I spent today messing with a simplified layout for Mastodon, but haven't arrived at anything that I like enough to show.

“Just install Linux on it” is the “just change the engine of your car” of tech.

Not everyone is a mechanic, not everyone wants to be a mechanic, and, if we want a world where freedom is the norm, we must stop expecting everyone to become a mechanic.

Note: this is not because these people are too dumb to be mechanics. It’s because they’re brain surgeons and space-shuttle pilots and they have three kids and they care for a loved one and they don’t have time to also be a mechanic.

Yo ASCII / ANSI / BBS artists!

Want to get your work featured on the cover of Linux Journal?

Break out your copy of TheDraw (naturally) and come up with something Linux-y or computer-y and send it in.

The Librem One suite of online services (Chat, Social, Tunnel, & Email) wouldn't be possible without the amazing work of countless Free Software developers all around the world.

Here's a primer on the stellar projects we work with to make it possible:

@danielst Wir sehen und verkaufen #deinwal auch lieber als Informationstool - insbesondere auch um die letzte Legislaturperiode nochmal Revue passieren zu lassen.
Aber uns ist die #Verantwortung natuerlich auch bewusst - und fuehrt zu einigen schlaflosen Naechten und jeder menge hitzige #Diskussionen ob eine Frage mit rein soll oder nicht und um minimales Wording etc...

Pleroma users rejoice!

@Digitalcourage Schlimmer noch: anonymizeIP bezieht sich nicht auf die Daten, die bei der Einbindung des Scriptes selbst entstehen. Das geht aus der technischen Dokumentation hervor. Weiß aber leider so ziemlich gar niemand. Daher müsste man leider noch viel mehr Websites verklagen.

Social media platforms censor many voices, not just conservatives with huge followings. EFF's TOSsed Out project shows how speech moderation rules unfairly ban many people who don't deserve it and lack resources to easily mover to other mediums: https://www.eff.org/press/releases/eff-project-shows-how-people-are-unfairly-tossed-out-platforms-absurd-enforcement

Gotta love what @purism are doing with Librem One. Streamlining things like Matrix and Mastodon into a suite like this is great.

Here's hoping that it catches on with the masses

For everyone not happy with news relating to Google, Android, and Huawei...

I'm just going to leave this right here...

Wenn Ranga Yogeshwar in diesem Video aufzählt, was #Google alles über uns weiß, könnte man die Aufzählung noch lange fortsetzen.

Wer weiß schon, dass Google global die meisten #DNS-Auflösungen bearbeitet und dadurch fast immer weiß, wer welche Website besucht – auch ohne #Tracker wie #GoogleAnalytics?

Darum habe ich dieses Pad gestartet – um Alternativen zu Google-Diensten zusammenzutragen: https://pad.foebud.org/google-alternatives

Der Wahl-O-Mat darf nicht mehr betrieben werden (siehe: https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Verwaltungsgericht-stoppt-Wahl-O-Mat-4426878.html) Aber unser Digital-O-Mat, der ist noch voll aktiv: https://ep2019.digital-o-mat.de/ #europawahl2019

Three conclusions to draw from #Google denying #Huawei access to software & the importance #FreeSoftware has for technology users, public bodies, and businesses alike: https://fsfe.org/news/2019/news-20190520-01.html
