I'm a #foss, #hpc, #containers, #bioinformatics nerd from Cornwall, now in Texas.
I write #golang code and other stuff from home, for a container startup.
What will the #PinePhone Linux smartphone look like? Wonder no more, as @martijnbraam just assembled it for you to know:

Finally! Might be able to ride my bike without melting. Has been a worryingly late end to summer temps.
Joined @sir 's #sourcehut as a (low) paying customer while I try it out. Looks good so far. Hope it's a sustainable #foss venture with a great future.
8 CDs ripped to #flac... only 440 to go.. this may take a few months 😆
3rd time ripping CD collection, this time to #flac. Should have done that the last time... don't think the disk space was prohibitively expensive even 8 yrs ago. Doh!
😩
i've defended rms' pedantry
i believe in free software
i believe copyleft is essential
i believe AGPL3 is the best license
i disagree with those who say "software freedom isn't important these days" or that ease of use is more important
but every time RMS makes the news he undermines the FSF and the free software movement 🤦♂️
i just e-mailed them to discontinue my recurring donation and told them why
gonna increase my donation to software freedom conservancy instead
Switched over to https://vscodium.com/ from vscode, glad someone already did this

This article presents a number of good, important issues with these devices. And to be clear on my position: no, you absolutely should not buy a Ring camera.
In my LibrePlanet 2017 talk, I asked surveillance camera owners to make sure that they are only recording their own property, not sidewalks or streets and such. Ring wasn't a thing back then, and it all but ensures that you capture passerbys (unless your doorbell isn't visible from the street). Now I consider it one of our greatest practical privacy threats.
