared gives his spoiler-free review of Alita: Battle Angel, both the pros and the cons (but mostly pros!). Plus the challenges of living in San Francisco and why Kevin moved to Paris, Emma Thompson takes down The Man (Mr. Lasseter), the Heretic Happy Hour, and we’re just getting started!

At long last it’s here: Jared’s bold predictions of what will move and shake the world of social media in 2019. Will the fediverse last? Will Facebook implode? Will our brains all get uploaded to the Matrix? (Just kidding, there’s nothing in here about the Matrix. What do you think this is, 1999?) Also, the era of the foldable smartphone is upon us, the WorldWideWeb is back baby, and a whole lot more.

Jared was sick…but at long last he’s been told he’ll make a full recovery, so enjoy this latest episode of the show: recorded, edited, produced, and published exclusively on iPad Pro! Yes, Jared has a brand-new tablet with Ferrite installed, which means it’s totally possible to record a podcast anywhere, anytime. Also in this episode: thoughts on Zucked, the new book by Facebook cheerleader-turned-critic Roger McNamee, how it could be possible to live as a web developer and creator without using any Apple tools, and a whole lot more.

Everyone’s talking about the Fyre festival documentary, so of course Jared does too…along with NSA dragnet busting Edward Snowden. What does one have to do with the other? Listen to the show and find out! Also: HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY iPAD! Plus what normal people understand about how Facebook’s ad tech works (hint: they don’t), and a whole lot more.

What an action-packed show to kick off 2019! In this episode, Jared talks about the launch of his new Patreon subscription package, the positive response he got from friends and loved ones about his private family photo gallery powered by SmugMug, the greatly exaggerated death of RSS, Apple is doomed (again?), and more. Time to hit that play button!

LAST EPISODE OF 2018! Herein our intrepid host pontificates on the virtues of forming habits (not resolutions) in the coming year, and talks about the latest otherworldly developments on the web—including deepfakes, Doctor Strange 2, Facebook security breaches (I’m shocked, shocked! to find this sort of thing is going on here), and a whole lot more.

In this week’s post-Thanksgiving extravaganza, host Jared presents a video of great planetary significance, dribbles a ball over to the fine purveyors of podcast player Castro, drops a Chinese dragonfly on Google, and talks YET AGAIN about weird religion!

In this episode, Jared talks about his latest journey into the world of microblogging, the problems of live news analysis and skewed U.S. election coverage, the wild cultish world of Wild Wild Country, social media’s effect on depression, and more.
