The solution to the privacy paradox is convenience. People want convenient products that respect them by default, that they can trust will not exploit them, that allow them to participate in digital society with peace of mind, knowing they are in complete control. https://puri.sm/posts/avoiding-big-tech-to-protect-your-privacy/ https://librem.one/ #purism #libremone

Every now and then I like to give a shout out to software that has made my life a lot better. This time I like to give a mention to G.I.M.P / GLIMPSE. I think we are so lucky to have free access to such a powerful and feature rich application that has been around for a while now and only gets better with time! #gimp #glimpse #libresoftware #freesoftware #gnu

That's the thing about this fediverse account, for me.
I wasn't so engaged when I used Twitter routinely. In my experience, people here seem have a better tolerance for randomness and kindness.
It has been a lot more fun to engage with others via "social media" as a result.
The Stockholm syndrome is strong today. It’s everywhere I look, maybe it’s been this way for a while and I was to preoccupied to notice. There are entire generations, millions upon millions of people all severely psychologically strained by the affect. It’s the majority now.
